Pot, meet kettle.

This article resonated with me very strongly, since I lived it. It seems to have struck a nerve for you too - maybe you're on the other side of the devout following?

Edit: I'm not claiming an emotional response to it, just that I can vouch for the validity of it in my case. Anecdotal evidence, but it's still a data point.

"X appeals to me emotionally because it conforms to and provides a pat explanation for my personal experience" does not imply "X is true".

In fact, disconnecting those two concepts is an essential step to beginning to approach the world scientifically.


You are incorrect. The article did not "strike a nerve" or otherwise provoke a strong emotional reaction in me. You may wish to stop and consider why you assumed that.
