Well, this brings back some unpleasant memories.

As a graduate student (at the University of Toronto no less!) I waded through this nonsense for 12 long months. I was never entirely sure I was bright enough to be there in the first place and so was routinely brought to tears of frustration by Lacan, Irigaray, and others.

I'm sorry to say that it never occurred to me at the time that I might be reading the work of fakes. That knowledge would have saved me some heartache.

Quotes of Note:

"Most people can't bear to sit in church for an hour on Sundays. How are they supposed to live somewhere very similar to it for eternity?"

Mark Twain

"Religious people split into three main groups when faced with science. I shall label them the "know-nothings", the "know-alls", and the "no-contests""

Richard Dawkins

"Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration--courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth."

H.L. Mencken

"There are, however, exceptions to this reliance on feelings as evidence of truth: if, for instance, your feelings lead to disbelief instead of belief, they're apt to be dismissed as some form of denial. This is not a common problem. Usually intellectualism, not "feeling reality," is blamed for disbelief. But, some angel experts suggest, there may be emotional as well as intellectual barriers to belief: unwillingness to believe in angels can reflect low self-esteem."

Wendy Kaminer

"...when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong."

Richard Dawkins
