    Pathetic is making excuses to believe in things that aren’t real because it makes you feel good.

    Unless you lack the mental capacity, for whatever reason, to understand fiction from reality. And then it’s just sad.

      Yes, and many, many people engage in self-congratulatory or self-consoling behavior and thought patterns instead of logical ones. Dismissing that tacitly does not change reality.

        None of those things are related to believing in false truths. Keep grasping.

          Are you literally braindead? This is about people believing things without evidence. If you’re going to claim religion or political campaigns don’t involve believing false truths, then you’re just proving how much you do not comprehend what I’m even saying…

            God is not a thing that is real. Have a good night.

              Yes, exactly why I put religion on the list of, “things people believe without evidence.” Are you forgetting what this conversation is even about? Pathetic.
