Why it would be better if moderates didn't have a belief in a transcendent reality (even if it is unlikely to be real)? This I cannot fathom. Why it would be better if moderates didn’t have a belief in a transcendent reality (even if it is unlikely to be real)?

Moderates are practically lazy hypocrites refusing to admit how crazy, illogical and/or cruel their religion really is. While fundies admit to their craziness, unfortunately willing to fight, die and/or kill for it. Nina:”(…) at least the fundies are more honest in saying it’s all gospel”

True words have never been spoken! Moderates are practically lazy hypocrites refusing to admit how crazy, illogical and/or cruel their religion really is. While fundies admit to their craziness, unfortunately willing to fight, die and/or kill for it.

You yourself are one rabid example of that. It's all the same crazy based on same superstition, really. @crusader rabid — christians are just as fundamentalist as muslims.

Marcu Brigstock addresses this very well in his speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY-ZrwFwLQg (I hope you haven't heard this before/ don't mind me posting this. It's very funny, true, and relevant to this comic!) @bodach

With hardly a pause Bertie replied that he would say "Why didn't you provide more evidence?" On a related note- Rebecca Goldstein's new "36 Arguments for the Existence of God" is very funny, of relevance to JaMers ad should keep Author in new ideas for another 400 strips. Best.

I think it also means that on some level, they have doubt - and thus, there's hope - because they can't even justify the beleif to themselves. @mateogg

I mean why else would these peple be Christians? If these same people were born in Suadi Arabia, China, etc they would be Muslim, Buddists etc. I've used this before to fundi's and get the glazed look as well. @mateogg – I like to refer to it as geographically lucky.

After all there is a big difference between "I accept that there is a god" and "I must follow the Bible".
