A retort to Warren and Others

Last week, I vented my spleen about comment from Pastor Rick "Repackaging Halfwit Homilies" Warren.

Well, as so often happens wonderfully, someone else, in this case Daniel Meissler, summed it up much more succinctly than I ever could have:

Let me get this straight. You think the Creator of the Universe cares personally about your life, and that you know, with absolute certainty, what he wants for all of humankind.

While I think that we’re basically alone, not very special, and are just fumbling through our random existence trying to do the best we can.

And I’m the arrogant one?


Nice.

From Ebon Muse, a neat little primer on John Stuart Mill's Method for Critical Thinking. Sweet.

Oh, and from Hemant Mehta, fun with Elizabeth Dole, hoping that prejudice and fear-mongering is thought to be a winning combination in North Carolina.
