Further to the review of The Missionary Myth

Here is an advertisement for Pious Al Mohler’s radio show, in this morning’s e-mail:

On today’s program, Dr. Mohler discusses the importance of raising your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord

From the Oxford English Dictionary’s definition of ‘admonition:’

An act of admonishing; a warning, reproof; an utterance or statement of grave counsel or censure, esp. of ecclesiastical censure.

In short, the importance of keeping your kid feeling guilty and in fear of the Invisible Wizard Who Lives in the Sky … the very thing I described as a self-perpetuating sickness. The sickness is not, as Holy Men insist, man’s innate depravity; it is the teachings and the ascetic, anti-life ideals that drive them.
