Lethally Dangerous Nonsense

I have just finished reading 'Letter to a Christian Nation' by Sam Harris.

What is most disturbing is just how hidden religious nonsense actually is in our society. There is this desperate attempt to be inclusive in the face of Islamic extremism despite the obviousness of Islam's real nature. And meanwhile our supposed kindly and compassionate Christianity is nothing of the sort.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in Europe apparently. Nukes are being developed by people who believe to die for their religion is a good thing (instant paradise!). I really do fear for my kids and the world they will inherit.

Oh and meanwhile people with a rational, ethical, genuinely compassionate view of the world are branded as being the worst kind of people imaginable. To be an atheist is to be pariah. Apostate. Kafr.

Nightmare.

Ug

With that highly articulate subject line, I find myself with flu. Now on the mend but damn it quickly arrives and then is loath to leave.

Considering the run of colds since before Xmas I am sick (hahah) of these niggles. 'Niggles' in this case confining me to bed.

So still feeling unwell but at least the fever is broken. Rest. Drink. Ibuprofen. Sigh.

Normal service to this blog will resume in due course (etc).
