but everything you say there makes no sense to me.
1. makes a point of assessing the text from the most obtuse perspective as possible...
where did you get that idea?
2. stands on the shoulders of midgets...
who are these midgets? Dawkins? What's wrong with the things Parenti says about jealous, vengeful, unforgiving, etc. god?
3. neocon revisionism....
i dont' get that one.
4. a cottage industry out of the obvious....
yes, his entire book is about the bad crap done in the name of religion -- for parenti, religion is used as a cover or figleaf. and this troubles you why? i still don't grasp your problem here.
