I read it in the same way, 2Mar$--a convoluted and mystical reliance on ignorance as a defense of belief. "For first, my beliefs are not, for the most part, within my control. If, for example, you offer me $1,000,000 to cease believing that Mars is smaller than Venus, there is no way I can collect. But the same holds for my belief in God: even if I wanted to, I couldn't-short of heroic measures like coma inducing drugs-just divest myself of it." So when he writes his essays he doesn't choose and consider with thoughtful attention. He simply retches and there it is, folks!
