Freedom of and from religion is the way to go, but religious fundies - of <i>any</i> religion - are the scourge of the planet.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772126106416366135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-38168019779449076592012-08-02T00:16:24.742-04:002012-08-02T00:16:24.742-04:00Good post, though I didn't quite understand th...Good post, though I didn't quite understand the inclusion of the "bitter atheists" with all the conventional religious looney tunes.<br /><br />I was raised as a traditional Catholic but realized by 14 that the Bible had enormous contradictions that no one had credible answers for ("God works in mysterious ways" is just bullshit for a thinking person.)<br /><br />But I became an agnostic rather than an atheist. An agnostic posits that the existence of an almighty God (or any god really) is incapable of scientific, i.e. tangible proof and so is a moot point. Atheists actually aver that God does not exist but are not able to marshal any proof for the proposition. Belief in a god is simply a matter of faith; atheists waste their time trying to argue the counterfactual. There is none.<br /><br />Of course arguing for freedom for any religion or no religion in the public sphere and I am totally for that. That's what the fundies want to undermine. And that's an ongoing struggle against the religious fascists in this country (and around the world) but they aren't just Christian fundies.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891331049535299222noreply@blogger.com
