How can my belief be so strong?

[Esquilax]

I find it kinda hilarious how a bunch of rational types get all kinds of irrational over the concept of faith.

I think that mostly comes down to how often we're accused of having faith, and yet it's a pejorative term when applied to us alone. It'd be like if you'd been dogged by accusations that you had a fetish for sheep all your life; in time, you might get pretty rabid at the slightest intimation.
