That's exactly how I feel about "God". I cannot grasp why otherwise
intelligent, rational people -- especially techies -- suspend their common
sense to believe in an invisible man in the sky.
I welcome a debate with anyone here who claims that believing in god(s) is
somehow "different".
I can't grasp how otherwise intelligent, rational people, especially techies,
don't believe in God. The alternative is illogical, as we understand better
than most, just how complex things really are.
Because we're not gullible?

by the clean end.
