If you consider the fact that your mind is only yours

True, but most religions would cease to exist if that was generally accepted. Perhaps we need more people like the army chaplain Father Katz.

"'My dear colleague', answered Katz, patting him familiarly on the back, 'until the state recognizes that soldiers who are going to their death at the front don't need the blessing of God for it, the chaplaincy remains a decently paid profession, where a chap isn't overworked. It was better for me than running about on the drill-ground and going on manoeuvres. Then I used to get orders from my superiors but now I do what I like. I represent someone who doesn't exist and myself play the part of God. If I don't want to absolve anybody's sins then I don't, even if the beg me on their bended knees. But you'd find bloody few people nowadays who'd go that far.'"
