Ya but this isn't anything we didn't already know.

Those of us who accept critical thinking and reasoning as normal traits, don't have to think harder to reject lies because we already know what to look for based on experience. Religious people are not so fortunate. They are suckers at the ready.

I really need to start my own cult.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
