This post is a response to another blog. to read the post to which I have responded, click the monkey. You know you want to.
I love it. I got my BA in Religious Studies (almost) solely to have the clout to refute circular reasoning. The whole “(my holy book) is the word of god, because (my holy book) says it is” rationale, is so baffling that I can only shake my head. I wonder what simian hierarchical itch is scratched by blind faith? Sensible people (at least sensible enough to keep themselves alive) blindly follow people that I wouldn’t buy a car from . Unless and until we acknowledge and accept that we’re monkeys, with all the inherent territorial and alpha dominance issues therein… we’re doomed to be led by the biggest brute, and ruled by the biggest asshole. Look at your workplace, and who's in charge and why. Now look at the social stratification in any lunchroom. Blind Faith is a cop out. As Camus says, "To a man devoid of blinders, there is no finer sight than that of the intelligence at grips with a reality that transcends it."
We’re out of the trees, and through the looking glass. Embrace your inner Kong!
