PZ Myers has written a cracking polemic suggesting, in short, that we atheists should all become a lot more aggressive in attacking the root of religion, unreason.
Go read it, it’ll give you a little Monday morning backbone to face another week of dumbassed people. It prompted Jim Heber to comment:
When I am tempted to become mesmerized by the brainpower spent on erecting the magnificent edifice that is theology, I remind myself that a lot of smart people can speak Klingon.
They even wrote dictionaries about it.
But you know, it’s still made up!
Just because a subject has lots of information written about it and just because it’s internally consistent doesn’t mean it’s real, or true.

That one’s going right into my own personal anti-unreason armoury.
