# I'm a firm believer in being rude to the religious.
Being religious isn't clever, and the tradition of giving respect to religion is an error.
I wouldn't be respectful if you sincerely claimed to believe in something equally ridiculous that you'd made up yourself, I'd call you a twat. 'Stop saying that, you twat, it's idiotic,' I'd say. Hence, that's what I say to religion.

# A little knowledge
is a dangerous thing.

I'd recommend reading some Karl Popper on the philosphy of science, then go read about Bishop Berkeley's ideas on subjective idealism, it's not as cut and dried as you think.

Or alternatively, just continue to be rude of those who see the world in a different way than yourself.

# I have read some of Karl Popper on the philosophy of science.
*pats Unended Quest*
What are you saying? I'm down with Popper: 1) we are perpetually wrong, 2) there exists an objective truth to grope towards. Berkley, on the other hand, can go kick some rocks.
