"The only thing you are missing is a desperate need to fit in--you don't have the mind of a sheep.   The fact is that "intelligent" believers are simply well-educated believers.  Being a believer actually makes it easier top…"

Kirk Holden replied to Thew's discussion 'Missing Something?'
"The plural of anecdote is not data. If you asked everyone you knew to take a survey you would likely find less useless coersion by irrationality. You are reinforcing a cognitive bias that intellegent people are rational in all aspects of their lives…"
