And why do we do stupid things? Is there no reason for that? Just being human? 

Also do you find faith stupid? If you do, isn't that a natural things for humans as you said?

It's more that, even if you got them to admit a logical contradiction on some point, their belief in God is more fundamental than that. Those capable of being persuaded to nonbelief already would have, or have social reason not to [surrounded by less than tolerant believers].

I think religious types dont follow logic.

They just follow their desires.

What's fundamental about it?

So a religious guy can't teach logic in school? D: 

The topic is religion, not teaching biology in school.

They dont follow logic as far as religion goes. They just follow their desires.

1. I'm no psychologist but I would assume it has something to do with humans not being perfect, being easily misguided by quests for sex, power, etc, never learning common sense, due to bad parenting, etc. Plus, some people are just born stupid, seriously. 

2. Who said faith was stupid? You? 

You guys should stop taking that faith thing so literally. Both sides. Religion simply isn't about logic, historical facts or science. Religious people should stop pretending (or thinking) religion "proves" anything - if Jesus (or Buddha for that matter) heard you saying that he'd slap you in the face (and for Buddha that'd be pretty bad!). This is simply not what religion is about and if you think that you got it all wrong - in this case you may think you are a christian or whatever but you are really not. At the same time atheists should stop reducing religion to being something nonfactual or imperfect. Faith can't be explained by logic or proven scientifically. It's imperfect and "illogical" by nature. If you could prove god's existence the whole thing would fall apart. The scientific method can't be applied to everything - it makes you miss out on a lot of stuff if you use it that way.

Guess most people won't get this post (though most will *think* they got it) but with all these discussions that totally miss the goal from both sides I might as well post my stuff too.

I'm actually not trying to persuade anyone. I was just wondering if people thought the argument was sound.

Besides, I can guarantee that at least one or two people will come to try to argue against it using logic.

They want to believe in God more strongly than they believe in any single thing about him. The idea that everything has meaning, that you are important, that someone cares about you, and that you'll go somewhere you deserve after death. It comes from the natural human faculty to assign purpose to everything.
