I agree with this, however the strong atheists have some good points about organised religion. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater, as they say... The fact that they are unconsciously religious themselves doesn't invaildate their arguments, it merely means their arguments also apply to their own positive beliefs. (But that's just science!) But I realise that you've had a problem with them personally, so I should be more careful qhen quoting Dawkins etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
