Grandfather says religious conviction is a funny thing.
Not ha-ha funny; wondrous funny.
It propelled the Sistine Chapel ceiling, the Spanish inquisition, the Knights Templar and Billy Graham’s Crusades …
But its expression is uneven. And uncertain.
Those who have it yearn to be sure.
Agnostics admit they don’t know.
Atheists say all the others know the wrong thing.
