I understand your point. What my point is is that, whether we are aware of it or not, there are underlying and rational reasons for what we think. And where did the whole "no evidence that someone was there" come from? What about the can? Even without the can, our culture and our movies have so ingrained in us the eerieness and terror of a dark alleyway that we begin to feel it in the real world. I never said I felt no fear. I am only saying that, whether I am aware of it or not, I don't feel unwarented fear.

For the last time
Our culture hardly ingrains us with belief in God as we are discussing here. Have you listened to the most popular artists and seen the most popular songs and gone to the most popular movies? All either openly mock Christianity (well, Jehovah's witnesses) and are distinctly un-Christian/Jew/Muslim in their morality. Either way, I never called it hard evidence, at least I did not intend to.
I've outlined the evidence for why there might be someone in the dark alley if the can was there. And I've outilned why I might think (although less firmly) why I might think there was a man in a quiet, dark alley.
Nothing is warrented without evidence or reason, although the two go hand in hand. It is not an opinion, it is objective.
Are you reading my comments? You are asking the same question of "in the real world we don't act like this" and I've kept giving you an answer. It's not worth typing it anymore.
For the last time, and I won't reply to another comment like this, I HAVE GIVEN EVIDENCE FOR BEING AFRAID IN BOTH ALLEY-GORIES (you see what I did there?)

Re: For the last time
How? Where? Who? These are all important questions
