I think that's why most theists are afraid to give up their god belief, because believing that there's an all-powerful being who created the entire universe just for us and protects us with an invisible security blanket is too important to them to give up. And yet, with or without a god we still die from natural disasters and other calamities every year.

Do you think that's why a lot of clergy who lose their faith stay in the job?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
