It is called cognitive dissonance....

I'm aware of that .

You get my vote for the most self aware theist.

I have cognitive dissonance too. I believe my daughter to be the smartest kid alive, though I have no proof to back up my claim; at the same time, I expect other such claims to be upheld by certain standards of evidence. So sue me. Jacob admits his ridiculous nature, we slap "cognitive dissonance" on it as a label, and we should all go home happy.

I'll be honest, I read that last paragraph a few times and and still don't understand what you mean exactly. You think I'm an atheist, pretending to be a theist with doubts who is admitting to having those doubts in order to make people identify with the person I'm only pretending to be? Too convoluted for me at this time of night. I'll have to come back to it when I'm fresh.

Oh as to the science thing, there is a difference between using a spiritual model I know to be flawed for something outside of science (spirituality) and using a supernatural explanation for perfectly prosaic things which science has simply not got around to yet. The former is more akin to philosophy. What makes lightning and how did life begin are different sorts of questions to what does love mean to me and is the golden rule internally consistent. I have religious beliefs for things I don't understand in an abstract sense, not in a specific empirical sense. I don't understand how paracetamol works, but I don't feel the need to apply a supernatural explanation for it.

Regarding all the back-and-forthing in this thread, I would like to take this opportunity to say that, even in dowdy clothes, with her face and hair mussed, and in the middle of a panic attack, Milla Jovovich is a slammin' hottie.

I hope this helps in resolving any disputes.

We have very different tastes in women.

She looked ok in Zoolander and that is as far as it goes for me.

Have to disagree with you there. The only people I imagine would find her attractive here are priests. If you catch my drift.

There is something boyish about her.

10 Catholic priests die in a minibus crash. When they reach the pearly gates st Paul shakes his head and says "anyone who abused their position of trust can turn around and bog off"

9 turn to go, St Paul shouts after them "and take this deaf Motherfucker with you!
