WOTM: A Better World
I'm a little sick of people talking about Science and The Enlightenment being the products of Christianity. They were, but only in the sense that hundreds of years of Christian theocratic rule had people thinking, "There has to be a better way." I hope you enjoy this one. And thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for your continued support. B

My favorite is when apologists state the the enlightenment happened "under the protection of the church." (Verbatim quote as well as I can remember). So, what was the church protecting people from? Well, the church, of course. Funny that the apologist used the word "protection." Nice theory you have there -- shame if something happened to it. Or you.
I love the "shame if something happened to it" meme. That's really the essence of religion. It's a protection racket.
Those Abrahamic religion believers will tell you and me that the Bible isn't a science textbook when we point out the absurdities in the descriptions of the world around us in said holy books. But the instant something is discovered by science that they can use as evidence they are correct, that factoid is pounced upon with gleeful "Ha-hahs!" Recently the Big Bang theory has been seen as evidence for the creation of the universe (which it is) by their god (which it is not). Keep up the good work. My Patreon support of your work is some of my best spent money!
I’ve said the same for years. It’s heads, I win, tails, you lose. And so glad you feel that way!!! 😉
Transporation?
Funny - today I am wearing my nerdy FFRF "In Science We Trust" t-shirt and it has been appropriate more than once.
