All I'm Arguing For Really Is That We Should Have A Conversation Where The Best Ideas Really Thrive, Where There's No Taboo Against Criticizing Bad Ideas, And Where Everyone Who Shows Up, In Order To Get Their Ideas Entertained, Has To Meet Some Obvious Burdens Of Intellectual Rigor And Self-criticism And Honesty-and When People Fail To Do That, We Are Free To Stop Listening To Them. What Religion Has Had Up Until This Moment Is A Different Set Of Rules That Apply Only To It, Which Is You Have To Respect My Religious Certainty Even Though I'm Telling You I Arrived At It Irrationally.
