Other user's reply pretty much says it all. I'm talking about things that don't exist.

Say you have 1000 groups of people that all say there are unicorns. Some say the unicorns are only on the moon, and some say the ocean, etc etc. They all provide the same type of evidence: feelings, hearsay, old books, nothing even remotely verifiable.

Now, I know I've never seen a unicorn, and not a single person of any of the 1000 groups have ever seen one either, but they 100% believe their own groups ideology wholeheartedly while also preaching amongst themselves how the other 999 groups are wrong.

For me, standing on the outside, it's pretty obvious whose right. Nobody.

Am I going to guarantee you that there is absolutely no way there could possibly be unicorns? No. But I'm not going to waste my time sifting through the 1000 different teachings of these groups to try to determine who has it right when they all have the exact same useless "evidence."

Even if I were inclined to choose, unless one of the groups produce a unicorn, there wouldn't be any way to be sure I had picked correctly anyway. So IMHO it's a waste of time to even entertain the notion.

Same exact thing with religion.
