Believers who play the local game of popular vice, which may include regular attendance at churches, synagogues, and temples or regular attendance at a school or a job, are blinded to it by belief and by belief alone. Belief is powerful, too much for us to overcome, except we find the courage inside ourselves to examine into it with a dedicated, piercing eye and a strength so great an answer to our quest has got to be found. The quest?  To find out for ourselves what is going on in the world we have created to serve.
