Mocking My Religion

I've been reading Scott Adams' Dilbert blog for awhile now. He's so freaking hilarious, but even more importantly, he's often (in my opinion) right. (I'm sure he'd hate to hear me say that.) I don't always agree with his opinions and beliefs, but I admire his balls for putting stuff out there that some of us don't have the nerve to say in polite company. (And what does that mean, anyway--"polite company?") I love the post he wrote today about religious beliefs.

"Mockery is an important social tool for squelching stupidity. At least that’s what I tell people after I mock them. Or to put it another way, I’ve never seen anyone change his mind because of the power of a superior argument or the acquisition of new facts. But I’ve seen plenty of people change behavior to avoid being mocked." Go here to read the entire post.

If he ever decides to give up cartooning and tennis and being a restaurant entrepreneur, he's got my vote for President.
