Faith is the declaration that you know the truth even when you lack any evidence to prove that you’re right.

When faith is combined with claims of morality, deception is an inevitable consequence. Preachers will tell you that you must believe them, because to question what they say is evil.

Then come the demands that you change your life to suit the whims of their invisible spirits.

Then come the demands for money, and more money, and more money.

The power of faith is the power of deception.
