You know, I compare it to that. It's called the man in the gorilla suit test. There was a famous test done, I think, in the 90s. where they gave people a picture of people passing around a basketball, and they said, count how many times a guy in a white shirt passes the basketball.

They just didn't see it because they weren't looking for it. And I feel the same way about God. I feel that we have been trained to look at ourselves as things.

And I don't want anybody to adopt my religion.
