“If you listen repeatedly to religious speech, after enough repetitions you will actually begin to notice God and his works where there was just chaotic life going on before.

What was formerly chance become a miracle

What was pain is now karma

What was human nature is now sin

And regardless of whether these religious memes are presented as truth or as Allegorical Mythology, you’re conditioned just the same.”

~ Richard Brodie, Virus of the Mind: The New Science of the Meme
