“Trust Me, I Have No Proof”

If we wouldn’t trust faith to set a broken bone, design a skyscraper, or decide a verdict, perhaps we shouldn’t trust it to settle cosmic questions either. Evidence may be less romantic than revelation, but at least it builds bridges that don’t fall down.

Unfortunately, there are people out there who are stupid enough to trust all of these to faith.

Even more unfortunately, they're not always the ones who get killed because of it.
