re: #100 Dark_Falcon

Agreed. Too many intellectuals mock religion and the traditional values in which many people put great stock. If you attack a man’s beliefs, don’t be surprised when he refuses to support you or the institutions that produced you.

Most large organized religions value education highly. In the RC community, in which I was raised, it wasn’t an option. You went to school, and you learned (or at least brought home a decent report card).

I didn’t like the fear factor involved, but it worked.

Perhaps by attacking religion, there is a factor the intellectuals didn’t figure —the tie between religion and education?
