"The thought processes of the most devout believers are the same basic combinations of factors as those of the least religious. For everyone the mental life consists of a regular mixture of common sense, ignorance, insight, oversight, at times pristine logical thinking, at other times glaring errors or blind spots, biases, confusion, emotionalism, etc. "
That is garbage talk by a superstitious Nim. There is no logic or reason involved in superstitious beliefs. There is only ignorance and the comfort and denial of IGNORANCE. The fact that reason is imperfect does NOT equate to a level playing field between people who face facts and honestly seek the truth, and those who are dishonest with themselves and actively seek to use sophistry to permit superstitious beliefs to prevail in their noggins. |
