what if one kneels down and prays not so much to regain one’s own belief but, on the opposite, to GET RID of one’s belief, of its over-proximity, to acquire a breathing space of a minimal distance towards it? … In the “normal” cynical functioning of ideology…the true logic is: “Kneel down and you will thereby MAKE SOMEONE ELSE BELIEVE!” … “act as if you believe, and YOU WILL GET RID OF YOUR BELIEF - you will no longer have to believe yourself, your belief will already ex-sist objectified in your act of praying!”
