Actually, I have four holes in my heart: two atria and two ventricles.
We don’t have a God-shaped hole — they have a hole-shaped God.
It’s the classic, convince people there’s a hole and then offer to fill it.
Ah, the old women’s magazine ploy:
“You’re ugly, wizened and horrible, and no-one will ever love, BUT we can solve all these problems for a modest fee!”
Just make sure to tell them, once they are hooked, that those problems will come back in full force if they leave, and you got ’em.
my heart has chambers..to pump blood in and out…i believe you too have some..
Religionists just have an a-hole, period.
God is holy.
