    Human beings are sentimental creatures. Faith often conflicts with logic. As a person who doesn’t believe in any sky daddy, I find it kind of inspiring that someone who’s smart enough in math and science could still believe in their religion.

      Math and science don’t prove or disprove God. Some faiths conflict with logic but not all.

      As “a person who doesn’t believe in any sky daddy” I don’t understand why you would find inspiration in something directly contradictory to your own purported views

        Just because they don’t personally feel a way doesn’t mean they can’t appreciate those who do. I personally don’t want to study physics, but I can find Feynman’s pursuit of it inspiring. I don’t personally have the BFF relationship with my mom, but I find it great that some people do. Etc etc.
