Right, uh huh good. You 100% fully believe in something that has no way of being backed up at all. Joseph Smith had golden tablets that nobody else but his close friends saw, but its ok not to show anybody else. Infact, if you lived back then and someone said that Joseph had these golden tablets from the supernatural, you would just believe it. I mean, who questions things? Who in their right mind would question the validity of a claim.
I mean it would be like questioning the little boy knocking on your door asking for money. You don't ask any questions, you just believe him and give him your money. Or like when a car salesman says this car has low mileage or it has no problems, you just believe him and then go buy the car.
Kakumei, you don't live your life according to this type of philosophy, do you?

second, why is it so outlandish to believe this stuff, and not to believe that we are just here to exist for a little while by some random chance with nothing in the world to really know or work for?

No. You can't act like it is absurd or ridiculous that reality can operate by itself unaided by any magical beings. We have information accumulated over thousands of years about how planets work, how they are formed. Information about how a plant grows, what genes are, what cells are and how they reproduce. Human beings have senses, it just so happens these senses can comprehend reality. The only thing that humans have to do is just watch reality, and learn from it. The thing is, when I watch reality ghosts, demons, geneies, and angels don't fly around and interact with me or society.
And if you think it is so ridiculous then perhaps you should go and investigate the ridiculous explanation instead of just using one book poorly written by an uneducated hoaxer to explain reality.
Just because you can't understand Central limit theorm, does not give you the excuse to study preschool philosophy on how reality operates.
You tell a baby that magic formed the earth, then when they are older and can critically think you tell them what the magic is made of --- numbers, molecules, atoms..
You, my friend, are stuck in preschool.
