Why do people believe unbelievable deities?

Freiheit · 2010-04-02 20:16:32

such as the idea that God sends prophets, sacrifices his son, really care's how people behave,none of which to an informed mind make any sense, yet billions world wide believe? why? People today who say that God speaks to them are usually considered mentally ill.... .

Actually bought the book 'Conceiving God' by David Lewis-Williams on this topic. Very informative, emphasises the political motivation behind much religion, and the conflict between religion and science and Philisophy where questioning was a cornerstone. Expensive at E22.95 but would definitely recommend it.
