Dick your knowledge of basic psychology is quite limited I am sad to say.
Its common knowledge that anxiety at coping with life is the reason why
people join churches. Then they feel better.. they cant solve the problem
but god will fix it.. besides he loves them... all highly emotional stuff..
Now let me see why Dick thinks there is a god.. Let me read further
Michael Persingers "Neuropsychological Bases of God Beliefs"
Maybe an fmri scan on Dicks brain would reveal what is causing
Dicks delusions.... hmmmmmm
