And good ridance to all that bullshit.
The death of religious faith was proclaimed at the end of the nineteenth century. There is nothing left of that claim.

As for your comments - a small amount of reason and tolerance go a long way. Why are you so hostile to spirituality? Why are you so contemptuous of religious faith? Where does all that malice come from?

I fully accept and appreciate the vital importance of scientific inquiry and methodology. I do not expect my faith to answer questions of science. But neither do I expect science to address questions of meaning and purpose. That is moving away from the open mind of science and into materialism as a strict ideology.

Why not consider a more tolerant and inclusive viewpoint?
