Why do Christians get so indignant when people diebelieve in their god?

[Everard]

Meh... they join dots differently to us...

“I’ve discovered that it all boils down to brain wiring:
Your brain is wired to worship magic or it isn’t.
Either it’s wired to utilize logic or it isn’t.
Either it’s analytical of myths or it isn’t.”


Bertrand Russell: There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths.
Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting.
But he dares not face this thought!
Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed.
