Pity from the religious, nonsense... It is more like disgust, otherwise
they would not yell. Pity is also a two way street. How can one believe in
something that cannot be seen, felt, heard and no physical evidence? The
Bible was written by Man not a God or inspired by a non existent God.

They believe because they want to part of a family that also believes. Born
in the US more likely to be Christian, Born in Middle East more likely to
be Muslim, Born in India more likely to be Hindu... The list goes on. The
desire to belong out weighs reason. Better to believe in fantasy and be
happy than accept reality and be alone... That is why people believe, like
mob mentality.
