RE: So much for that...

Comment comment by scottb on 11 January 2008

This isn't a point about the existence of any gods. The one comment I made on this page is about the stupidity of people who believe their gods support their sports teams.

However, I still stick with my statement that the bonehead who was so convinced that his god was helping his team win the series should have had his faith shattered by their utter failure in the actual event. Given the tenor of his beliefs, the overwhelming evidence that he was so completely wrong ought to have changed his mind.

The fact that it almost certainly didn't is indicative of the willingness of the religious mind to ignore any evidence that contradicts it's prejudices.

So, no - it doesn't further establish my argument that gods don't exist, it does further establish my argument that religious people are irrational.
