RE: The debate is over

June 30, 2012 at 2:57 pm

Has there even been anything truly intellectually worthwhile said by a religious person on the topic of religion? That is to say, have they ever made a serious bid to defend their position?

That would be something I would really enjoy, regardless of whether or not I got to participate...

My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.

-Bertrand Russell
