If you say that you know something is true, while the reality is that you hope it’s true, then what you’re actually doing…
is lying.
#Religion–a wrong way to do it
As human beings, Lying is in fact one of our magical, super powers. Also among our super powers are Lying’s close cousins, Hope and Faith. With enough hope, faith, determination, and force behind us, we can actually lie something into reality.
But be careful how you use this super power. It usually does not work out quite as planned.
My own preference is usually that hope and faith be expressed experientially–in actions, rather than rhetorically–in words and narratives.
Both have their places, but it’s just my preference.
