so what...

yeah, so i havent put anything on here in a while.
twitter is way easier.
but every once in a while i come across an article that makes me think. if you have 2 minutes, read THIS one and let me know what you think. its short. i promise.

heres a snippet from it so you can decide if it is interesting or not.

"Religion has convinced us that there's something else entirely other than concerns about suffering. There's concerns about what God wants, there's concerns about what's going to happen in the afterlife," he said.
"And, therefore, we talk about things like gay marriage as if it's the greatest problem of the 21st century. We even have a liberal president who ostensibly is against gay marriage because his faith tells him it's an abomination.
"It's completely insane."

what do you think?

i came across THIS article talking about pat robertson and some of the things he has said over the years in regards to terrible tragedies such as haiti, katrina etc...here is a line from the blog...

"The likes of Pat Robertson never tire of pretending to know the mind of the infinite being conjured from their imagination. Let’s see how we’ve fared over the past 150 years..."

to find out how we have done over the past 150 years youll have to go read the posting by Jeff Schweitzer. One line written by Dr. Schweitzer that caught my attention was:

"the power of faith to overwhelm rational thought is not to be underestimated"

what do you think?
