Religion

See the disclaimer.

The persistant suspension of rationality and critical thinking required for a religious faith is something I find fascinating and scary.  I jump at the chance to probe someone’s faith but I don’t expect to get them to shed it.  I’d encourage critical thinking.

I’d hate to be a jeering atheist and I try to resist pointing out obvious contradictions and absurdities online since no-one wins.  I firmly believe that religious practice should be tolerated but contained within society.  Much like morris dancers.

As much as I admire Richard Dawkins as a biologist, as a preacher he only provides an easy target for ad hominem attacks.
