Of course the religious are keen to volunteer to interfere in the

Isn't a perspective unassailable by argument, no matter how rational, a
hallmark of what we might call a religious mindset?
Or perhaps a hallmark of my being irrefutably correct?
:D
That's certainly possible, but to date I haven't really seen much to
support your conclusions except the dual practice of:
1. Selecting, carefully, anecdotes that appear to support your
perspective; and
2. Ignoring, carefully, any arguments that seem to show your perspective
is not wholly valid.
That doesn't constitute evidence of correctness; it's closer in concept to
the meaning of "there are those who have eyes, yet see not".
There's a reason arguing against religion is like shooting fish in a
barrel and that reason is that religion is a load of evil nonsense.
There's a reason vanilla is superior to chocolate, and that reason is that
enjoyment of chocolate is evidence of delusion.
It's all that theobromine which fouls up the mental processes . . .
