Tell me what was so amusing, please, for the humor impaired like me.
"He fails to recognize that there was a time when almost all of our great leaders, scientists and philosophers not only believed in God, but were downright pious."
Except for the use of the past tense you sound like you are talking about the present Republican administration. What value has this 'piety' and 'belief' accrued to the world? Please do tell. Iraq? Fewer terrorists?
"The Bible, the Talmud and the Koran were the first and probably (only probably? What you have doubt?) most important literature to almost every great thinker since the Dark Ages. If you are not willing to accept that simple truth, then how can you have an intellectual conversation regarding this subject."
Well, I have to concede the point that the Dark Ages were pretty bad and thank Lordy-man for those three jewels of prose. 'Accept these simple truths' and THEN 'have an intellectual conversation'?
I am thinking you are a joke poster, a (fake) fakir, a muse-savant with this gem of a statement. Please go back to Church and find your true voice - for the one you have now is embarassing.

Religion as taboo?
