Fundamentalist Evangelicals, Mormons, Baptists, and Jews have held back progress in science, human rights, civil rights, and protecting our environment.
Notice anything missing from that list? A certain other major religion often associated with "fundamentalism" and bad stuff happening?
- drallison 16y agoMost religions have a fundamentalist branch and most are associated, at some level, with holding back progress. It's bad debating style not to identify "a certain other religion". Did you mean Scientology? Islam? Bahai? Buddhism? Paganism? or what? If you have not read it, Sam Harris's book, The End of Faith, is a worthwhile read.
- brainproxy 16y agoI think he's referring to the Catholics. I'm a Catholic and noted too that we're not in the list :-D I found it a little strange given the premises of the "God blocking" folks; maybe it was an oversight, who knows...
