Reply #197: OK, and not OK

OK, I agree that ID should not be taught in science class. That's a given (for me, at least)

But the specifics of the post I responded to involved whether it was irrational to believe in God. Look at the context. The person was feeling offended that it was implied (or outright stated) that belief in God was irrational.

You countered with a belief system that I suspect was intended to get the poster to say "That's just crazy, NO ONE believes in Zeus" or something to that affect. (Am I wrong?)

But I'm going to push this point. I DO NOT agree that belief in a deity is irrational, even if your belief involves the Greek Pantheon.

I know MANY people who worship Demigods (Hindu demigods, but demigods nonetheless). If you told these people about the Greek pantheon, they would immediately recognize several of the deities they worship (under different names).

I don't believe those people to be irrational, just wrong. It would be hypocritical of me to suggest otherwise about you.

I think someone owes that other poster an apology.

Disagree, but don't insult. :)
