This is a bit of thread drift...
I had a dream last night that my mom was holding me under the water and hitting my back so that I could not hold in air. She wasn't trying to drown me, she was insisting that if I just "believed" that I could breath, that I could. She was telling me to lie to myself, that I can trick my mind into believing I can breath underwater if I just kept lying to myself and telling me that I could. Then I would actually be able to breath.

I'm mentioning this because that is how I feel about faith. People are just lying to themselves that something is true for so long that they believe it. Doesn't actually make it true.
