I wonder how brave people like this would have been standing up to the church in the time of Galileo, when the church had real power, rather than in the twentieth century west when its fairly toothless in most countries? Or how brave they’d be in Iran?

When faced with a bit of twitter pile on, people just fold, dont they?

Honourable exceptions: the ordinary women on here.

Bless.

Or not. You spent enough time
ranting on and on about how dangerous Christianity was as an ideology. You listened to no one asking you to just be kind on that one, Philip

Someone who wrote a most excellent series of books which had a strong theme of how totalitarian religion is a Very Bad Thing and how mutilating children is a Very Bad Thing can I’m sure form their own opinion on this.

Can’t they?

Get it together, Philip. He's a secularist isn't he? This shouldn't be difficult.

How lazy. It’s that desire to be told what to think that’s caused this bloody mess in the first place.
