Is it stupidity to believe that the universe exists the way it does because chemicals react and rocks bounce off rocks, and that light moves very fast? No.
But is it stupidity to believe that the universe exists the way it does because a powerful being imagined those chemicals, those rocks and the idea of light, and in whatever way, made the process occur? No.
Faith is not idiocy. Idiocy is idiocy, and all too often people cover their idiocy with faith.
Faith is not a disease. It is, in the end, an idea, and an idea as complicated, beautiful and extraordinary as a belief in God will always be misunderstood by far too many people.
We are not liars, we are not con artists, we are not evil or illogical or stupid or mindless sheep.
No more than anyone is. And when people say we are, it breaks my heart.
No it doesn't. The heart is a muscle. What it really does is injure me emotionally through the stimuli entering my brain, chemical reactions occurring and it being reflected in my change of mood, my mood changing in what many would deem a negative and dramatic way.
It would be illogical to think otherwise... right?
We all believe in something. Ideas are what make humanity beautiful and horrific and everything between.
