Iv'e been trying in a course of a forum discussion with Vlad, to reason with him and have tried to work my way through the usual Vladobable nonsense and a piece of Vlad's, I nearly wrote logic, post, it made me think, when the authorities pick people for jury service, technically perhaps holding a religious belief of one kind or another should disqualify them from jury service.
The reasoning behind my thinking on this, is that all of these religionists whatever religion they believe in, they tend to believe in things without sufficient evidence to do so, therefore having this tendency perhaps it should disqualify them from jury service because of this disability of not being able to recognise evidence when they see it or when it's not there.
I'm ready to be shot down in flames, if necessary, or find some support but believing things without evidence is a bit of a bummer and doesn't exactly fill people with confidence.
Could be an interesting thread, who knows?

The problem is that irrationality in one area is no guarantee of irrationality in other areas. Look at Vlad's posts on Brexit. Whether you agree with him about Brexit or not, they do not exhibit the same level of obfuscation and other nonsense that you see from him in respect of religion.
Similarly, on this board, my posts always exemplify the highest standards of rationality and evidence based reasoning but you don't know that I would be able to bring my considerable intellect to bear in a jury room situation with eleven other real people. I'm humble enough to admit that.
