Couple of opinion pieces in the papers |
Fundamentalism, religious or secular, gets us nowhere
RICHARD Dawkins has done more than all religious people together, to
put God on the current public agenda. He is on a highly publicised,
international campaign to convince the world that "religion is the
root of all evil". I think he's seriously misguided, at best, and that
his campaign is dangerous.

With God on side
IT WAS only a few months ago that I read an article in The Age
claiming faith was the new black. Then last week Catherine Deveny
informed me that atheism had taken its place. Fashion is indeed
fickle. I am so last year.
Atheism is the new big thing. Richard Dawkins' book and documentary
The God Delusion have headlined its charge. For many, Dawkins' books
are a much-needed tonic after a lifetime of fundamentalist
indoctrination. For others, his arguments are based on gross
generalisations emanating from shoddy research.

The world is merely reacting to religious imposition, particularly
fundamentalism.
The religious object because they have become accustomed to getting a
free ride.
But not any more.

Faith is not the new Black, faith is the new "Flat Earth".
