[Serious] Over the top

Well, we could go the other way, toward more modern people. W.H. Auden comes to mind. His religious views were certainly a part of his self-image, important to him in every part of life. And he did develop pretty well. Also Lewis Carroll, he was cool. Surely you can think of people, right?

Do we really have to cite cases of religious people who did good things? Who developed into good people? 

Quote:I think the issue for me is that if religion/philosophy is all that the individual has to contribute to society (especially if the person only regurgitates and is pompous about it) then I won't have much of an opinion about the individual.

I consider contributions made in philosophy to be worthwhile to society. 

Granted, regurgitation and pomposity are not positive attributes. But here we're pointing out obviously negative traits that were not in the original over-the-top statement. If you want to add to what he said, in order to make it acceptable, you can, but that's not what he said.
