What I wrote somewhere else. It's about faith.

Faith is an excuse to believe in any bullshit that makes cowards feel good. Faith is a mental illness.

One of my favorite quotes:

"Faith is by definition belief without evidence – it’s pulling things out of your ass; it’s clinging to things that you might well know are faintly ridiculous; it’s putting up barriers to honest enquiry; it can be used as an impediment to curiosity and intellect, and it is simply the most ridiculous method of discovering or knowing anything about reality. It’s not a virtue – and it shouldn’t be a virtue in wider society any more than it would be in a court of law."
