"What to say to a man who tells you he prefers to obey God than to obey men, and who is consequently sure of entering the gates of Heaven by slitting your throat?" - Voltaire
Here is a very interesting article. I haven't had much use for religion for a long time. It seems to me that religion is a control mechanism used by greedy men that has done so much more damage than good. Galileo started the world of reason when he showed that the earth was not the center of the universe. All but the ancient religions ignore reason. The gods of the old religions were used to explain the world as best the society could. The modern religions demand that we have faith against reason.
The infidel Europeans love to hate. - By Anne Applebaum - Slate Magazine
In the article, notice the link to "Enlightenment fundamentalism or racism of the anti-racists?" . I haven't read it yet but I will.
