Y hasta la victoria siempre. Although original thought has its place in the world, it should not be in a school newspaper. When my professor tells me something, I have no time to figure out whether it is right or wrong, correct or incorrect, moral or immoral. After all, I only have a limited amount of memory, and all of it must be preserved for remembering material that will be on the test. I have no time left to consider anything remotely original.
Evergreen spells out an old and problematic argument against religion.
The basic problem with the argument is the failure to realize that any powerful concept, such as religion, is vulnerable to abuse. Different religions are different attempts to express beliefs about God, the nature of reality and the meaning of human life. Some religions may get some of this wrong. But there are also many people who are indifferent to religion and who also do terrible things. Most people who do terrible things try to justify their behavior because they don't want to admit how terrible they've been.
