Somebody, after reading one of my posts on this blog asked me what I believe in. My immediate response was that I believe in nothing that has no clear logical explanation. However, after a little consideration, I'll have to edit that.


You see, we all evolve and change. I didn't believe in love until I met my wife and love is, after all a much more spiritual state than it is logical.


When a baby dies, the parents are massively upset about it, but logically, there's usually a good chance that they can have another one in 9 months, so where's the foul? Of course it doesn't work like that. This is an emotional response to a human tragedy.


Most people who believe in anything spiritual don't really believe deeply, but prefer to have an open mind about it. this usually travels down the line of "Well, so many people believe in it, there must be some truth to it". This is obviously nonsensical, but adequately deals with the way most people feel about issues that don't directly concern them.


A much more worrying group are those who actually put time and energy into rationalising their belief in some of these preposterous ideas. Many such people have experienced some kind of personal tragedy or trauma which has either directly or indirectly lead them along an obscure path to an irrational conclusion. Once this point is reached it is far simpler, or more satisfying, to attempt to rationalise the idea than to admit that it is patently ridiculous.
Here are some examples of sites that seem to me to be dedicated to the ludicrous:
