Everyone believes in God, right?

[Chainfire]

5. I believe in dog.

She is, in fact, snoring right next to me. If you like, I can show proof!

Man created God, in his own image, so that whosoever believeth in him, can avoid death. Humans don't like the thought of their own death. I suspect that if this old dog knew about death, her species would have created a dog god.

We hate voids of knowledge as much as nature abhors vacuums. Where there is a question, we will create an answer. It doesn't have to be true, it doesn't have to be verifiable, but it beats admitting that we just don't know. We are too damn smart to just not know.
