People have been dancing around the faith/reason duality for more than 2000 years.  Aristotle worked out the rules of logic around 350 BCE, and Thomas Aquinas assumed the task of using them to prove the existence of God in the 13th Century CE. Descartes came along a couple of hundred years later, and made some improvements on all this, but we’re still left with very little.

As I told my nephew once when he was assigned a college paper on this, “You can’t have your metaphysical cake and eat it too. You either believe in things for which there is evidence, or you don’t.”

Moreover, as shown at left, faith runs headlong into logical inconsistencies.

A Few Idiots Believe the Left Really IS Radical

Published

The vast majority of Americans have liberal views. We favor a woman’s right to choose abortion, high-quality public education, affordable healthcare, clear air and water, the use of science in policymaking, equal rights for minority ethnicities and religions, and efforts to trim the enormous gap between rich and poor.

It would be very interesting to know what percentage of U.S. voters believe that liberals hate America, that we believe our country “is fundamentally evil and the only remedy is destroying our nation with mass migration (sic).”

Trump’s approval rating is about 30%, and a few percent of that is the amoral super-rich.  So, possibly it’s in the high 20s.

But aren’t there at least some MAGA folks who would concede that educated people don’t necessarily hate America?  My mother lived on a steady diet of Fox News, but even she had respect for Bernie Sanders, about whom she said, “I admire his sincerity, misguided though it is.”
