But it's not surprising that this is the conception of God that atheists engage-- because fundamentalists have been vocal enough to set themselves up as the experts on God, and anyone who disagrees with their concepts is heretical. Most people I talk to seem to think that the fundamentalist version of Christianity is all there is. <br /><br />That said-- I think your final paragraph jumps out of the scholarly tone of the rest of the post, as well as being unclear. I think societies often do allow, or even sometimes even consist of, masses or movements of people using little forethought regarding the implications of ideas they espouse. Nor do I think people like Stenger are actually trying to set up a totalitarian regime.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252374623355509404noreply@blogger.com
