@curtd Church and state both mean government. The utility of faith is that it allows you to gain confidence without having confidence. That is to say, you can’t lie to the subconscious. If you haven’t programmed it to know that you can do a thing, it will know that you can’t do a thing. So, how do you bridge the gap? Faith acts instead of confidence in order to build confidence. The utility of faith. Control for the sake of security. Security doesn’t come from control.
