The simple truth emerges like a bubble of swamp gas and just as foul. - Emma Newman

These are intelligent, rational people and they just absorb all this shit without even thinking about it. Are they so desperate to hold on to something that they’ll ignore the facts? How long can they do that?

As a scientist, I know this is madness. But I also know this is an act of faith.

Do you still shout at people when they talk about their faith?
I shake my head. "I grew out of that. Now I mostly let them damn themselves with their own ignorance."
