"Loopy". What exactly does that mean? Manic with a Jerry Lewis twist? Ok...that works :+)
I'm catching up with some back reading this week - 2 months of National Catholic Reporters. I'm not sure how they got away from me this bad! Fortunately, between the subway ride to Penn Station and the Amtrak ride home from Philly, I can finish off one paper.
Tonight there was an article about a play that was in NYC (ended March 8th) - the price you pay for not keeping up with your reading! The playwright is A.C. Grayling (a Brit), a writer and philosopher. Entitled, "Grace," it premiered in London in 2006.
Anywho...he is quoted as saying something I found intriguing, particularly in light of my last journal entry: "Religious belief of all kinds shares the same intellectual respectability, evidential base and rationality as belief in the existence of fairies." Interesting, isn't it?

Maybe the writer is correct, but the statement is not based upon evidence. Anything a person didn't like could be substituted for the term "religious belief." Words like Patriotism, Liberalism, Atheism, Naturalism, because the writer is expressing an opinion, not making a rational argument.
