" I was still left with only three potential explanations for belief: superstition, neediness, or blind acceptance." This statement lacks a perceptual balance. Without going to an opposite extreme I would like to offer three comparable terms. superstition vs an explanation of phenomena that is not completely founded in applied physics. neediness vs motivation blind acceptance vs faith based acceptance based on moral promise rather than material evidence. As I mentioned previously one does not conclude from the fact that communication can go badly that communication is bad. Lazy or dependant people can opt for superstition rather than explore a deeper understanding of phenomena. People are need based. We seek food to satisfy hunger. Why would we not seek understanding of our creation to satisfy the need know purpose in life. People can accept authority without question and run the risk of being bound to a corrupt authority. However, acceptance that there is a higher order is far from blind, which is why believing involves responsibility and commitment to principle.
