The End of Faith
Subject line is title of excellent book by Sam Harris, which won Penn award for 2005 nonfiction, on how religion fosters violence.
I laughed internally (ILI?) at Ioula's post. Good on her.
And yes, the drugs they can take for paranoia have only minimal side-effects, but not likely they will be used.
Yes, there are many decent Christians who do good works, but how hard are they fighting these crazies who have siezed the national agenda, behind demagoguing pols who only want money and power? I don't even care if those pols are so deluded by self importance that they believe their own rhetoric. Sincerity in the truly deluded is only sad.
Rationalism has to speak its name loud and clear and continue to denounce the irrational.
