Do you also love the Aspies who don't agree with your POV?
Just wondering.
There are neurotypicals who love logic.
Do you love logic loving NTs too?

Because that got me thinking, isn't christianity kind of based on magical thinking? With all the healing by faith sort of ideas? How do you feel about those?

Nice try. No, I'm not. Go take your religious debates somewhere else, and try google the next time you want to be a smart alec. It's an expression, a very common expression, that means "does anyone agree?"
Ouch. Not sure what you think I was trying, I'm not into religious debates as a rule. And I know what the term means, I understood your initial post, but the word itself and Raleigh's comment started a train of thought - I was wondering how you would reconcile your viewpoint on magical thinking with religious belief, if you were religious. But you're not, so it's a moot point. I was just interested to know.
You seem quite passionate in your dislike of magical thinking. I'm OK with it, generally speaking, unless it's causing harm. It does annoy the heck out of me if important decisions are being made based on someone's idea of what life ought to be like, and not the facts. But I'd better not get into a political debate, either
