Does a Belief in a Deity show weakness?
@ 2009-07-20 – 13:03:42
Belief in a God or the supernatural is, nowadays often attributed to one's mind labouring under a delusion, a flight of fancy, mental trickery or simple indoctrination by external, human powers.
If this is the case, does that mean that 'believers' have a weakness that allows them to fall into this trap? Contemporary studies attempt to find the part of the brain that gives people a pre-disposition to belief, while Dawkin's famously calls it a 'Delusion'. Meanwhile many MANY normal people imply that believers are, to put it succinctly - stupid.
Thoughts?
