Yes, this is my point - belief aleviates fear and uncertainty. It gives many
people hopes and adds to their dreams. If that was all it did, I would be very
happy that it was around for those who need it. But since it is more commonly
used for purposes I consider evil, I consider the danger too great to be
allowed to go on unchallenged.
