Wow, you sure showed me. Perhaps you can also enlighten me as to what sane and logical premises religious people assert?

The problem we have here is that both religious people and non-religious people are equally sane and logical, but since they start with different premises, they come to different conclusions.

Of course, any sort of fanaticism of religion in discussion pales in comparison to the rabidity of atheism on this blog and elsewhere on the internet.

Let's not forget to be mindful of hypocrisy. That's a lesson religion learned long ago.

I heartily agree with the statements in your commentary. It boggles my mind that fully grown mature people can believe the nonsense of the three Abrahamic religions. Then add in Mormonism and Scientology, they are truly just as absurd.

I can't imagine religion having any place in schools or government. There are churches everywhere for the purpose of pushing these inane beliefs and if you are so inclined you can go there as often as you want. Common sense is needed to run governments and schools are the future of a country.

This was excellent. Atheism is our only hope for sanity in a polarized world gone crazy with some ancient, vindictive god.
