There exists in society a very special class of persons that I have always referred to as the Believers. These are folks who have chosen to accept a certain religion, philosophy, theory, idea or notion and cling to that belief regardless of any evidence that might, for anyone else, bring it into doubt. They are the ones who encourage and support the fanatics and the frauds of any given age. No amount of evidence, no matter how strong, will bring them any enlightenment. They are the sheep who beg to be fleeced and butchered, and who will battle fiercely to preserve their right to be victimized.

Expose every belief to the light of reason, discourse, facts, scientific observations; question everything, be sceptical because this is the only chance at life you will ever get.

No matter how smart or well-educated you are, you can be deceived.

The only difference is that religion is much better organized and has been around much longer, but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.

No amount of belief makes something a fact.

The market for nonsense is infinite.

Nature doesn't cheat - people do.
