I hate to have to point this out, but:  I DID NOT WRITE THIS ESSAY.  I'm just READING IT ALOUD.

This essay came to my attention recently, and it's an excellent exercise for a skeptic or atheist to experience this feeling of loss of innocence and the painful feelings it summons.  See it through to the end before posting, please.
