bingo.
i have complete faith i can perform heart surgery with a kitchen knife and a paperclip. i don't have any evidence to prove this but i do have faith in my ability. should i be able to get a job as a surgeon based on this faith? how about letting me pilot a jumbo jet full of holiday makers because i believe i am a pilot?
belief and faith is all nice and lovely but it doesn't actually count for jack shit when you get down to the nitty gritty of reality.
religion is myth from a time long gone when there was no science and very little literacy and i'm sure it's always been used as a tool with which to exert control over the masses.
