I'm always stunned by what seems like a perfectly ordinary, and reasonably intelligent human actually professing honest belief in religious bullshit. I can understand that they study religious texts because they're interesting, just like all ancient writing is interesting. However, that they actually believe the crap they read, that the history really happened, and that there is actually some being in the atmosphere around us that is concerned that their kid wins a race, or that dishes out cancer to someone to "teach" them something. I can't get my head around that. I can understand my dog thinking I'm an amazing pack leader because I go away from the car and come back with wonderful food for him to eat, but I'm positive he doesn't lie awake at night wishing that I'd take away the restrictions that prevent him from killing guinea fowl. To me, that's what praying to the ceiling looks like.
