My thought for the day:
When a child talks to an invisible friend, we consider it cute, and encourage the child's creativity.
When that child grows up and continues to talk to an invisible friend, we are concerned about schizophrenia, and medicate the man the child became.
When a lot of people talk to the same invisible friend, society calls it religion, and yells at atheists for pointing out that there's really no difference between this example and the prior one.
Awesome, love this analogy. But as you often say "People will believe a lie because they think it is true, or because they fear that it might be"
