A normal person (aka atheist) wrote this at the Wall Street Journal:
"...modern science rests on the foundation of Judeo-Christianity, with its belief in a rational God..." Nothing could be further from the truth, sir. Did the god of the Hebrew bible not "frequently [act] out of spite, jealousy or some other emotion"? And come on--ALL religions are based on magical thinking.
Religion will always, and as always, had to capitulate and move out of the way, when science shows something to be demonstrably true. The god in which/whom we were taught to believe is all powerful and all loving. You've heard it before, I'm sure; but the question rings, inadequately answered, throughout the centuries:
God is all powerful; god is all loving; god is good. So, if he could stop the Covid deaths (being all powerful) and doesn't, he isn't all loving and good. If he deeply wishes the agony and death would stop, but can't stop it, then he's not all powerful. Whence god?

What I wrote:
"And come on--ALL religions are based on magical thinking."
Well done. Every religion ever invented is a belief in magic. The Magic Man did it. The fantasies are childish, ridiculous, and they don't belong in the 21st century.
