I have observed that the world has suffered far less from ignorance than from pretensions to knowledge. It is not skeptics or explorers but fanatics and ideologues who menace decency and progress. No agnostic ever burned anyone at the stake or tortured a pagan, a heretic, or an unbeliever.

In fact, most would prefer a Christian-based theocracy that would allow them to have absolute control of everything with severe punishment available to dole out to all dissidents who question their warped beliefs. |
