Reply #73: Many use religion as an excuse for why they don't need to think. [View All]

I have a fundie friend who listens to them the hoards of slobbering charlatans do thier pontifications all day long. He has a sharp mind and can differentiate quite well. I only have conversations about sports which he knows well. Some of the tools for critical thinking he has but other's he is missing. I relate this to the fact that it is tough going having to believe others would lie to get their way. Nothing is hopeless, but putting your hope is in the wrong place could even be worse.
