  • The top stone in a pyramid?

    It's like the top stone of a pyramid that conditions everything else in the pyramid. In our own lives, we all have something like a top stone. If it were suddenly removed, it would cause our lives to fall apart.

    In addition to misunderstanding atheism and being hypocritical about his supposed belief in god, Mr. Haught also doesn't understand architecture. If you remove the top stone in a pyramid, nothing happens at all. He's thinking of the keystone in an arch.
