Well, what Mockingbird saidbut I've been told by many women that I'm too 'reserved', to employ a euphemism.
And I just don't understand how there's any value in saying 'this is impossible and there's no proof for it, yet I believe it anyway'.

How is it impossible?Improbable, certainly. But then so is winning the lottery.
I'm not trying to fight with you. I'm genuinely interested, although I didn't appreciate the sexism.
Also, there may be no 'value' in it to you, but then is that a viable excuse to throw around insults?

Not trying to be sexistNone of my male friends have ever told me that I'm too emotionally reserved...even when I fail to muster a response to, say, an England penalty shoot-out. It's only the women in my life who seem to have a problem with it. Empirical evidence.
And I'm not trying to pick a fight, and I'm not trying to throw around insults, but to me insanity is characterised by believing impossible things to be true. I wouldn't insult you by saying "well, I think most people who have faith are insane but you're special", that would be dishonest. This is what I think. You asked, I'll tell you. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but that's the way I roll. I do have friends who have faith and they know full well my feelings on the subject. Generally we talk about something else.
