No Not all of it has been posted here before. I include the bit where O'Reilly was roasted for a little more balance.

"I'm sorry to hear that religion has certitudes. "

You didn't hear that from me. What I said, in different words, was that people who tend to express certitudes tend to express certitudes whether they are religious, anti-religious or not religious at all.

I think that the biggest myth that we hear from atheists is that somehow, the rejection of the religious paradigm makes them different people or even better people. IMHO it does not. I think that for the most part you are the same person before and after your conversion no matter the direction to or away religion.

Anyone who says, Jesus is my savior, is admitting their own imperfections, they are saying that they rely on Jesus' love, forgiveness, wisdom and compassion to guide them through their own uncertainty. Sometimes what you hear as certitude can be nervous self-affirmation.

It is hard to be generous about others contradictory beliefs when you are not certain about your own.
