Evidence for Believing

[mordant]

I'm not talking about just Jesus, Allah, Brahman,  etc.   I'm talking about God.  So you think billions of educated,  non-delusional people are stupid, mistaken or delusional.  You are smarter and more perceptive than the vast majority of past and present day people?

I don't think it's a question of being smarter or more perceptive. It's a question of evidential standards and making the effort to overcome our sloppy thinking and demonstrated tendency to confirmation bias.

I think I'm no smarter than most people but I am far more SKEPTICAL than most, and I draw far fewer (as in zero) conclusions where there is no evidence to support it. I am this way because my life experience has taught me that this epistemological approach to thinking leads to far better outcomes in lived experience.
