Reply #42: I revert to the South Park episode "Go God Go" [View All]

where in the future there are three societies of warring atheists fighting over what the true name of the Atheists should be. The satire cuts because it emphasizes that belief systems, cults of personality etc. are the result of these differences in searches for power etc, not the cause of them. Certainly, most religious people and most areligious people don't think they have all the answers, and many faiths and branches of faith strongly encourage a path of seeking wisdom and not just accepting rote words in a book. People who are confident they are right and won't listen to opposing viewpoints are always a danger, no matter what the viewpoint, and whether religiously based or not. If one thing is clear, it's that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in anybody's philosophy
