that's goblinpaladin's response too. And my instinctive one.
but then, if acceptance of the FSM helps *at the time* does it really matter if it's sincere or not? i don't think the FSM is going to be any more upset about a post-conversaion apostate than an atheist.
Sometimes depressed people *grasp* at faith. it's a pretty comforting thought, after all. What can you give them that isn't exploiting their weakness?
