Christians mistakenly praying to bones of beasts

[Zenith]

So I guess when we're crushing people's dreams we need to be getting them to focus on exactly what these emotional reasons are, and get them to admit to them rather than to hide behind absurd notions like faith and crappy cosmological arguments. If they have any interest in truth, it's analyzing these emotions that will get them there.

I think the answer is simple, but the analyzing is difficult: The emotions derive from thoughts, impressions, beliefs, etc. Those emotions make a great deal of difference between a man who opens a book to see what's written within it, and someone who opens it with the conviction that it's the HOLY word of the All-Powerful, All-Knowing God that He wrote specifically for people like himself. For those who worship decayed limbs, the same applies. How can you make someone understand that these "special" emotions he is feeling are merely the products of his own thoughts and beliefs?

Something that might be of use, but not too much, is for that religious man to see others, of other different religion, confessing how special they felt and so on. But that will not help much, cause you'll get answers like "But they're wrong and we're right, that's the difference!"

How can we force people to do that while making it look like we're helping? Hmm...

Basically, if you actually convince someone to forsake his faith, then I believe that is indeed helping. However, forcibly administering medicine to someone you call ill... he might not see it the same way.
