The thing I hate most about religion is how, when you scratch adherents, you find at the bottom some kind of misguided existentialist defense.

A. You have the power to lie but not the right. Keep desire and belief separate.
B. Everything means, and that is clearly the problem you're having.
C. Quit moving the "something" bar. Anything you've ever called something is something.

At least it makes me feel...
It stops you feeling more.
