201. Sad? Because of a book?
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 09:58 PM by Az
Belief in such things predate that little book. Any competent sociologist or anthropologist will tell you that such beliefs are very common place. It is more notable when they are missing than when they are present. Just because some of us have struggled free of such beliefs does not mean they are stupid beliefs. Who knows. Perhaps we atheists are the result of a neurological anomaly and we are the freaks. There are studies to suggest such things.

People believe in gods. Sometimes brilliant people believe in gods. I find the notion that just because a person believes in gods they must be stupid to itself be a foolish position. I have watched too many brilliant theist debaters eat alive an atheist that presumed they knew more than the theist.
