My dad is an alcoholic and became religious when he started going to AA, and it apparently helped him stop drinking, so I can't deny that it does sometimes seem to help the addict stop, for some reason. I don't have a hard time believing that it might be possible to "pray" and trick your mind in order to get the addiction-kicking benefit of being religious while actually remaining an atheist. Sure, why not. So I was going to let this pass without comment, until this sentence:
Which, frankly, kind of makes me wonder if you are full of shit.
edit:
How is the Earth's thermal zone strange, and how are the thermodynamics atypical here?
How are we an organism that "resonates with synchronicity?" What does that mean?
We're clearly the most intelligent animals on this planet. How smart do we have to be before we're no longer dumb animals, in your eyes?

The atheist who denies the magic of synchronicity is somewhat in the same boat. He thinks that our minds are all about computational reason and hence he too has a meta-natural view of what is going on.

1. This dust ball Earth is in a strange thermal zone that allows for a certain kind of thermodynamics not typical out there in the stars.
2. We are a kind of thing, an organism, that resonates with synchronicity.
3. We are really fucking dumb animals and if we do not work hard to remedy that we can believe in all kinds of garbage. I don't judge.
