As you probably know I tend towards a kind of open spirituality. The reason I’ve never been attracted to religion is that it discourages you from having your own thoughts and theories based on your experience, based on others experiences, based on experiments and data or based on your gut feeling, all of which are more valuable than dogma.

That’s not to say I’m against religion, I actually find it fascinating and full of interesting ideas. But if these guys are not able to sit and have a discussion with this guy without being so dismissive, it just proves how flimsy their faith really is at a fundamental level. I hope that doesn’t happen to him every day
