The amount of cognitive dissonance required to believe oneself Christian, yet not believe the things which make a Christian a Christian, is scary.

It's like standing inside the fence next to them big-ass power transformers. All your hair is standing on end, and one false move and there'll be a whole mess of man-made lightning, and a little mess of you.

I can readily picture Grene in a belltower, squeezing off bursts on a semi-automatic rifle at a bunch of shit scared college students.

“Those who can believe absurdities can be made to commit atrocities.” — borrowing from Voltaire (property is theft!)

“No single raindrop believes it is responsible for the flood.”

“If we submit everything to reason, our religion will have no mysterious and supernatural element. If we offend the principles of reason, our religion will be absurd and ridiculous.”
— Blaise Pascal, Pensees

“If I saw no signs of a divinity, I would fix myself in denial. If I saw everywhere the marks of a Creator, I would repose peacefully in faith. But seeing too much to deny Him, and too little to assure me, I am in a pitiful state...”
— Blaise Pascal, Pensees
