Spit it out, GB, this isn't Posers and Puzzles.
Most of the folks here have a marked inability to use their imaginations.
Edit: it is in the nature of chess players to entertain the alternatives to any proposal.

Yes.... They are called theists.
I thought we were the ones without logic?
I'm thinking that would make you guys the ones with no imaginations.
What's that? You're the ones with logic and imagination and we have neither?
Yeah, keep going. I suppose you also have all the good looks, all the money, all the other desired characteristics and we have none of it. Sure, whatever.

Actually what I was getting at was that typically religious belief (and superstition generally)
is generally (although obviously not exclusively) due to a lack of imagination and/or thought.
(or simply a lack of applied imagination or thought)
As has been pointed out the OP was showing a significant lack of imagination in its statement
that there was ONLY one thing in common with 25 of the first page threads when anyone with
any imagination or thought could easily spot many commonalities.
I pointed out a couple, others pointed out more, and that was without even trying.
It takes a severe lack of imagination to spot what you think is a pattern and then just stop
assuming that that pattern is the only possible one.
Which is pretty much exactly what you have to do to be a theist.
You have to look at the world and think that there is only one possible explanation for it without
even bothering to try to think of any others.
Science, skepticism, and rationality, requires imagination.
Blind faith doesn't.

Two helpful hints: 1) Thread topic sentence is [b]factual. 2) The other five threads
also have one and only one thing in common and it's the same thing.[/b]
RHP Spirituality Forum commonality is the wide ranging diversity of thread topics...
unlike the General Forum which consistently exhibits sameness and uniformity.
