The Crisis Papers has an attack on religious (code word for Christian) fundamentalists by a "professional moral philosopher." The Taliban prescribed certain modes of belief, actions and dress and proscribed all others. Mr. Partridge's cutesy little piece on the evils of the religious is just another attack by the American Taliban on other religions.
The god of secularism is a jealous god. It will have no others before it. Today's unrelenting assault on freedom of religion comes not from the greatly feared Christian fundamentalists, it comes from the secularists who want no expression of religion and are determined to stamp out evey vestige.
Mr. Patridge styles himself as a "professional moral philosopher." I know that professional engineers, doctors, lawyers and the like achieve their professional status through eductation, experience and certification by examination. They must (except maybe for lawyers) perform their functions by a strict code of professional behavior or risk decertification. I wonder if "professional moral philosophers" work under the same set of standards, or can I claim that status by simply continuing to write drivel like this and getting an income form it?
