  I always love when Ian is on, he's so articulate and his deadpan delivery pleases me greatly

  This sounds like an abusive relationship. "No matter what he does, he must have a good reason!"

  What does it feel like to be wrong?  The exact same way it feels to be right!!!   Something I never even thought about before, but an excellent point.

  Leaders should always be questioned. No one and nobody is above scrutiny. Including gods.

  Whenever these types use phrases like &quot;if we came from stardust and protoplasm, just rocks and gases&quot; they&apos;re tacitly admitting their bottomless religious narcissism to you.<br><br>-Because what they&apos;re REALLY communicating is &quot;That&apos;s not GRAND enough to have produced ME.&quot;<br><br>Any and all attempts to place a &quot;who&quot; rather than the more logical “what” into the equation of where the universe and/or life came from or how it formed is pure religious narcissism. insisting on inserting a human-like personality, even an uber-superhuman one is back-handed ego stroking by the theist. They connect themselves (and imagined value) by proxy TO that super being. <br> <br>They wallow in ego thinking they&apos;re of grand importance. Because they&apos;re terrified of their insignificance on the cosmic scale. <br> <br>They are horrified they may &nbsp;NOT actually have some grand purpose and destiny preordained by powers that recognize their supposed magnificence. <br> <br>And THAT is what they&apos;re actually railing against. Religion strokes your ego, science strips your delusions of grandeur away. <br> <br>And THAT is why they hate it. <br> <br>That&apos;s why they are terrified and horrified by the reality of biological evolution: <br> <br>Nothing strikes at the heart of religious narcissism more lethally. <br> <br>Evolution strips away all concepts of religiously induced self-aggrandizement. <br> <br> It profoundly humbles the human race, shoves us back into the planets &quot;line of life&quot;, Removes both notions of profound origins and grand eternal destinies and reaffirms your mortality, finite nature and impending death. <br> <br>And all of that is NOT ALLOWED to be true in their unimaginably self-celebrating world.

  The caller would end his family if he thought that god told him to. Religion is a good tool to control psychos lest they have no threats to keep them in line.

  I wish these callers would get educated and study just a little about evolution. It would open their eyes even just a bit.
