<p>The Internet is certainly a place where a lot of garbage can be found. But it is also a place where there is much valuable information. Access to this information, the knowledge gained, the application of critical thinking, these are the things that are leading people to discover the irrationality of religions and the realisation that a better life is experienced without religion’s cursed dogmatic and soul-destroying controls. The correct title of this article should really be “The greatest threat to Christianity is knowledge”. This is relevant <a title="http://www.jesusandmo.net/2011/07/20/books/" href="http://www.jesusandmo.net/2011/07/20/books/">http://www.jesusandmo.net/2011/07/20/books/</a></p>
<p>Josh’s arguments on sex and pornography are a red-herring; people, especially adolescents, are always interested in sex which is a pretty natural think to do if you think about it, and getting an education about it is pretty essential to help through the pangs of growing up. And there is always legislation and policing to ensure that unlawful content is made inaccessible…this has nothing to do with Christianity or religions but rather in our inherent morals. Yes, think of the children.</p>
<p>Anyway. Dump religion. Live free. Live happy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good. James Randi&#8217;s article <a title="A U. N. Victory For Reason" href="http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/487-a-u-n-victory-for-reason.html">http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/487-a-u-n-victory-for-reason.html</a> states that the silly proposal brought to the United Nations to &quot;…forbid critical, insulting or defamatory statements about religion…&quot; has been rejected. Excellent news.</p>
<p>I will criticise religion. I will make fun of it. Because clear and critical thinking demands it. Religions have, for far too long, abused their powers and used their influences and dogma to persecute people, and lead others into a world where &quot;the word&quot; is absolute and people are not allowed to think for themselves. So I absolutely will be critical of religion where warranted.</p>
