Quote of the Day

Something worth thinking about when religious people are dismissed as ignorant or stupid:

"If religion is the opiate of the people, utopianism is the methamphetamine of the modern intellectual...It offers a vision of the world in which they are omnipotent...One can argue that the so-called education gap is really an 'indoctrination gap.' The wide consensus among the better educated...is not proof that thy have been taught to think for themselves, but evidence that they have been programmed to think alike."
---Lee Harris in The Next American Civil War
