I'm referring to the FUNDAMENTALIST aspect of it or ANY other religious thought or deeds that spring from a STRICT and INTOLERATE interpretation of any AND ALL Scriptures.




Just when you seemed to be going for jugulars, become softer and - gasp - more tolerant. Tragic as it may be to admit, all religion is superstition and the only difference between a caveman sacrificing a wombat to the thunder gods and modern-day religions is that folks have become smarter at trying to rationalize what are irrational beliefs.

Of course, special scorn should be reserved for the New Agers, who can use the most sophisticated semi-mystical, quasi-scientific, linguistic mumbo-jumbo to convince the unthinking that "harmonic crystal energies at the quantum level can generate fields of consciousness, which lead - when properly channeled - to an harmonious oneness with the spiritual universe." Bah, humbug and poppycock. Anyone who believes this sort of mindless clap trap deserves to lose their money to a grasping guru charging $35 a pop for some wishy-washy, insipid, turgid, self-help tome that is only good for smacking the witless over the head with.

But apart from that, I'm pretty much OK with most people

If life wasn't so pointless and absurd, I would take it more seriously.
