4. Delusions.
People can't tell the difference between a Faith commitment to a Truth that is independent of their definition and assumptions about it and "Faith" commitment to something that depends upon semantics and manipulation.

The reason they can't tell the difference is because they have depended too long on others to tell them what to believe and think.

Bush's War was threatened from the start by people with home-made signs standing on street-corners because it was not grounded in reality.
