Re: Doubting of Religious Faith

I believe in evidence and coherent logical processes. I believe that humans have incredible depths of information regarding cognition, and the nature of delusions.

At the point where you educate yourself on things like subjective validation, conformation bias, and selective memory, as well as children's non-choice in believing 99% of what their parents tell them up until a certain point in life... well, go figure.

I get the question of "why aren't you a believer?" often enough, and there's a very obvious answer.

"Why would I be?"

Edit: What I meant to say was, "I detest religion and dogmatic practices." However, people deserve respect, even if ideas do not.
