What I don't get is how believers of supernatural beings argue that they know something, for example, Cynosure's belief that god exists outside the Universe.
We don't know if/where the Universe ends, or "how" it ends, there are a few theories, but none of them have any evidence that is firm.
I just don't understand faith, and I guess it's frustrating for me, is it a "either you get it or you don't?" thing?
You can talk about theologists and scholars like they present overwhelming evidence of God's location, but everyone who believes in this stuff basically get their info from the same source, and it's not really a vast one: the Bible.
On religion, I think whether you're an atheist or not depends mostly on your parents. Most people just believe what their parents tell them. Some change, but on a whole I think that's how it works.
I guess it goes both ways, but wouldn't it make more sense to be skeptical about something you can't see or touch or ever have proof of, instead of just believing it because everyone else does?
I guess there's no real aim to my post, just expressing what I don't "get" about religion. And I'm not trying to be narrow minded either, I really wanna understand how religious people think.
