No one ever founded a republic, or freed slaves, or created a great work of art, or wrote a symphony, or established a charity or a university based on a secular worldview. Listening to a comedy routine never inspired anyone to: hide Jews during the Holocaust, work the underground railroad transporting runaway slaves to freedom, aid hurricane victims, risk their lives bringing medical supplies to civilians in a war zone, throw themselves on a live grenade to save their buddies, or pick the dying off the streets of Calcutta to comfort them in their last moments on earth. It’s religion that helps us to understand the difference between the mentally handicapped and dogs, between those who cut off the heads of civilians (after forcing them to say “I am a Jew”) and soldiers trying to save as many lives as possible to end a war they didn’t start, between people who try to live good lives (who honestly believethey have a duty to their fellow man) and blow-dried boobs who pay more attention to the way their hair is styled than the consistency or logic of their arguments, and for whom life is an extended punch-line. -Don Feder from a really good rant donfeder/articles/0604maher.pdf
