I wish I had the ability to trick myself into believing something like this. But sadly enough, I don't.

Ok, first of all, they are not tricking themselves. And second of all, you need to live off more years before judging people who have more knowledge than you. I'm not saying you are dumb or anything, I'm just pointing out that you haven't understood the world yet.

I understand you're new here right now, so I won't try to break your balls or anything. You seem pretty cool so far.
You don't need to be a wise old hermit to understand why the average person believes in stuff.

Good job gin. You saved me about 30 min worth of bullblam typing. I point out one simple religious flaw, come back the next day and, BAM! Religious argument.
I know a lot of people already know this, just out to remind people:
It all comes down to this: People's primary concern is not what is correct or incorrect. Their primary concern is to be happy in some way. And religion is a great way to be happy for some people. Don't try to take their happiness away. Cause I actually admire, and envy them. I wish I had the ability to trick myself into believing something like this. But sadly enough, I don't.

Since you have the ability into tricking yourself into thinking the way you do know, I don't see why you would have a problem tricking yourself into thinking the other way.

You don't have to trick yourself, this is the reason organized religions (such as Shiite islam, or Catholic christian) exist. The higher-ups tell you what to believe.

Yeah.. you have other people tricking you. But those people are tricking themselves into believing this.
