Every day, as a computer programmer, I work with Hindus from India. Despite their education and intelligence, they do not consider themselves too good to give their gods absolute devotion. Let us direct our eyes to the practical applications of technology, and avert our eyes from the scandalous stuff that undermines the fabric of social faith and human dignity. Note that the writer has no doubt whatsoever theabout the non-existence of Hindu gods, and obviously accepts the existence of his personal god. Much more accurately, considering the rest of your posting, I would define it as a fear response.
All scientific evidence is to the contrary.
Nevertheless, I choose to believe it anyway. Because I believe that willful disbelief is a grounds for damnation. I believe, even though I know I will never understand. You have chosen to conduct your life from a condition of abject fear of damnation, which I find totally unacceptable for myself. I'll have no part of that.
