TIME IT IS TO RATIONALISE FAITH OR TO REJECT IT

TIME IT IS TO RATIONALISE FAITH OR TO REJECT IT

Why do scientists not get outraged unto street violence when their theories are challenged? Can any 'hurt' one answer? Following a faith this way is regressive and reprehensible. Don't those who you hit feel doubly hurt as well? What sort of faith is this that is so vengeful and violent, the sentiments of whose followers are so fragile as to call for retribution on fellow human beings at the slightest pretext?

No one ought to be so sacrosanct as to sanction mayhem and murder en mass of humanity when honour of such is perceived to have been outraged in the slightest. Faith, however great, cannot be greater than human life and no one has the right to take another's life or even threaten to do so en masse with impunity simply because strength of numbers and power to riot frighten authority into submission. If a faith cannot progress and a polity pampers it nonetheless, then this is the outcome that follows.

Now consider whether you wish to remain in the dark ages or to emerge in the sunshine of modernity.
