Letters to the Editor

Still no gods.
The backlash, limp as it is, continues.
We're chemicals, all the way down. No magic, no gods, no demons. Plenty of stuff we can't expain, sure. No surprise there. Theists holding up the ever-shrinking body of non-expalinable stuff up as proof of their rabbit-ass-crazy beliefs, sure. No surprise there either.
Unlike some whiners in the lettters section, I appluad Salon's decision to continue to publish science/faith articles. I encourage them to keep 'em coming.
I would also like to remind the martyrs that they've had their time on Salon's pages as well. There was the article about research into afterlives, for example. Or those two book reviews of those sad, sad, people who thristed for meaning and modern Christianity couldn't fit the bill.
A few other random comments. Where do people keep coming up with Richard Dawkins being vitriolic or mean? Have you watched any of his talks? The man has the patience of a saint. A saint, I say! He also has little tolerance for tomfoolery. And he doesn't pull punches with the idea that the universe does not owe you comfort or security.
Hard facts, but you need to hear them.
