First, She.

Second, isn't that an old story? I swear I've seen it before. Or maybe they're claiming it again.

There is a God. And He has a wicked sense of humor:

Shorter Buddhism

[Kepler]

July 15, 1838, Ralph Waldo Emerson went into Harvard, told the kids humans can figure out right and wrong better than God, and the higher ups were not happy.

One of the all time great speeches. Incredible opening:

In this refulgent summer, it has been a luxury to draw the breath of life. The grass grows, the buds burst, the meadow is spotted with fire and gold in the tint of flowers. The air is full of birds, and sweet with the breath of the pine, the balm-of-Gilead, and the new hay. Night brings no gloom to the heart with its welcome shade. Through the transparent darkness the stars pour their almost spiritual rays. Man under them seems a young child, and his huge globe a toy. The cool night bathes the world as with a river, and prepares his eyes again for the crimson dawn. The mystery of nature was never displayed more happily.

A little similar to the phrase coined buy Wordsworth and the English romantic poets (whose lives preceded but overlapped with his) are known for: The child is father to the man. Among the meanings attributed to that line is the idea that we lose rather than gain our understanding of nature and our place in it as we age and become shaped by worldly experience, which would include our religious indoctrination.

That connection may be a bit of a reach, but it strikes me as valid.

Christianity, the religion of love.

You can't fix stupid, you can only hope to contain it by enacting good policies. We've done a very poor job of that in America.

Religion is disgusting
