I later asked him directly why he went to church. “To be at one with others who attend,” he replied. “It makes me feel better. My mentality is funny. It’s heavier than we think.”

His second written report was somewhat more detailed:

March 10, 1960

Dr. Rokeage was kindly enough to ask of me to submit a report on why do people attend Church.

I think that people attend a service in the church because it is better for themselves. I have been attending the service (I am God, and I am the submitter and instigator of this paper) for the last 3 Sundays; I now feel the better effect. Before, I attended the church (I am a patient in Ypsilanti State Hospital, and the reason I was not attending Church was because I was unable to attend before 3 Sundays ago), I did not feel any too good, now I feel better. It is the miraculous power (along with the contributions of the doctor and psychology, and hospital) that counts in Christianity. I know that I feel better for my having attending the church service; others feel likewise; and think, only 3 Sundays, and I feel the effect-better effect-already. So imagine the better effect for those who have attended other church services regularly! Contributed and submitted by Joseph Cassel or God of D-16.
