Progressive people of faith: The Nuns of Philadelphia

84. What an amazing response.

SO faith attacks reason? And the many stupid believers, those with crippled intellects, are unable to get good jobs. That explains why I do not have a cell phone. My faith makes me too stupid to use one. So if I renounce my faith I can buy a smart phone and get a good job.

I only wish that I had received your wise guidance many years ago,

How about this narrative, as a counterpart to your narrative on faith and belief:

Atheists represent a quite small section of the population. A small percentage of atheists, call them fundamentalists, are driven by an unreasoning hatred of faith, so much so that no matter what good work is done by people of faith, these militant, uncompromising, fundamentalist atheists must attack that work as tainted because it is associated with faith.

This small cadre of intolerant atheists cling to people like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens not because they are correct, but because Dawkins and Hitchens allow their beliefs to be validated.

What say you?
