References Agnes of God (1985)

Faith is fantasy. How awful for this episode the perpetuate the myth.

Wonderfalls is well written, but it's just a light-hearted teenage (well, 20-something) detective show. It surely has the worst theme song ever. And in this third episode of the series, it affirms the existence of God.

Jose Ortega Y Gasset wrote in "The Modern Theme": "The superstitious mind is, in effect, a dog in search of a master. Slavery is its highest ambition." Why does this 20-something girl try to bring a former nun back to her futile position? Why would the ex-nun believe in the existence of a Devil if she no longer believed in that of a god? Kurt Vonnegut said, "Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile." And Friedrich Nietzsche said, "A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything."
