but they lie to themselves and cling with every ounce of strength to what they know to be lies, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT A BOSS.
Very smart Rav! This is probably true for most people, but there are some true athiests. What I never understood is when Atheists talk about wanting a moral society without religion – how do you decide what is moral then? Its very arbritrary and many people end up using basic societal laws (like most of the Sheva Mitzvot Bnei Noach). Sorry, thats leeching off religion and God :-/
