When you don't punish defectors, you get more defectors, and the cooperators feel like suckers so they start to defect.

When everyone is a criminal, no one is a criminal.

Belief is akin to imagination, dude. Nothing wrong with it. I'm super spiritual because I believe we can't prove shit, so I definitely believe there are things we don't understand. The belief in a magical invisible sky wizard is a choice, though - no different than santa claus or any other fairy tale.

You can believe things, but you really can't expert to force others to believe them also.

Unless you're in a cult, I guess.
