 Disappointed
Hi Steve, I've been reading your blog for a couple years and have always been impressed with the love and compassion with which you write. It's clear that you want to help others. Before I continue, I should say that I agree with the intent of your post -- I'm no longer religious and share many of the same sentiments. But this post seems to be full of anger, judgment of people who rely on their religion, and ridicule. I have known many people who have been lifted from the gutter of life by religion and turned their lives around. Is it right for me? No. Is it right for many "average intelligence" people who aren't quite brave enough to define their own path? I'd say it's often a lot better than nothing. I'm disappointed that you'd rail on these individuals just because they aren't part of the 1% (or less) of the population that feels secure enough to blaze their own path. My 2 cents...
