Eliezer said: "Even the surveys are comparing the average religious person to the average atheist, not the most advanced theologians to the most advanced rationalists."
Very true. Wouldn't it be a kicker if that was done and we found out that the most advanced theologians ARE the most advanced rationalists? I suspect the chances of something like this being true are higher than most of us think.
I think this comparison is a bit unfair. Do you really think the rationality of the average mental patient is remotely comparable to that of the average theologian?
No, but the difference between a statement that's 99% silly and a statement that's 99.9% silly is only a negligible .9 silly points.
