the fact is that it is no longer necessary and we can get all of the good- ethics, meaning, awe, mystery- without the bad. My view is pragmatic- religion does more harm than good and we would be a lot better off without it. It's outlived its usefulness. Let's move on.

As to Dennis Prager, I once debated him on his radio show and he did all sorts of tricks with cutting to commercials when I was scoring points and contradicting his own statements- he is a master manipulator who has a few good threads but weaves it into a largely illusory web of rhetoric and spin. This was purely on display as he never once answered any of Sam's substantive points. If he thinks universities in America produce foolishness he should move to a country where education isn't of this caliber and see the state those countries are in- does he think America would be what it is today if we relied on wheat and cars? What is he smoking?
