morons AND people you don't have time to convince

exactly, that's why they are terrible

which is most people

You can't run society without them

your lack of faith in humans is disturbing.

Your faith in humans is religious

burned

i am unironically a secular humanist

Good for u

all belief structures are religious

checkmate, skeptic™

No, not really. That is not actually the point

The point is that it is impractical to the point of impossibility to follow a fully thought through pattern of behavior all the time. You have to trust in preexisting narratives at some point.

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM i assume people aren't idiots and am completely open to the idea that they might be pieces of shit. how is that any way related to a religious idea.

And at that point there is a very legitimate point to say that you take things on faith

@D.kota What do you mean? Obama DID destroy the country!

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM even thought it might be difficult, it is possible, correct?

No

Literally impossible

so, its completely impossible for any person to operate on a fully thought out process at all times?

Unless you ignore all preexisting knowledge and come with everything on your own. OR if you have a comprehensive understanding of all the (vagueley relevant) knowledge ever produced by humanity.

At SOME point you have to trust an authority figure about something. You won't always have the time and energy to verify weather they are telling the truth.

there is a difference between human intution and operating on faith.

No

Just think of all the Christians who say that they "just know" God loves them, they "fell it".

human intuition is operating on similar knowledge and correlating it to your current situaiton.

I don't see how this is relevant anyway

@Sylvanas wait, do you mean Coke Cola?

oh, nvr mind

The point is about having to believe in some things rather than truly understanding that they work a given way.

no i don't

God created the earth in seven days

Do you actually understand how the computer you are using now works?

Every single component of this particular machine

?

yes

That is a ridiculous claim

no its not.
