re: Thoughts after a visit to the summit
You had a very good post going there, including some fascinating history of Hawaii that I didn't know before. But I did think the "morons" bit was unnecessary.
Faith is a big part of the lives of many human beings. Only a small fraction of the religious are fanatics, just as there are fanatics among atheists.
You can stay apart from religion without having to throw insults. Others here manage to do that.
