Another GREAT post from Martian Anthropologist

Martian Anthropologist has done it again - check out "Belief: The most Dangerous Thing in the world".

Martian Anthropologist says,

Belief without evidence is dangerous.

Nothing could be more true.

This is a GREAT post. I read this blog regularly and would endorse it to anyone as a well written, and provacative blog, a very analytical and rational mind is at work here. Agree, disagree, that's all the better either way, but you'll definately be challenged to think and consider, not just simply absorb the content.

The comments are a rich tapestry of dialog on a very engrossing, and to me, important topic.

I like it, because as you may know if you know me, one of my long running sayings is that "Organized Religion is, bar none, the most dangerous threat to the continued existance of the human race."

Well, this article proposes that belief unfounded in rational examination and consideration, based not on fact and evidence is the most dangerous thing. That is very similar to my bold statement regarding organized religion. Please note my standard caveat that my statement is not directed towards spiritualism, nor faith, mystisysm, myth, or religious ceremony.

PS - when you're checking out the comments, don't overlook mine way way down towards the bottom. It's rich, you'd rue missing it. ;)
