That was very insightful and even moving. He very adeptly articulated how I feel about religion and it's delusional effects on the human brain. I know people that are deluded enough in their thinking to agree with Jerry Falwell's asinine comments and this is tragic.  
 
Intellect over faith, what's wrong with that? Why is this taboo? Why do I have to respect absurd religious ideas? This article made me ask myself these very questions. After reading this article I felt vindicated in my beliefs as well as angry of other people for their beliefs. Is this wrong of me? Right about now I really don't care. Is it to much to ask that people use their brain and think for themselves? Apparently it is! For most of the people I know the brain washing of religion goes to deep. "They are not mere asses but are in fact ill, worse they are incurable". This pretty well sums up how I feel and if you don't like it, to bad.
