I once had a work colleague who tried to convince me that I should embrace spirituality rather than atheism.
When I told him there was no evidence to support what he was pushing on me, he responded by telling me about a "course" he'd done in spirituality.
He said that it had to be true, because the guy running the course had spent his whole life studying spirituality.
When I asked him if that made all the priests, Rabbis, witch doctors, etc. true as well, he didn't understand where I was coming from.
It seemed to me, that because he wanted to believe in spirituality (by this, I'm talking believing in ghosts, angels, reincarnation and truckloads of other out there stuff), he chose anything he grab hold of it to validate his beliefs, whether logical or not.
Isn't this really what all religious people do?
Why are they so adamant that illogical ideas are true?
