Another good video from Pat Condell:

One which seems to have a fair bit of relevance around here lately...

Agree with him 100%. I hate the way religion always is supposed to have a free pass from criticism, especially when the religious tend to totally disrespect those of us without religious beliefs.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Oh Yes.

We've had an influx of people lately asking for their stupid views to be given respect. Fuck that.

Which only applies for self-defense:

"Thus, if they let you be, and do not make war on you, and offer you peace, Allah does not allow you to harm them." (Surah 4:90)

(But call me Spider, from now on, because other members who are new may get confused who you are talking to). Smile

Oh man, I totally agree with Mr. Condell. I do my best to be a calm, compassionate person every day of my life, but the one thing I cannot seem to shake is my hostility towards religion. I react to it as I imagine any truly moral person would react when faced with a case of pervasive and unacceptable social injustice. If I could save humanity from its dangerous delusions, I would. My inability to do so leaves me feeling quite helpless. Kudos to Pat for speaking up.
