A Parable for Religious People
I am staunchly secular and so are most of the people I know. I respect other peoples’ choice to follow a religion as long as they do not try and force their beliefs onto me.
One of the most powerful polemic pieces on mainstream religions I have ever read is the parable named “Kissing Hank’s Ass“, written by James Huber. The story uses simple down-to-earth language, but indirectly addresses many philosophical concepts, such as:
- Identifying circular arguments
- Occam’s Razor
- Pascal’s Wager
- Evidence for the afterlife
- Contradictions in religious scriptures
- Religious restrictions on sexual behaviour
