to believe in invisible supernatural and magical beings like god/s and Jesus and angels and devils, etc. who control things on this one little planet amongst trillions and who were made up by goatherders who didn't know the Earth orbits the sun. The universe is 14 billion years old, but Jesus only came along a couple thousand years ago? And out of all the billions of life forms in the universe, the most important one is a recently evolved species of baldish great ape? How do people convince themselves that this shit is actually real, but stories about Thor or Zeus or Isis are not---see those are just mythologies! Their beliefs are not mythologies and totally make sense! Like Jesus is his own father and, BTW, there's also a ghost in the menage a trois. And Mary got raped by the cruel sky god, resulting in a virgin birth. I mean, what the actual fuck?!
