re: #355 HoosierHoops

Up until the modern period I would agree with you. Yet since the French revolution we’ve seen untold millions who have perished under the banner of ‘objective’ reason. Each system has decided to absolutize their respective visions in order to coerce their understanding. The slaughters of Robespierre, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, have led to many millions dying to achieve ideological ends. I’m not saying that religion doesn’t have guilt in this equation. It certainly does. But the evidence is there to be seen for the opposite to be true too. The forces of anti religion have foisted as much violence on us as any religious motivations have, if not more. That’s my point.
