Speechless

“Reasonable” People — The League of Ordinary Gentlemen:
"Likewise, I do not see how it is the mark of an inherently unreasonable person to trust his interpretation of a holy book over the product of the scientific method. Faith is experienced, and it is experienced personally in different ways by different people of different religions. The scientific method, for the most part, is not experienced in recognizable ways by many people. Would only someone who is inherently unreasonable trust their faith as actually experienced by them over a product of the scientific method?"

I think that this shows the problem with a particular kind of mindset. I am glad that the author calls it laziness because that is precisely what it is.
