Emotions can be explained by Neurobiological theories, Cognitive theories, etc.
So we have elaborate theories to explain emotions, same as we have theories to why God exists.

If we are okay to blindly believe in emotions because certain scientists (the new priests) say so and we feel them though we can't touch them, and because everyone around the world decided that we must believe in emotions, why are we not ok to blindly believe in other things on more or less the same basis?

I have never seen Trequartista's brain for example, how do I know Trequartista has a brain? Because science and everyone else says so? That's blind faith.

Scientists are the new priests??

:lol:

I don't blindly believe in emotions as they can be explained by theories which are supported by evidence, whereas theories of the supernatural are not.

So can belief in God
Belief in god causes emotional reactions yes but trying to compare belief in emotions (observed and well documented chemical reactions) to belief in god is stupid. It's really stupid.
