It just so happens that his brain is full of a lot more holes than normal people. (you could say it's holey) They say faith is in the heart, but actually it's in the brain and just feels like the heart because you believe it so fervently that it hurts. This does not make you a better person, quite the opposite in fact. Faith means taking something as fact with no proof (and even every shred of scientific evidence against it) The brain evolved to think, therefor faith goes against everything out brains took 120 million years to develop. Nice job. Can't be easy to ignore 120 million years of evolution. In any case, the arch bishops statement is just a glimpse into what the leaders of most religions already know, it's bullshit. Unfortunately it's not just benign bullshit or I wouldn't have a problem with it. It's cost more lives and suffering than anything else ever. Yea, god would be real proud of you. HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
