I have to wonder if there is something inherent in logical beings where we are willing to accept that which really makes no sense as 'truth' as long as it supports or is required for our world view.
I do not require a god for my world view. Therefore I can be dispassionate and see just how silly all the effort people put into religion seems to be. Its like adults playing make believe when I see it.
But while someone can be logical about a world view that isn't shared, they seem to have problems when it comes to their own. A Christian can make fun of a neo-pagans beliefs, and there is plenty to make fun of there, yet not see the same silliness when they go to church to eat jewish zombie crackers.
But the same applies to more than just religion. There is a basic blindness people seem to have based on this world view, where probability and logic just can't soak in. I've often thought that for a lot of people, politics have replaced their religion, and perhaps thats exactly what it has. They get rid of their one wacky world view idea but then replace it with another one.
The question is can you look at your own world view and find your wacky spots? I'd like to think I can, but who knows, people have been willing to die for theirs so finding them might be beyond what a lot of people can do.
