He will never help you when you are ill. He will never be your wingman in battle. Never protect you from harm.
That’s the problem with believing in the unfalsifiable: You could be wrong and you’d never find out.
To me, personally, that is religion's greatest marketing strength. It's their ultimate product which they are selling to you.
One which you yourself as a customer cannot even prove you haven't received!!!
Needing blind faith to believe in the absurd or extraordinary isn't just recommended, it's mandatory!
It would be nice if "faith" were all it took. I wouldn't have had Ann McCarthy's older brother threaten to beat the shit out of me after church when I tried to hit on her during church. I would have married her because I wanted her to love me REALLY BAD.
Dear God, "I want Ann to love me, get her to love me."
Nope, doesn't work like that.
If "faith" were all it took, then she still loves me even though we graduated in 1985 and I just don't know it.
I may have pined after that utopia in my youth, but I am damned glad I don't chase them now. Boy was I young, dumb and full of cum back then.
