Some do; some just have faith. There are lots of things that are faith-based, even if you don't believe in God. Thinks like empathy, honesty, senses of fairness, love, a desire to help others. Maybe you're a sociopath and don't feel any of these things. Or maybe you're just an idiot. John

There appears to be no evidence that delusion and electronics design ability are mutually exclusive.

I am an agnostic, I help people, like some, try not to tell fibs, and love some(not all) people. And I do not need faith for that, only experience and common sense. And I dont want to blow up people who think otherwise. I leave blowing up people to (regi)fanatics. |
