The enlightenment itself was a War to place ideas and the rights of ALL citizens above religious dogma and inter-religion rivalries. RE: <<The Left's War on Christianity>>

Great article! Lots of really good quotes to use in the battle to educate our young and to fight for the triumph of Science and Reason over supernaturalism. Those who love their country (and who doesn't) need to remember that in an age of modernity and sophisticated technology and reason...Bronze Age thinking is the death knell for progress and national autonomy. This is not a fight that Liberals must make but rather one that is the responsibility of ALL people of sense and sensibility--all who hold their human rights and freedoms dear, and who would prevent the sinking and disappearance of greatness into the ooze and slime of superstitious mediocrity. Without an unhampered support for Science, a Nation is dead. For my keeper file I will lift a couple of those great quotes. What an excellent article! Q: What if Mary had taken Plan B after the Lord filled her with his hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit? A: You’d have to justify your misogyny with another ancient mythology. A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. Suck it, Jesus, this award is my god now! and from the article author: "I'm sure that all of us, whatever our beliefs may be, would fall well short of the perfect standard he’d set." OMG! Jesus set a "perfect standard"! The author is hoisted on his own petard!
