It's sometimes better to have a father figure to rebel against than nothing, than just a black hole or an absence.

I didn't have a father figure in the house.

Sting is a father figure to us all.

There's a large cluster of stars that are orbiting the center of our galaxy. And by measuring the motion of stars, and in particular, their orbits, we can figure out whether or not there's a central black hole.

I never had a father figure so I never missed it.

I just see religious freedom, as a category, as just being a black hole.
