Op-Ed Contributor: Reasonable Doubt: "Baruch Spinoza's life and thought have the power to illuminate the kind of events that at the moment seem so intractable and overwhelming."
An interesting piece on religious intolerance. Now some people will claim that I'm intolerant of religious people. I'll admit I feel a certain contempt for believers who have contempt for non-believers. But this is purely a defensive reaction. I have never advocated elimination of marriage rights to believers or abolishing of church groups or churches.
