Current Events » in reply to re: They don't trust mainstream religion...In fact they've made bashing religion a religion of its own on the left.

On the other hand, people who reject any cosmology or biology that doesn't depend on a literal interpretation of the Bible are right-wing in their politics.

The space board is heresy.

Many on the right are busy trying to make sure that their religion is the established religion, with monuments installed to it in public buildings and prayers in its tradition incorporated into public ceremonies and public schools. Education is to adhere to its dogma, even down to keeping youth ignorant of their own sexual biology. Heaven knows, if teens understood sex they might practice it!

In this way they have a lot in common with other fundamentalist groups. Ahem.

The Inquisition was not conducted by nature-worshippers. The pogroms were not performed by people who believed in UFOs. Airliners were not piloted into the WTC and the Pentagon by people who believe in ESP. Those were all done by people who believed unquestioningly in "real" religions. "Real" religions have a history of producing murderous extremists.

Now, if you're all finished displaying your disdain for minority religious journeys, perhaps you would all be so kind as to tell the rest of us what, and how, to think, O Wise Men Of The Mountain. Mountain of the Week: Mount St. Helens, chosen in honor of all your hot air.
