Randi takes the bull by the horns , Finally

[Morchella]

It is good to see that Randi, after hedging around the topic of religion for so long and being much too kind to finally come clean. I agree wholeheartedly with everything he says. He has been one of my heros for years and it is good to see him take on the fools who believe in religion.
Recently I saw a bumper sticker saying," As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in school" That demonstrated the attitude of most religious dupes that can't accept that some of us don't pray and wouldn't give a rats a$$ for any diety. The saying, "There are no atheists in foxholes " says the same thing. Well I got news. I was in a foxhole and was also an athiest.
Don't bother, all you religious nuts to try and get in a cat fight with me here on the internet. It is not my style. I don't waste time arguing with idiots. All of you who love Randi like I do then feel free to comment and celebrate this transition in Randi's position on religion.

Hal, can we merge these threads about Randi's latest commentary - they're breeding like rabbits.

Yes... more blind being led by the blind... I am glad i have found the opposite side of the spectrum. It is like Bizzaro world in Superman comic books... where everything is backward from what is common to earth. It is amazing that Randi has started his own L Ron Hubbard like follwers with a statement on bad religion. Adolf Hitler seduced his nation in belief that certain people were superior to others... Religious dupes? Whats your angle... what do you base your belief on?

Man, this is too much fun! DM

Man, this is too much fun! DM This is an example of the reaction that can be expected following the use of that label which I will not dignify by naming.

It will be characterized as a new religion and derided.
And justifiably so.

Hitler also considered himself as an artist, you know, Mr MrSynectic-in-the-painting-studio.

^^^^Hitler also considered himself a Christian did he not?
