Peace...
Perhaps such a view would be blinding, however it has nothing to do with anything I have said.
This is actually amusing...You seem to be waxing philosophical about solutions as if they can just be ordered up like extra french fries. You know I bet you could just make this pretty little speech at the United nations and everyone will tear up and declare world peace..
I don't agree that the uneducated would fail to understand Dawkins. He makes it a point to present himself in a manner which is apprehendable to the lay person. The uneducated may not have much opportunity to hear dawkins since his venues are typically outside of their areas of interests.
Unnecessary in what way? Are you suggesting that this system of beliefs has no utility to the Bourgeoisie?
Soo you seem to be saying that becoming atheist increases your chances of being upwardly mobile....Why did you bring that up?
Seems like that has worked alot better than Godlessness.

Quote:BTW you can be poor and atheist.. you can even be dumb and atheist.. However the likelihood that you will be dumb is lessened when you apply critical thinking to notions of cosmology.. and the likelihood that you increase your interest and learning increases the chance that you will utilize resources to improve your own well being..

Saying 'goddidit' is not only wrong but lazy.
Its thinking like this that led to the stagnation of the dark ages.
