We Are Free To Burn The Qur’an

We Are All Prisoners Of Our Thoughts.

While Believing Strongly, Without Evidence, Is Considered A Mark Of Madness Or Stupidity In Any Other Area Of Our Lives, Faith In God Still Holds Immense Prestige In Our Society. Religion Is The One Area Of Our Discourse Where It Is Considered Noble To Pretend To Be Certain About Things No Human Being Could Possibly Be Certain About. It Is Telling That This Aura Of Nobility Extends Only To Those Faiths That Still Have Many Subscribers. Anyone Caught Worshipping Poseidon, Even At Sea, Will Be Thought Insane.

We Have Christians Against Muslims Against Jews, And No Matter How Liberal Your Theology, Merely Identifying Yourself As A Christian Or A Jew Lends Tacit Validity To This Status Quo. People Have Morally Identified With A Subset Of Humanity Rather Than With Humanity As A Whole.

Atheism Is Just A Way Of Clearing The Space For Better Conversations.

The Second Commandment Is "thou Shall Not Construct Any Graven Images." Is This Really The Pinnacle Of What We Can Achieve Morally? The Second Most Important Moral Principle For All The Generations Of Humanity?
