Excellent presentation. Of course, the conservative theologist is largely dismissive of these points. Which has proven problematic in America when combined with a 20+ percent national illiteracy rate and an educational system that has been ranked below roughly 30+ other developed countries. Faith is lovely and theology is worthy of respect, but history has amply shown that blind faith can be a dangerous quality in mankind., particularly as a tool for political manipulation, as we are seeing on our streets today. Indeed, there are so many historical examples of death, wars and oppression that I honestly don't know where to start. Perhaps with Columbus? Or the Conquistadors??? It's a shame our species is so prone to aggressive self interest as opposed to kindness. But that's the fact. So the beat goes on.
Sheesh.. your last line. That’s it.
How can this kind of cult attract followers? I don’t understand what it offers people.
