Found Greta Christina’s Blog article via Why Evolution is True and then via AlterNet. I’ve linked below to Christina’s blog “The Armor of God, or, The Top One Reason Religion Is Harmful”.
Powerful stuff and is similar to what I intended to write here in a future blog but it would not have been as coherently or forcefully written as Christina’s article. I think I was going to concentrate on why the religious feel that they are “offended”.
The religious follow dogmatic attitudes and, with their closed minds, should feel secure in their cosy world of make-belief. But along come atheists making their voices heard and the religious are now shrill with rage. It’s almost as if the religious are scared that they’re about to be found out, that they were wrong. No one likes to admit that they’re wrong. And perhaps deep down the religious know that they’re wrong and get angry at someone who can demonstrate that. I posted something similar at http://www.metalvortex.com/blog/2010/05/30/397.html “Religion’s special privileges”.
