I wanted to express my thanks for your column about God last week. God didn't just tell the cavemen about physics, and chemistry, and biology and astronomy. Then the cavemen wouldn't have needed to invoke deities to explain everything inexplicable. No one has ever been killed or injured by a group of fundamentalist atheists. Tell that to the victims of Joseph Stalin, Chairman Mao and Pol Pot.
Fundamentalist atheists are everybit as dangerous as any other fundamentalists.
We know that Bin Laden and his collaborators, the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan, espouse a radical vision of the world that bans alcohol, drugs and most forms of popular entertainment - one that forces women to cover themselves from head to toe. These zealots have shown a bloodthirsty willingness to inflict mass violence on an international scale to achieve their reactionary aims. And we must shun the moral preachings of the likes of Jerry Falwell who merely echo what our adversaries stand for. Regardless, your e-mail touched me, and I will do what I can to return to my decadent ways ASAP just to spite those fundie dickweeds.
