They live in constant fear of the powers they call upon. If you depend upon trinkets such as crosses to protect you, you do not have any real power. To think that a stupid piece of metal or glass is going to protect you from the devil you believe in is absurd. The lust for blood is evil. It has led to horrible crimes.
Religious belief is filthy and gross beyond words and involves child abuse, bestiality, sodomy, etc.
You will never have a normal satisfying free life once you debase yourself in religious belief. Prayer is for losers. The greatest ministers always end up broke, alone, and miserable. Check to see what happend to people like Jimmy Swaggart. They were all losers.
