Those may well be true. What I find implausible is his expressed desire: Ok, so “hate” is a strong word, but hopefully this click-baits enough folks into reading this article with a clearer, more rational and unbiased demeanor than what the title suggests. Without descending into hyperbole, what I hope to share with you are all […] At this point, having deliberately chosen a hyperbolic headline, the author is too late to avoid hyperbole, and too late to engender clear, rational unbiased demeanour. I despise the tendency to do all the things designed explicitly to push our irrational buttons, and then attempt feebly to regain the moral high ground by implying that the *reader* is responsible for any lack of “clear, rational, unbiased demeanour”. The author is not writing in good faith, and I do not expect that any arguments found in it are honest either. -- \ “I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. | `\ But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take | _o__) it seriously.” —Douglas Adams | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
