All good stuff, especially the Hitchens memes!
ReplyDeleteGood - and upsetting - stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hitchens is always gold. Yes, some are upsetting -- but it's an upsetting world.
ReplyDeleteMaher (and his staff) has an amazing ability to find ways to laugh at the seemingly unmockable.
ReplyDeleteSo many good memes here. It’s surprising that so many people cling to fantasy. I don’t even find the fantasies that most religions espouse to be particularly attractive. If one wants to play make-believe, there are far more pleasing universes that one can conjure. But, I guess religions survive partially due to the fear-of-hell factor.
Most religious delusions are much more scary than appealing, if considered in their full implications. But, yes, their main purpose is controlling people, not reassuring them.
ReplyDeleteIncredible stuff here. Why are atheists the only people making any sense these days?
ReplyDeleteIt's a bizarre world. At least there are more and more atheists all the time, as the religionists show their true colors.
