How’s it going Authori. Is the underlying vulnerability here faith? It’s fascinating to me how…in a world largely dominated by faith…faith came to be a dirty word. This began well before the rise of atheism. Even among the faithful there’s a general perception that an excess of faith strongly correlates with an excess of shiftiness and stupidity. Look at how other Christian’s view fundies, for example. If they could kick them out of the tribe or vote them off the island, they would. They accomplished as much socially, which is how it became safe for atheists to criticize fundies in the company of christians. Catholicism went through a similar beating to the same end.
Meanwhile we all have things that could be generously (and critically) described as articles of faith. I’m not sure if the Big Bang qualifies, I don’t have any feeling about it, so certainly no strong ones.
