Edward TABASH


"Our society is in the grip of a perverse mindset. Those who uncritically accept unproven supernatural mythologies are revered as having reached the highest levels of morality. Those who courageously apply the faculties of reason and logical thought are looked upon as immoral and as embodying ultimate evil. The conscientious nonbeliever, incredibly noble in courage and in will power to follow reason through to its ineluctable conclusions, is shunned rather than lauded...
To me this shows that our culture is intellectually and morally sick...
How much longer will we continue to endure a society in which blind faith fidelity to mythologies are revered and the exercise of disciplined intellect is shunned?"
