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
