In general atheists don't feel superior to believers. They just have different points of view. You drive car A while your neighbor prefers car B. That doesn't make your neighbor's choice superior to yours. <br /><br />This blog is consistent in its views on religion. No argument or criticism offered, no matter how offended one feels, is likely to change that. No doubt there are plenty of other blogs that are more consistent with your beliefs.

He challenged people's thinking at the time and I don't think that we in the 21st century should be so hasty to damn the very forward-thinking minds of a time so long ago.
