The Rationalist - Ecohumanism: Protagoras' Silly Dictum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | The problem is that, as Mark Twain has observed in Letters From the Earth, some of us actually do have the reasoning faculty, but almost no one uses it in religious matters. |
 | | The gods and religious dogmas invented by men-Zeus, Zagaga, Ogyrvan, Pwylt, Jahweh, virgin birth, sacrificial death, crucified saviors, redemption through suffering, transubstantiation-would be a stunning insult to the reasoning capacity of any alien who ever happens to visit our planet, this pathetic speck in a parochial corner of the universe. |
 | | No, a combination of a perfect body and a rational mind is as impossible as the proposition that the Earth is flat and that devils can be put into swine and run to the sea for a swim. |
