Well, again, if anti means throwing people in prison or outlawing things, then no, I'm not anti. If being anti means that I think such things are destructive and we ought to say that they're destructive, then yes, I'm anti. I mean, why are we against quacks that sell products but not quacks that sell ideas?

These people are anti-naturalism, if you will. Why don't we say so? In fact, I'm not anti-religion, I'm pro reality. They're the ones that are anti-reality.

quote:

You can be philosophically anti-religion all you want be. I bet that I have the same arguments with those of faith that you do. But announcing that you are anti-religion while trying to protect the first amendment will only serve to piss off a lot of people we would like to bring around to our way of thinking. Don't ya think?
