For people to go on without answers is scary. Take for example the monkeys who beat a monkey on faith. There was this expirement where they put a bunch on monkeys in a room. They put food on a platform above the monkeys. When ever a monkey tried to climb up to the platform they simulated rain. Thus, when ever a monkey climbed the platform at all the other monkies beat it up. Then, they started replacing monkies. The new monkey would always try and get the food. The other monkies would beat it up. They continued to replace the monkies until all the monkies from the rain-group were replaced. There were no monkies left that knew why they were beating up the "new" monkey that was trying to get the food. And yet they did. That to me is faith. Granted they are monkies and we are human, we should be smarter than this. But, they, without question, continued to beat the "net" monkies. That to me is why faith is scary. Faith is scary.
