Autodidact
Intentionally Blank
I would like you to consider the possibility that the reasons it comports with your intuition should be a bit suspicious. Is it a coincidence that what most people find comports with their intuition just happens to match up with what most of the people around them believe?
No, of course not. What difference does that make?
Because, obviously, it indicates that the reason it "makes sense" or satisfies your intuition or common sense is not a reflection of its truth, but of your conditioning. As I said, had you been raised in Saudi Arabia, and used this same method of intuition, Islam would make sense to you. It wouldn't make sense to me, because of the lack of evidence. Common sense and intuition are not good guides to truth. Are you at all familiar with the research done in the last 30 years about how our brains tend to fool us, common errors in thinking? For example, human beings think in terms of stories and pay more attention to stories than to statistics that actually contain more accurate information. Human beings tend to think in terms of causation and purposeful agents, even when what is really going on is plain old randomness.
