Faith is an Illusion of Knowledge

Faith, by definition; is not knowing but acting as though you do. It’s an act. The believer is pretending to know something that is impossible to know.
Faith has blinded the believer to any evidence that will contradict their belief, whether it’s a contradiction in their own holy text or in the natural world.
The fact that they believe at all shows not the power of god but the power of indoctrination.
They are trapped in a prison they have made brick by brick by daily prayer.

Knowledge, the dethroner of gods

I would believe in god, if god were apparent. But She is not. To me, by calling the mystery of the universe god is the same as the ancients calling the wind god or the sun god. Knowledge dethroned those gods as knowledge will dethrone all gods. We must quit sucking the religious binky and grow up and deal with reality on its own terms.
