Atheists believe in nonsense too.

    Yeah I'll admit that I think people who think they talk to God or believe in a superpower is freaking nuts!

    But I'm a freaking nut too. I seriously believe that there must be alien life out there! No I don't believe we have been contacted by aliens or any such things.

    I look up in the stars and believe somewhere there is a planet with an intelligent being looking at our Sun wondering the same thing, as lost as we are.

    There is no indication that may be even remotely true. We might just be freaks of nature and be the only species in the universe.

    Yeah but at the end of the day, you're willing to concede that you just don't know. It's exhausting to feel the need to vehemently defend beliefs based on faith in the face of scientific fact and being freed of that has been the best form of liberty - at least in my case.

    Nomad, if it's just us, it seems like an awful waste of space. (I'm paraphrasing someone who quoted someone else.)

    Poopsie, I agree. Being able to say "ya know, I don't know" is pretty damn refreshing. I think I'm just gonna make that my default answer for everything.

    Its ok to believe in nonsense. Just be careful when you know your nonsense is true and punish others for not believing it as vehemently as you do.
