At least you got the jest. You still have not proved you believe in nothing.
Which was my only point. Without reference we can not exist. It is not futile
to fight agains ignoramce. We learn by our mistakes as well as by our
triumphs. It is just interesting to me that a group of such free thinkers seem
to feel that the idea of religion has greater power to corrupt than any other.
And that taking up blinders we protect ourselves from its influence.
