A faith privately and strongly held, that leads them to do the right thing, no matter what the rest of the fakers are doing at any given moment. Sure, I still think that their faith is petty and fundamentally evil, but they understand that and don't begrudge me for it (that's the litmus test, for me - that they can understand even if they don't agree). If this were the norm, rather than an educated rarity, I doubt we'd find as much reason to be rid of them. They'd be the divine equivalent of tea leaf readers. Harmless, quaint, helpful, and genuinely decent.
What we get here, though, is an endless parade of liars for christ.
Still doesn't mean they aren't holding open the door for irrationality. Ticking time bombs one and all. Fuck 'em.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
