Deference to Religion
Advertisements [?]
Is it just me or is the trend toward nutty religions growing? I'm not even talking about the mainstream religions. I'm hearing more people saying things like "I prayed to God, and he found me a new house." And more.

I am thinking that this is happening because the rest of us are being too polite to speak up when we disagree with some religious statement. Most of us were taught to not argue a religious opinion no matter how crazy we think it is.

As long as we defer to religious opinions, we are perceived to be in agreement. I believe that we should speak out when we disagree.
