Why I’m not a “friendly” atheist. at Hanlon’s Razor


“Moderate religion is intellectually dishonest and leaves the door open for suicide bombers and fundamentalist nutjobs. Simple as that.”

Clearly put.

You don’t have to be religious to be good

Drawing on a wide range of studies to cross-match faith – measured by belief in God and acceptance of evolution – with homicide and sexual behavior, Paul found that secular societies have lower rates of violence and teenage pregnancy than societies where many people profess belief in God.

Veils, Crucifixes, and all that.

European leaders speak out on Muslim veils (also here).

“LONDON, Oct 17 (Reuters) – Two European leaders separately voiced concern at the Muslim veil on Tuesday, with Britain’s Tony Blair calling it a “mark of separation” and Italy’s Romano Prodi saying it should not be used to hide behind.”

In related news, a check-in attendant is threatening to sue British Airways after being fired for wearing a crucifix.

Let me be clear. Religious paraphernalia have no place in the workplace. I don’t care what your religion tells you you should wear, if you come to work in a modern country wearing a veil, crucifix, turban, or pentacle, I’m going to view you as someone who is clearly not able to think and behave rationally.

I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence

Security Alerts

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

I’ve tried to avoid even thinking about the latest security alerts.

From a humourous viewpoint, it seems that an entire state of matter has been declared a security risk: Liquid | Cosmic Variance.

From a serious viewpoint, I don’t care what you believe.  I might think you’re stupid for believing it, but that’s your problem to deal with, not mind.  But if you take to terrorizing, mutliating, and killing innocent people in support of your beliefs, your viewpoint and beliefs are no longer valid.

In other words: as long as extremists of any religion advocate violence in support of that religion, the entire religion itself deserves no recognition.
