Looks like I'm not the only one who responded to Daniel Dennett's recent comments about religion. Here's Jane Galt:
Daniel Dennett continues his quest for the title of "stupidist smart person in the world" with his opinion that we can do for religion what we did to smoking. Let me see if I can phrase this in a way that Mr Dennett might understand: if smoking made us live forever, it would be very, very popular. Even if it didn't make you live for ever, but could convince enough people that it might, it would be very, very popular. And anyone who thinks that they have the same caliber of evidence for atheism that we do for the carcinogenicity of tobacco needs to have his ego examined for possibly fatal inflammation.
Read my post from yesterday responding to Dennett's comments.
