Very interesting article Peter. Religion being used as a political weapon has been going on for quite some time and in my opinion is beyond despicable.
Sooooo many things in this article that could be discussed, but my thumbs can’t take it lol.If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

Thank you for sharing the article, Peter, like Rusty said, it is very interesting. It poses many observations that deserve thought, preferably while smoking a cigar.

"Accompanying this vitriol and anomie, it would seem, is a widespread lack of scepticism toward one’s own political beliefs. Some people are not just confident, but absolutely, 100 per cent certain that their views about how to order society are optimal. For these people, extremism and animosity might seem to be the only logical route. The philosopher of science Karl Popper went so far as to argue that absolute certainty is the foundational component of totalitarianism: if one is sure that one’s political philosophy will lead to the best possible future for humankind, all manner of terrible acts become justifiable in service of the greater good."

So does his certainty on the subject make him an extremist?🤔
