Comments on: Penn & Teller; The Bible is Bullshit http://www.thecivicplatform.com/2008/04/05/penn-the-bible-is-bullshit/ The Civic Platform has been launched to discuss and debate issues related to the West viewed as a cultural compound of Greco-Roman, Christian, and Germanic past. We firmly believe that race informs culture and is a necessary precondition for cultural identity and integrity. Hence, this political vehicle is dedicated to the preservation of the ethnic genetic interests (EGI) of people of European ancestry. Furthermore, since the West faces a demographic crisis of unprecedented proportions (for example, in 1950 Whites represented 30 percent of the world's population. This number will plummet to 8 percent by 2050), we hold that the current trends threatening the racial, historical, and cultural identities of people of European ancestry must be stopped and reversed, if the West is to survive and endure as a distinct racial, historical, and cultural entity.

There are former atheists like myself who know all the arguments -- who even invested countless hours trying to convince the world -- who have returned to religion's fold. Like it or not, the mass of men people need God/gods/spiritualism. As it happens, there seems to be just enough rational reason on their side to make belief in God plausible; once plausibility is secured, it's a short hop, step and a jump to dogmas, however skeptical one may remain about ever embracing them wholly and wholeheartedly.

They make their livings titillating drunk gamblers in Vegas. Why should I care what they think?
