Why believe in woo?

       To believe in the supernatural without benefit of evidence as the previous article suggests means to entertain wishful thinking as true just as Blaise Pascal does with his Wager, William James with his will to believe and Soren Kierkegaard with his leap of faith.

        The Wager fails, because of the different faiths, and more importantly,because when the race takes place and horse Faith doesn't appear, then horse Reason wins by default. Faith begs the question and is just another argument from ignorance.
         James, no  real believer himself, just wanting to believe to make happy, betrays reason and - humanity with his plea for woo. Ti's naturalism that is live, coerced by empirical facts and momentous as it makes for that more abundant life realistically.
         Kierkegaard's knight of faith is the night of unreason: it is for those who whine that reality is so unfair.

         Faith is built on the sands of wishful thinking, whilst naturalism is built on the hard rock of reality.

           Reality beckons, whilst the woo of religion has no place in a rational world!
