I’m going to level with you, I live in a small town and I don’t think anyone actually believes in God around here. I think they try to tell themselves there might be one, because the idea that someone actually care, someone with a level of authority who can look at all this and say that this is wrong, and that we need better. Such a lovely fantasy that people turn to it in times of stress.

And I think that’s why Donald Trump is such a cult of personality, that’s not that he is anything special, it’s that he represents the fantasy that there is someone with power out there who wants to lead us out of this Wasteland into something else, who can make our delusions of not grandeur, but mere adequacy a reality.

It is not because his character is Noble or that he’s particularly intelligent or anything like that, but some people just want to live in the fantasy that someone up there is looking out for someone down here, and that it will eventually be okay

I think people who claim to be Christian but live in a big city, are more sincere in their belief.

I hope there’s an afterlife, because, maybe that’s when things will actually be okay
