"Monkey with a madding affliction:" yeah, he's kind of mocking the Christians. He seems to be taking the "rational animal" aspect of humanity and also coupling it with people's desire to believe in something.
But, the next line kind of confuses me. It seems like he's also mocking the scientists with their necessary "fact checking" to back up whatever's being claimed as true. They might also consider a belief in God as a "mental condition" or something that can be explained biologically/psychologically.
Oh, hell. I don't know. I'm probably reading way too much into this. But, it seems like Brett's taking on both sides, and in all honesty that wouldn't really surprise me.
