[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have thought and thought about this. How can anyone believe religion is real? To me it is all superstition. I can understand why some people need it— it gives them community, structure, for some, morals and for others excuses to commit atrocities.  But really, what separates idol worship from Jesus worship or monotheism? In my mind it is all a bunch of made up nonsense that is not grounded in reality. It’s crazy to think that highly intelligent people believe all this. [/quote]

Smart, rational people do not start premises like this with “to me,” “I can understand,” etc

Smart, rational people know that there is a lot that they don’t know and just because they aren’t currently experiencing something at this given moment, does not mean it is not quite real.

Smart, rational people are that way because they are open to what they don’t know.

So you miss the boat there, OP [/quote]

Are you saying that OP is not smart and rational and that you are?[/quote]
