We don't think you're crazy, we just hate having other people's beliefs crammed down our throat all the time. If you believe in something, that's fine, I don't wanna hear about it, and there's nothing wrong with the fact that I don't wanna hear in it. I have my own beliefs, I don't bother you with them.

definitely not. the reason why some of these superstions seems to be true is because people believe on it. when people start to believe on something, they actually based their actions and act according to what they believe unconciously. and when something happened according to the superstition, they usually explain things the way they believe on it.

for some reason society has taught us to believe it. There are alot of smart people out there that dont believe everything they hear, but I think everyone should be smart enough to listen to the facts they hear and either look it up somewhere else to find if it is a fact, or use common sense.

This is real and the fact is you don't have any evidence to think otherwise than what was fed to us by so called thinkers who seek to explain the sinful reality we live in. Jesus came to this reality to save us and we should believe that and accept it or else you will have to excuse to say why you didn't believe in the reality that you knew and had the facts about.

You are not crazy. Therapy won't help. You know what your doing why you do it is because you love to test people and see how much they will believe! It's fun! But on the other hand you may just be looking for attention all I really know is I make up completly rediculous stories and people believe them! It cracks me up! Then I come clean and tell the truth and laugh at them for believing me! But if you really want to justify your problem just remind yourself that It's not a lie if you believe it!

Because they usually believe what they do for personal reasons and  have a different moral or value stance than you. They don't just believe what is spoon fed to them.

I agree, I think it is because they're basically afraid. They need to believe that what ever happens is for a reason nothings random. Many of them couldn't exist without believing that. They have to believe there is an after life and a god. \nSo, anyone who doesn't think their way is a threat to their belief. Then there is the fact there are some many different groups that think different from each other then add us the none believers in, they have to question why they believe and we don't.\nDo we ever try to convince them they are wrong? No we don't care. That is my take.

You are right. Inspite of the proofs--order in the universe, design in every living or non living things--some people choose not to believe. I really don't understand why. But I can only guess. Here are probable reasons:\n\n1. They were brainwashed into believing that big-bang theory. Just like putting metals into one big drum blowing them up with dynamite and presto you have a functioning car.\n\n2. These people just don't want to be governed by rules that don't fit their life styles.\n\n3. They just want to be different than the rest.\n\n   The Bible however gives us a perspective of their state of mind. "They say they are wise, but they are fools... Because those people refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted minds..." (Romans 1:22,28, Today's English Version )

I think a lot of people believe what they say so strongly that they think they're saying what they believe, when really they're saying what others believe and what they in turn have internalized, for lack of a better word.  But I do agree with the answerer who said that all knowledge is based on authority; it's impossible to avoid that completely.  We are immensely affected by what we're born in to.  There's no getting around that.  I read a book last year (The Immoralist, by André Gide) that dealt with that concept a bit, and the author believed it necessary to completely kill oneself (not physically, of course) to find the blank parchment underneath; the original part of oneself that hadn't been tainted by society and family, and the one that could still be imprinted with truly personal and genuine beliefs.\n\nThat's a utopian ideal, at best.  To expect people to shed all that they know in the hopes of embracing something completely foreign, which may supposedly be more real and appropriate for them is really excessive.  Even if people wanted to do that, it's still an enormous task to undertake.  So to some extent, everybody repeats a lot of hearsay, if you will, in the guise of true, personal beliefs.  Some people are more "sheltered" than others and less aware of the extent to which their beliefs have been swayed and shaped by others, and some people have broken out of their molds in a manner that would have made Gide himself proud.\n\nPersonally, I think I say what I believe a good amount of the time.  I still struggle with a lot that I've learned growing up; things that I see still influencing my life even after I've chosen other paths.  An unavoidable fact of life, I suppose.  But I have learned to look outside of the box I was born in to, and also to step outside that box and look at it from a different perspective.  That helps a lot.

We don't HAVE to be crazy..it just happens that lifes little things make us that way at times. ie: kids, neighbors, family, Boyfriends, husbands, lack of sleep, lack of energy, respect from all of the above,  and lets not forget that CRAZY LIL THING called LOVE....

Its because we're dumb, and we're dumb because we don't understand crazy people. ^.^  Mostly, its better to not try and understand them.  Like why they say no when they really mean yes, or why they ask stupid questions that they don't want answered in the first place.  Just go with the flow!

People harden their hearts to God...they choose not to believe because if He exists they have to make a decision. It is much easier to call Christians crazy.

Heh, love how you end you "why can't people get it" question by stating you just don't get it.\n\nJust because you believe something should be a certain way doesn't mean others will feel the same way.  If they believe opposite enough it doesn't matter how articulate you are because they just won't care.  Not everyone will agree and not everyone will respond intelligently, this is just a simple fact of life.

We have reached the point in this country where we think that those who do not agree with us are insane.  Many people have their pet notions and cling to them despite evidence to the contrary.  In fact they shun and certainly do not seek any evidence that may disturb their well entrenched views.  We see this on television, where bias (and laziness) has virtually destroyed the media as effective sources of useful material.  Please don't make the mistake of thinking someone with a contrary idea is insane, but by reason and thoughtful (informed) argument, seek to change their mind.  The problem is, that too many minds are closed.  \n\nEven though I suggest reasonableness, I too am guilty of a bias against George W. Bush.  He certainly has not shown himself to be the least bit competent, has ruined for the USA what little world-wide good will remained before he came to power, and has made decisions leading to the deaths of many thousands.  \n\nWhile it is true that 9/11 was a tragic loss of life that led to a war, every day, in these United Sates, more than 1000 people die from smoking related disease caused by products produced in the USA.  You don't see the heads of these corporations as Bin Ladens, they are captains of industry and campaign contributers.  In my view their factories should be emptied of people and carpet bombed. It may sound insane to you, but it certainly makes more sense than having our precious family members killed so that the US military industrial complex can have an excuse to sell replacement weapons to our government instead of say providing health insurance.

what they don't understand is that it's their truth not yours and not mine.\n\nsome people can only see their own version of things.  it doesn't matter that there were other truths long before theirs.\nmost will not accept that you or i or anyone else has a right to believe what we want.
