Re: Really, honestly, how can you believe that old book???
The situation is even "worse" than you describe. Some of the believers not only accept on faith the dogma of a revealed religion, for which there is no evidence, but further reject much of science, for which there is.
Observe the absurd, tortuous rationalizations many of these believers put forth to maintain their delusion. If they simply admitted they have faith, but accepted the findings of science commensurate with the evidence, I would have no quarrel with them.
Dr. Kenneth Miller, for example, is a religious person I can respect, even though I don't share his faith.
