Belief

 It puzzles me that the same person who says religion is all of made up stuff, fantasy, wishful thinking, or a crutch, is often the same person who has complete faith in a media news service, without any investigation of the facts.  This person criticizes God followers as simpletons who believe something simply because someone says it is so.  Yet this same person believes something is so because some news pundit says it is so.  Getting to the truth is hard work inside and outside religion. Many of us don't care to make the effort to get at truth.   We simply like to be fed what usually fits us at the moment.  Infallibility seems to be coming into fashion in the media.  The new religion.
