28. Another thing is the utter myopia, egocentrism and the complete lack of perspective.

It somewhat relates to the universe/Jesus graphic above.

This universe is billions of years old, and unfathomably vast, and yet the focus is one small planet populated by a mostly hairless primate species (well, Alec Baldwin excluded) that has been around for about 160,000 years in its current form, with many ancestors preceding it for eons, and then there was a guy either from the Judea of 2,000 years ago or the Mecca of 1,500 years ago, and either JC or Big M were the biggest things to hit the entire universe of umpteen billions of galaxies, like, EVER. And they're magical. So, yeah.

Funny to me, but not always Ha Ha funny because, well, frankly, it's pathetic. It's one thing to believe in nonsense if you're a goat herder in old timey Canaan or you live in a medieval village that you never venture three miles from, but to continue to believe in nonsense in "this day and age" ...
