I do not deny any possibility. I just don't see any reason to believe that believing without evidence is rational. I'm not saying it's impossible.

You are selective in what you apply that to tho' Evie.

RE: Religion is nothing more than misplaced mythology
What do you mean? I expect evidence for every one of my beliefs. Any failure in my rationality to be impartial and apply it to all beliefs, is due to the fact that I am imperfect. I hope I do, indeed, try my best to make no special cases.

You don't apply it to your philosophical reasoning.

My philosophical reasoning is hypothetical. I am not believing in it, so I am not believing in it without (the E word).

I would believe it if I knew of any evidence for it.

The E word is... Elephant? Smile

As a question of interest fr0d0... why do you believe that Christianity is any more true than other mythology?

RE: Religion is nothing more than misplaced mythology
Considering that Christianity is nothing more than a compilation of plagiarized myths I too would love to know what makes Christianity rise above all the other myths from whence it stole its ideas and upon whose foundation Christianity literally stands upon.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition

Interesting fact (though you might already know this), in hinduism, there is an elepahant god that represents success. Smile
