If you would like to take this opportunity to enlighten me and other readers on a certain point, that would be great, but if not, please don't feel you have to respond.
By favoring religious convictions, it would seem to me that you're a proponent of what I would call "magical thinking" -- that is to say, you believe and act on concepts that you have no objectively understandable reason to consider true.
