The Devil made me do it



That's Dan Barker, apparently in a debate with Dinesh D'Souza.

Now, for a contrast, how about this?



With a real universe as amazing as that, why do we need a fake universe, a fantasy universe, an imaginary universe? Why do we cling to primitive superstition in an age of scientific miracles? Why do we insist on ignorance when real, demonstrable knowledge is so widely available?

Can you explain that? I can't.

Barker is simply brilliant, wonderful person from whom to learn.

It's good to know there are other rational-thinking folks (you) who see this smarmy myths for what they are. Although this would be labeled as "confirmation bias," if it 'confirms' something that's true, then bring it. Thanks for posting this!
