Rationality & Christianity: Mutually Exclusive?

[Pannonian]

I miss him too. Seems these days that too few people are willing to openly criticise religions either out of fear of violent reprisal or pressure to be overly politicaly correct.

A lot of athiest community has gone to shit over the last few years. When the most recent crop of college grown liberals started gaining authority they began stigmatising everyone who had world views they didn't like.

It's got to the point where athiests are being declared pariahs for a lack of idealogical purity. Don't adheire to the unrelated social values of the group leaders and you're out. Now athiesm's become known less for rational debate and more for youtube slap fights.

Or maybe Thatcher's Britain has actually resulted in a more tolerant Britain, in that no one cares what others think, as each is concerned only with themselves. Criticising other religions, when those religions don't actively impinge on you, involves caring what those religions say. If people don't care what those religions say, then they don't bother criticising.

Sounds like it is an indifferent Britain, not a tolerant one.

Not much difference at the sharp end.
