EDIT: Is everything cool?
A fair question and I admit flying off the handle just now. I like to keep a cool head since we're preaching "reason" and all (we should practice what we preach) but sometimes I just can't contain my frustration and anger against an institution that should be long dead but continues to spread its misery.
I regret and apologize for the personal insults just now (but not for calling Muhammad a child molester, which he is, or for calling Christian beliefs "goofy" which they are).
I admire authors like Sam Harris and YouTube posters like Philhellenes who maintain such a cool demeanor even when speaking out against the insanity of Islamo-Christian beliefs. I really want to be more like them but sometimes the rage is hard to contain. We're splitting the atom, we're able to travel to the moon and back, we've discovered so much of how we came to be as a species, why the fuck isn't this Iron Age religion dead yet? Or at least why the fuck hasn't our political discourse gotten to the level where Bachmann and Perry are selling pencils on the street corner instead of running for the highest office in the land (old news, I know, but they were serious contenders at once point).
And this issue in particular is a personal one for me. Thankfully, my soul mate has turned out to be someone who has a dissimilar anatomy feature at the groin but that's only because this is the relationship that panned out, not the one before her.
