  • How To Escape The Age Of Mass Delusion

    Well worth a read:

    http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/08/...mass-delusion/

    Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

    The author is seriously delusional if he thinks that freedumb of speech is the solution to all the madness, given that there has remained lots of free speech in the past decades yet the progressive agenda has generally not been stopped. What is needed is incisive thought as the foundation of the counter-propaganda - but that's assuming that things can be reversed, which I highly doubt.

            That's one of the many major flaws of the article. Conservatives engage in propaganda all the time.

                Yep and thousands of badly written liberal op-eds apparently don't exist.

                  It's more like 95%.

                      Seems to say that the less educated you are the more honest you are.

                        Only if you equate honesty with magical thinking and lack of critical thinking skills!

                          More unintended irony.
