Faith Does Not Offer A Strong Link

Religious Moderation Is The Direct Result Of Taking Scripture Less And Less Seriously. So Why Not Take It Less Seriously Still? Why Not Admit The The Bible Is Merely A Collection Of Imperfect Books Written By Highly Fallible Human Beings.

Rather Than Bring The Full Force Of Our Creativity And Rationality To Bear On The Problems Of Ethics, Social Cohesion, And Even Spiritual Experience, Moderates Merely Ask That We Relax Our Standard Of Adherence To Ancient Superstitions And Taboos, While Otherwise Maintaining A Belief System That Was Passed Down To Us From Men And Women Whose Lives Were Simply Ravaged By Their Basic Ignorance About The World.

The Faith Of Religion Is Belief On Insufficient Evidence.

What We Do In Every Other Area Of Our Lives (other Than Religion), Is, Rather Than Respect Somebody's Beliefs, We Evaluate Their Reasons.

We Should Profile Muslims, Or Anyone Who Looks Like He Or She Could Conceivably Be Muslim, And We Should Be Honest About It.
