I've always thought that the presence of various emotions and preferences should be considered facts,
So should "I'd be happier if there were a God" be considered a fact, and if so, shouldn't any decisions based on that be considered logical? In which case, someone who attends church every Sunday, who gives money to the Church, who reads religious literature and prays regularly: These are reasonable decisions for this person, correct? If so, on what grounds would you challenge a theist, as you have done repeatedly in the past?
