RIP Gitmo.
"Through belief, these stories become part of our reality, and as a part of our reality, they serve to connect us and to divide us. Whether or not Jesus, Mohammad, or Buddha Sakyamuni ever walked the earth is irrelevant. Because people believe their narratives, they are real; they are a part of the reality in which we exist. Furthermore, a fictional character, in whose existence modern audiences have faith and whose memory we preserve, exists in a far more substantive form than the countless real people who history has forgotten. People die, their bones turn to dust, and they are forgotten. As long as we are remembered we continue to exist, but once we are forgotten, we fade from reality."
