At quick glance, you’d think the dog was driving the car. It’s silly because we know dogs can’t drive cars. Not so in the spiritual.

You’d think they’re nuts! Sadly, the first one mentioned happens to be more relatable to the human propensity. Another thing to note – How can one possibly trust someone who asserts to be resigned to life’s uncertainties and yet be so certain about something (i.e. the non-existence of God)? I suppose this kind of contradiction is negligible for some. There’s no struggle involved when you basically just push something aside. It IS the easy way out.
