Read other letters about this article
and most of these letters prove it. Many of the new pop atheists and obviously most of these letter writers are woefully ignorant of religion. I would be more impressed if some of these letter writers were capable of actually writing something thought provoking...but they can't, because quite frankly they are uneducated reactionaries. To consider yourself educated and I don't mean that you have a degree from some cow state college diploma mill, I mean really educated in the classical sense, you ought to be able to discuss religion with some understanding and knowledge and none of you can do it. I went to a Jesuit University and questions such as those raised by Mr.Paulson were an integral part of my curriculum and I cringe when I read such willfully ignorant rants. Being well versed in theology and religion should be part of any liberal arts education...for atheists and believers alike.
Sorry toots...you can discuss it while wrapped in your Jesuit coll...er, UNIVERSITY degree until the cows come home but you can't deny the basic truth: HUMANS created religion, and humans with the need for such things create the gods that fit their needs, other humans just don't have the need for it. Didn't need to study that in school, figured that out all by myself.
