The Point Is That Most

Compatibilism Amounts To Nothing More Than An Assertion Of The Following Creed: A Puppet Is Free As Long As He Loves His Strings.

Moderates Want Their Faith Respected. They Don't Want Faith Itself Criticized, And Yet Faith Itself Is What Is Bringing Us All This - This Lunacy.

Every One Of The World's "great" Religions Utterly Trivializes The Immensity And Beauty Of The Cosmos. Books Like The Bible And The Koran Get Almost Every Significant Fact About Us And Our World Wrong. Every Scientific Domain -- From Cosmology To Psychology To Economics -- Has Superseded And Surpassed The Wisdom Of Scripture. Everything Of Value That People Get From Religion Can Be Had More Honestly, Without Presuming Anything On Insufficient Evidence. The Rest Is Self-deception, Set To Music.

An Argument Can Be Logically Valid, But Unsound In That It Contains A False Premise And, Therefore, Leads To A False Conclusion (e.g., Scientists Are Smart; Smart People Do Not Make Mistakes; Therefore, Scientists Do Not Make Mistakes).

While Religious Tolerance Is Surely Better Than Religious War, Tolerance Is Not Without Its Liabilities. Our Fear Of Provoking Religious Hatred Has Rendered Us Incapable Of Criticizing Ideas That Are Now Patently Absurd And Increasingly Maladaptive.
