I opened this blog to start addressing many different issues concerning rationality vs. religion. While I do so as a thought process for me, allowing others to read and respond, I will inevitably end up reciting things already written and addressed by other authors (The Four Horsemen: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens being the most famous) I have read as well as those I have not read. It is not my intention to plagiarize or even regurgitate; I want to address issues with my own intellect in an effort to compile sufficient text for an eventual book or something. That being said I must give reverence and credence to those who came before me, and from time to time thus I might cite famous authors who have already speared certain specific issues to a great degree.
I invite you to share your thoughts on the matter. I must in all good scholarly conduct admit that I might indeed be wrong. If you are a religious person, you probably have very deep feelings about the subject matter. This should not stop you from contributing. In fact you're the person I wish to hear from the most. As I will do my best not to attack you personally and hurt your feelings, I would ask you do the same for me. This is a place for intelligent discussion not for breaches in intellectual civility.
Some of you have been invited from my facebook page to here. If this is the case just don't use my real name in posting responses. Also please visit (at your own convenience) some other websites on the matter:
