Jesus Christ—who, As It Turns

A Kernel Of Truth Lurks At The Heart Of Religion, Because Spiritual Experience, Ethical Behavior, And Strong Communities Are Essential For Human Happiness. And Yet Our Religious Traditions Are Intellectually Defunct And Politically Ruinous. While Spiritual Experience Is Clearly A Natural Propensity Of The Human Mind, We Need Not Believe Anything On Insufficient Evidence To Actualize It.

I Am One Of The Few People I Know Of Who Has Argued In Print That Torture May Be An Ethical Necessity In Our War On Terror.

People Who Harbor Strong Convictions Without Evidence Belong At The Margins Of Our Societies, Not In Our Halls Of Power.

If Someone Doesn’t Value Evidence, What Evidence Are You Going To Provide That Proves They Should Value Evidence. If Someone Doesn’t Value Logic, What Logical Argument Would You Invoke To Prove They Should Value Logic?

It Is As Though A Portal In Time Has Opened, And The Christians Of The 14th Century Are Pouring Into Our World.
