In My Humble Opinion
So, as I struggle to adjust to this new WordPress editor I just want to try to say again that In MY humble opinion if someone wishes to exercise their right to have an opinion and to express it in public they have the responsibility to make sure that their opinion is based on rational, logical thinking and that it is not just emotionally charged irrational ranting. Unless of course they start their post with ‘In my humble oponion.
If you want to see examples of such futile thinking and Argument then search WordPress or Twitter or whatever for ‘Atheist’ and you will find instances galore of assinine comments (actually if you read Bertrand Russell’s ‘Why I am Not a Christian’ you will find that even he has problems tackling the subject so these lesser mortals have only two chances of hetting it right…no chance and a dog’s chance!
It is not someone’s opinion to be an atheist that offends me it is the ludicrous, specious and irratonal mode of Arguing or supporting their decison that I find offensive as it demeans their humanity and insults my intelligence.
Think About it
Hello Everyone
I was thinking of resurrecting my ‘From the Pulpit…’ blog but decided to not do so but to concentrate on this one instead…
I have just finishjed reading a book called ‘The Ghosts of Rosevear’ about a small island in the Isles of Scilly with a nasty history of shipwrecks (Actually, haven’t all the islands there got such histories?) I’ll post a book report soon.
I’ve also been reading Nigel Ayers’s wonderful book about the Bodmin Moor Zodiac and DooDah Wotsit’s book about the Lizard Zodiac in Cornwall. Fantasic reads both.
I’m thinking of writing a book about Leylines. You know, the lines of mystical energy that link one gullible buffoon to another…
