You see, my parents are still pretty involved in the pentecostal church. They speak in tongues, they read their bibles, my mother even claims to have been divinely healed of back pain several years ago during a praise and worship service. It's a real pain to talk about my lack of beliefs. If there were not gods men would make them.
Religion is the science of the ignorant.
You'd think people'd wise up, but apparently not. It's too scary, and they'd have to admit they've been dopes all along. All is chaos. This fact is very frightening. So frightening that people have to invent an entire cosmology of 'faith' to help them feel anchored in this sea of uncertainty.
