Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
“But I don’t think your religious opinions should be given any more weight than any other opinions when it comes to matters of public policy.”
So true… but religious and political believers ‘know’ that they are right therefore everyone else is wrong and so their opinions don’t count (or are evil). Luckily for us there are many religions and sects within each religion, plus many political ideologies and ‘wings’ within each ideology so we can blunt the pressure on public opinion to conform by pointing out the many, many, alternatives.
Each religion only cares that it has the truth, and that all must follow. (No matter if they put “COEXIST” stickers on their cars). Logic never enters into it.
Love it!
