I find it likewise amusing that we can convince a blind person there is a world that we sighted people see... given the persistence of evidence, decades of testimony, and the unabashed consistency of the claim.
And yet, a person without any visible disorder will deny the existence of reality over and over again. The basis for which is the opposite of demonstration.
The schizophrenic realizes they are wrong, when they may be justified given their experience, which can be very convincing, to think themselves right. And yet the religious points to nothing, to lack of experience, lack of a God, lack of consistent data... and comes to justify the Truth of a deity.
What kind of bizarro world is this when the schizophrenic is the paradigm case for rationality?
