Comments on: Brit Hume and the madness of blind faith

Because like Hume, far too many people in this country base their lives on something that is a fantasy. Evidently reality is too great a load to bear so they retreat into, and make decisions based upon delusion.

If you’ve found a myth set that makes you happy, great. Just leave me out of it.

OK, while you are trying to figure out why you are so angry, also explain this if you can: How does Brit Hume’s faith ‘affect your life’ in any sort of negative way?

By the way, I love the Claire Wolfe quote. Just remember, though – Claire said that over 10 years ago ….

While you may be correct that it can’t be ‘proven’ (although we don’t know what your standard of “proof” may be …), that doesn’t explain why Mr. Hume’s opinion makes you so angry.

Why DOES it make you so angry?

It’s a bug in the software that doesn’t show my name, which is James Mann.

I stated at no time that Christianity is “wrong”, only that it can’t be proven, hence, its all in the mind of the believer.

And yes, my post obviously does say something important about “that person”, namely that I’m not a sheep believing in a fairy tale. You can believe whatever you want, doesn’t make it true. If you awoke tomorrow and your toaster talked to you, everyone would think you nuts. I’m just not as polite…you’re delusional now.

I wonder why the author doesn’t sign his name to his writing. Is it because he doesn’t want to take personal responsibility for the contradictions in his his “reasoning”? I wonder also why the author insists so vehemently that Christianity is wrong. Is it because he doesn’t want to take personal responsibilty ….. ? And what is so wrong about a news commentator giving his opinion during an opinion piece anyway? Why does the “C” word cause such anger in certain people? Perhaps we should view that reaction as a red flag that could be telling us something very important about that person.
