There's no shortage of gullible people who seek comfort and delusion over reason and hard evidence in this stupid violent world. They're mass-producing themselves as we speak.

We have science, its not perfect, it doesn't have all the answers, its sometimes a necessary but not sufficient method of convincing them otherwise, nevertheless it is the one-eyed man in this here kingdom of the blind.

Have you ever been a Christian? Realising Jesus wasn't even close to being the Messiah doesn't just make you doubt. It shatters ANY possibility of ever believing again. I've had my doubts here and there before but this makes your faith-based framework come crashing down to earth.

Yeah the only thing that can shatter faith is honesty, intellectual courage, and knowledge. Science has certainly embodied all three during its time on the planet. So I will say the spirit of science shatters faith. Not as a new belief system but instead a method which excludes the ability to hold in ones head an idea unsupported by evidence and reason.
