Is Faith a Cognitive Error?

55. Yes, it's the religion group, but all that means is you never went far down that road.

Your early learning was about science and reason I presume. You accepted and internalized those lessons. I assume not blindly, since science doesn't teach blind acceptance. So your first decisions sent you in a totally different direction, you decided for science before even considering religion.

If you were to decide to go down the religious path, you wouldn't just suddenly decide the Bible is true, you'd first have to decide what you already think is inadequate. There's no shortage of people asking you to do exactly that, even here in this group. Each time, your answer is the same -no thanks. You could decide to move yourself even further away from the religious path (not that you aren't already very far away). You could leave this group, then you wouldn't even have to think about why your scientific atheism isn't a faith.
