Perhaps I am. A lot of contradictions abound in arguments where logic is utilized to illustrate abstract notions. When you reach the point where religion is pulled into the fray, I tend to see a blurry distinction between fact and hopeful thinking. Whether this distinction is a purely opinionated viewpoint, or fact; has always been a point of contention for me, especially considering most people will tend to drive their points home without any consideration as to the facts, or value of the facts.

Regarding the post made by sonikjuice, it just sounds to me, as though a situation where people have to imagine a God into existence so as to make their existence bearable, is an intolerable and generally inconceivable situation, especially when you regard the fact that most of the population of developed countries, like America, Britain, Tokyo, et al, are within the middle to upper class wealth percentile. Add to this the fact that organized religion has, as its proponents, the majority of the human race, and I would say that someone or something has got everyone hallucinating the exact same thing at the exact same time. Wonderful achievement, I would say. I wonder who's doing it?
