Omfg, my dude. I get your point, everybody does, i mean, look at the sub name... But calling people mentally sick just because they can't resist our inner cope machanism, aka magical thinking, which was developed and stayed there since before the civilisation, is like calling people with allergies "subhuman", or people who can't resist the urge to sleep at night *weak".

Calling it mental illness isn't just a stretch it's just fuckin wrong my dude. I get what you're saying but bro, that's just how humans work.

For the vast majority of people, belief in science isn't fundamentally different than belief in religion. Very few people actually know. The rest of us are taking it on faith that the scientific method is working. Even when it isn't (that's a fascinating story, btw, a lot of scientists confirmed findings before it was ultimately debunked.)

Taking things on faith is part of why we work as a species, knowing a thing to be true without ever seeing it is critical to a functioning culture.

The fact that that well has been poisoned with bullshit is a natural consequence.

Yeah they will say DOG made all that lead when It created the universe four thousand years ago. No amount of evidence can convince someone who doesn't understand what evidence is.

God made it that way.

Well god must have made you with brain damage.

I don't have brain damage!

Don't deny the miracle of life God gave you, he gave you brain damage for a reason! Just because you don't know his plan doesn't mean your brain damage doesn't exist... Have faith.

🙏
