Scary. Incredibly scary what these morons are trying to do to our children, to the future of this nation and to humanity. Keep them steeped in ignorance and mythology so they don't know right from left, much less right from wrong, or truth from bigoted baseless opinion. I think Christopher Hitchens, as usual, said it best:
Now, I am absolutely convinced that the main source of hatred in the world is religion and organized religion. Absolutely convinced of that. And I think it should be - religion - treated with ridicule, and hatred, and contempt. And I claim that right. So when I say - as the subtitle of my book - that I think religion poisons everything, I'm not just doing what publishers like and coming up with a provocative subtitle. I mean to say it infects us in our most basic integrity. It says: "We can't can't be moral without 'big brother', without totalitarian permission", means: we can't be good to one another without this, we must be afraid, we must also be forced to love someone whom we fear - the essence of sadomasochism, the essence of abjection, the essence of the master-slave relationship - and that knows death is coming and can't wait to bring it on. I say that is evil. And though I do - some nights - stay home, I enjoy more the nights when I go out and fight against this ultimate wickedness and ultimate stupidity.
