I guess I'll clear my throat too

Opinionated blather.

That's all there is to this weeks commentary.

I can't say that I really blame him, since he must get pinged on religion all the time by some of the most narrow minded and intolerant people on this planet.

But it's just the same glop that's been covered a hundred times in numerous threads throughout this forum.

Here Mr. Randi, have a hug: :rub:

Now can we get back to work?

It's Randi's forum, so if anyone has earned the right to express his opinions about religion, it is him.
I quite enjoyed his commentary.
Yes, it is his personal opinion, but so what?

Lighten up.

JRAF sounds ok to me.

JR Atheists Foundation ... Perhaps skools are required to accept anti-religious sites? ;)

Randi doesn't usually post here, so whether it's discussed here, in the white house, or Mars is irrelevent.

The commentary is why *he* rejects religion, and he uses facts and reason to back it up. His "opinions" are mostly what he thinks to be true or false, not his preference. (ex: Thinking god does not exist, which has a definite answer, and whether red is the best color, which has no true answer).

Randi has never covered it publicly in his own words before.
The closest he'd come to it that I'd seen was in an add-on page in Flim Flam, where he didn't go for the jugular.

But as far as I'm concerned, he didn't go for the jugular here, either. He simply offered his opinion on the value of religion. Ok. I don't think anyone should be surprised about his opinion on the value of religion.

It would have been more interesting (and I think the spirit of the forum would have been better served) if the attack were scholarly rather than personal.

Yes with a deist as an admin and leading figure....makes sense to me. :rolleyes:

As someone somewhere else said recently......

Hal is a Deist, which is to say, almost an Atheist. ;)
