Good article

"But one part of a solution to those discontents must surely be to tell those who clamour for a greater slice of public indulgence, public money and public respect, that their personal religious beliefs and practices matter little to the rest of us, though sometimes they are a cause of disdain or amusement; and that the rest of us are as entitled not to be annoyed by them as their holders are entitled to hold them."

Thanks, Godmode. Good article.
 
Ah, if only that article could make a difference to those of us that are not already in agreement with it. One can only wish. Sigh.
 
"to believe something in the face of evidence and against reason - to believe something by faith - is ignoble, irresponsible and ignorant, and merits the opposite of respect. It is time to say so."
Great article, really great. That statement is really the crux of what I think about religion.

your post reminded me of a similar quote from "The Age Of Reason" by Thomas Paine. Which was written in 1795.

Great book, I must read it again someday. But unfortunately I have to say, nothing's changed. Sigh.
