No one is asking you to fool yourself but rather to simply keep an open mind to the possibility. That is the definition of an "agnostic", exactly what I call myself, since I realized at about the age of 13 that atheism is as much of a baseless belief as belief in God. Can you 'see' Einstein's theory on the speed of light? You can, actually. There have been recent observations that validate it. Wonder if Carl Sagan and a thousand unrelated, creditable others told you they saw the dragon? Would you believe in the dragon then? No I wouldn't. That is the whole point. Kind of like astrology - loads of people sincerely believe the planets in the sky at the moment of your birth affect your whole life & personality. Sorry, but I can't. You would love to see what makes them think so" but up above you said: "I have never felt this pain you are talking about". If you would love to see something and are unable to for whatever reason isn't there some pain associated with this unrequited longing? Not at all. You would love to see what makes them think so OUT OF CURIOUSITY. Otherwise, it does not pain you one bit that you do not share in their collective hallucination.
