I have come to understand that nothing can be done for them. Rational articles such as the following simply don't fit in fairy land. The fairies and unicorns must stay. Logic, reason, perception, and honesty--these must all go. For such people, reality is the deadly enemy; while fraud and illusion are devoted friends and erstwhile companions..."...They don't need any evidence of this, because to their thinking it must be true. Such people are trapped in their own hall of mirrors, and for them there is no escape. They will never know they are wrong even if they are. No evidence, no logic, no reason will ever get through to them. When we combine this troubling fact with the observation that their religion, like every other, appears tailor-made to justify their own culture-bound desires and personal vanities--as if every God is made in man's image, not the other way around--then we already have grounds for suspicion. The fact that even the Christian idea of God has constantly changed to suit our cultural and historical circumstances, and is often constructed to be impervious to logic or doubt, is reason enough to step back and ask ourselves whether we're on the wrong track with the Christian worldview.
