And then there are people who contradict themselves. The hypocrites, if you will. The people who need an explanation for anything that might require an ounce of faith on their part, yet don't need an explanation for something that they want to believe. ("It's true to me.") And then there are those who will choose to cling to some things even after they have been disproved to them. That's the worst.
