You know my vocabulary has improved quite a bit reading on these boards and the old IC boards.My devout devotion to the Law of Parsimony leaves me cold to the idea of God, religion, the soul, prophecies and revelations. I'm aware that they could exist but ,with the parlay between them existing and being meaningful for the eyeblink we exist in the universe. I'm led to treat them as meaningless concepts. That said, I don't care what someone else believes.
The sticking point is that people insist that they not only have meaning but that I have to accept that they do. They are also convinced that they are better people because they believe that despite the fact that there is literally nothing about the origins of their religions that are verifiable or even believable. What ever happened to laissez faire?
I struggle a little with parsimony also, but I'm working on it. Listening to Ramit Sethi has helped me a lot.
And I completely agree with your statements here, 100%.
