    Beat me to it. I think most serious Christians of any denomination believe that it basically doesn’t make sense and that you need to make a leap of faith in order to believe. God is like a dude and the rest of us are like insects, so how are we supposed to understand what he’s up to? He works in mysterious ways. Anyway, it’s a good thing none of this mystical nonsense influenced mainstream economic theory, swapping out “god” for “the market.” I mean, that would be ridiculous. That would mean that the people who consider themselves rational scientific atheist/agnostics are actually religious nutjobs who go way beyond those videos you might have seen of people writhing on the floor with gigantic snakes while babbling in tongues.

      Protestantism, and specifically Calvinism, were a mistake. cringe

        Protestantism is the only world religion I’m aware of which states explicitly that good works aren’t required for a reward in the afterlife. All you need to do is believe, and then hope for the best.
