I decided I'd take some time today to gripe about Religion and why it is in the sad shape it's in today. As you may have guessed, I'm a strong supporter of Religion and think that it's not getting it's fair share in society. However, I can completely see why people are turning away when we have loonies like Pat Robertson who claim they can talk directly to God and, in some way, "predict" the future. I offer up as evidence this article I found while browsing fark.com.

Most people who have found themselves caught up in the Scientistic worldview will agree with most others that Pat Robertson does not receive revelations from God, but is spouting either absurdities or obvious likelihoods in an effort to - in the end - get money for himself and his conservative agenda. If Robertson and his cronies are your reason for turning away from Religion (Christianity, in this case), then I'm right in line behind you! However, I hope people realize that Robertson does NOT speak for the whole of Christendom nor for any Religion that has any self respect at all.

It's you, Mr. Robertson, and people like you who are destroying the image of Religion. Shame on you!
