If only it were that benign. If only we could comfortably sit back and laugh at the "great unwashed masses" and chuckle at their, as you state, stupidity and foolishness.

The problem is they use this rhetoric to motivate and jutify the forced promotion of ignorance and hatred. They stop the advancement of medical science and start wars because of their god beliefs.

As you say, they are "stupid and foolish", yes. But it may be equally stupid and foolish to passively sit back and allow it to continue. How many more will be slaughterred at the feet of these god myths before it stops being considered cutely "stupid and foolish"?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
