    Anybody want to start a crowd funded initiative to builda bronze statue of that dude, holding up one of his cartoons, with his quote at the bottom, to be displayed in Paris?

    All religions are dangerous and dumb. Don't care if you are offended.

    the idea that all religions are dumb and dangerous is rather broadly painted. if we start with simple spirituality in the individual, there are no threats. just because several individuals with similar spiritualities collectivize does not necessarily pose a threat. however, when either, a) that collective concerns itself with the spirituality of others, or b) the collective organizes to the point of entering the political discourse for purposes of claiming social and/or economic resources, they can easily become dumb and dangerous.

    a bunch of hippies enjoying peace, love and liberty acting with kindness and humility in the interest of social justice is not really dangerous to anyone.

    Nope. All religion, personal or not, is more dangerous than cooking meth in a natural gas tank farm............

    I disagree with even your opening premise that simple spirituality in the individual is no threat. Anytime one is deluding themselves into thinking they have a special connection to "the universe," god, or spirits there is a risk of them taking action that is irrational and potentially dangerous. A lower risk when it is just an individual perhaps, but a risk all the same. I point you to the gentleman who recently threw his daughter from a bridge, "placing her in god's hands" as an example. Or any time someone does something terrible and simply says "god told me to." They were having a real (to them) and personal spiritual experience.

    There's a potential risk that I'll stab my waiter in his neck if he hands me a fork.

    There's a potential risk that thinking religion is delusional and dangerous might give someone the idea that violence toward religious people is acceptable.

    You study a science that essentially became a big deal because of earth worshipers. And apparently you aren't even good enough at it to get a paying gig. Don't care if you are offended.

    arrogance is dangerous. humility is not.
