From my friend, Byron Lovelace: As the horrors theocracy unfold - TopicsExpress



          

From my friend, Byron Lovelace: As the horrors theocracy unfold in Iraq, lets remember what American physicist Steven Weinberg said: Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. Whether one calls their god Allah or Jesus, religious fundamentalism is the bane of human existence... which is why the founders entrusted us with a secular society made distinctly separate from the church/state alliance of the crown they rebelled against. The Enlightenment principles that gave birth to the United States elevated reason above ecclesiastical tyranny, science above superstition and the Rights of Man above the Divine Right of Kings. Never forget the truth.
