This is pretty much my take on Richard Dawkins.
I remember when "The God Delusion" was a hot topic hearing groups of otherwise intelligent people hi-fiving each other over how smart they were because they were atheists, & how COMPLETELY WRONG religion of any kind is.
Maybe I just got all my anti-religious rage out of my system early in my life, but observing people carry on like the very fundamentalists they claim to despise (but it's ok, cuz we're secular!) is very disappointing.
- pjscott 15y agoIf smugness and self-congratulation were the problem with fundamentalists, then the world would be a much better place. If it hadn't been for one really good science teacher, nobody at the high school I attended would have been taught about evolution. Large voting blocs are swayed into furious action by talk of "the sodomite agenda". I realize that a lot of people live in pretty secular areas, and can pretend that circlejerking is the only real problem with religious nuts, but that's just not true.
