That would be like Ryft, a theist on these boards who is well studied and thinks about God all the time. My mother is a Christian because it feels good to her, like I eat meat because it tastes good. When I said she doesn't think about it, I meant her reasons for being a Christian. She prays all the time, goes to church, and weaves God into her everyday language.
I am comparing someone who doesn't think about why they do something but do it just because it feels right to them to another person who doesn't think about why they do something but do it just because it feels right to them.
Oh, I missed the part where you said you were talking about your mother and not Napoleon's.
So you wasted your time refuting what I said, because we were talking about a different person!
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
