Just checking in.

"Prat".    Temper, temper, little man.


To return to the program:

As I've said before, atheism deserves the same amount of respect as fundamentalism. And no more.

To anyone who can think and read (perhaps that excludes the esteemed Mr. Mather, Slingshot, or whatever he cares to call himself these days-- and his sidekicks)   the reason should be obvious:    both pretend to more certainty, in the same field of inquiry, than is justified. Atheists come to their own unshakeable conclusions, just as fundamentalists do.   Neither attitude is reasonable.

Fundamentalism and atheism are flip sides of the same coin.

As I've noted, skepticism on religion is more than justified;   atheism is, to put it mildly, less so. Maybe that's why people who rely on thought and reason and have not spiritualized hysteria--- Bill D for example-- call themselves skeptics rather than atheists.
