I'm no stranger to religious doctrine or practice. I think I've covered that one. I am not a scientist. I am a pornographer. I do think that most religious people are fuzzy thinkers, but I think that most people are fuzzy thinkers.
Analytic thought is hard.
Our brains aren't well suited to it. Analogies, metaphors, and allagories suite our kludgy brains much better than mathematical or sylogistic thinking. I don't recall anyone saying that religious people are stupid by defintion or even on average. Science can tell us how, it cannot tell us why. This is what I mean.
