>Religion is intellectual cowardice disguised as wisdom—the refuge of minds too weak to confront reality without cosmic babysitters yet too arrogant to admit their ignorance. The religious believer represents peak midwit pathology: sophisticated enough to recognize life's fundamental meaninglessness and mortality's finality, but psychologically too fragile to accept these truths without retreating into elaborate fantasy systems about invisible sky parents who validate their existence. They've transcended the hunter-gatherer's honest relationship with uncertainty but lack the intellectual backbone to construct meaning through reason alone, instead demanding that the universe care about their personal comfort and provide them with eternal significance they haven't earned.

Seeing all the bad in the world and thinking "there must be no god" is peak midwit.
God is real. Believing he is not is just as "absurd" as believing he is.
