Faith is a mental illness. There is no cure. The brain damage can't be fixed.

If an idea requires faith then it's bullshit and it should be thrown out.

Examples:

The Easter Bunny.

The magical resurrection of the Magic Jeebus Man.

The magic god fairy.

A magical 2nd life in a magical paradise for dead cowards.

"Faith, no one word personifies the absolute worst and most wicked properties of religion better than that. Faith is mind-rot. It’s the poison that destroys critical thinking, undermines evidence, and leads people into lives dedicated to absurdity. It’s a parasite regarded as a virtue."
-- PZ Myers, University of Minnesota biologist

"Religion is the antithesis of science, an anesthetic for the mind that disables critical thought and encourages the acceptance of inanity as fact, and wishful thinking as evidence."
-- PZ Myers
