centuries of a single repeated message
reinforced by parents, teachers, politicians, clergymen,
hucksters.
The power of,
a leap of, and ultimately
taking comfort in
faith.
And that to doubt is cynicism, arrogance,
a transgression
against our most cherished
belief,
that Keith Raniere is the Smartest Man in the World™
that David Koresh is Jesus Himself (Isaiah, 41.13)
that L. Ron Hubbard discovered the Bridge to Total Freedom®
All the rest of them,
all the same,
building on one proven
fact.
If you can get them to believe in God,
it shows
they’ll believe in
anything.
