I'm fine with that. But calling a polemic a campaign expands an error in understanding; and calling the target "faith" is far too large a catch basin to honor accuracy.

More precisely, I indulge an off and on polemic against supernaturalism--specially as expressed through myths which (by virtue of their absurdities, their inhumanity, and their outright degradation) debauch and pervert all that is decent, noble, exceptional, and fine in the best of humankind.

I don't want my children and my children's children and their children to have to waste their life seeking safety from religious mad men doing God's work with guns and bombs.

I don't want the people I care about to walk around stupefied believing there was a flood that covered the highest mountains where some satanic demon creator murdered all his kids, etc. ad absurdum. We know with 100% CERTAINTY that none of that silly nonsense happened.

Those who don't know that the THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of religions have always been about social control are the ones who are being controlled and herded like sheep. Your choice, as long as you fight your bloody wars and set off your bloody bombs on another planet far from our home we call planet earth.

Your various religions are just another front for racism and tribal nationalism and it ain't bloody well going to stop...is it??? Not as long as the people pushing the chess pieces have an unlimited supply of pawns to shove around the board.
