People don't just believe what they like; they believe what they perceive as being the truth. If I caught my spouse in bed with another man I'd like to believe they were just really tired but my common sense would prevent me from believing that. I'd like to believe in heaven but don't because there's no evidence for it and it's obviously just wishful thinking. I'd like to believe in unicorns etc.etc.etc


Good for you.
I know the feeling, it can be difficult to see people blinded by their beliefs and desire to believe absurd things despite all evidence to the contrary. But as long as they aren't harming anyone, best just leave them be, yes?


absolutely, beautifully put.
