...hyper-rationalist radical secularism reduces the world to one’s own life span. Why try to ‘settle disputes’ when you’ll be long gone? Faith is one of those mystic cords that binds us to our past and commits us to a future. And NOT just commitment to an "otherwordly" or heavenly future: but to the future of the human race in this world, which we have in and through our children.
It seems not a few left progressives have problems with narcissism and solipsistic thinking.... It's all about "me, me, me!!!" You can't build a civil society out of garbage like that. FWIW
Thanks for the ping to Steyn's outstanding article bondserv. He's one of my favorite writers.

Thanks for the ping to Steyn's outstanding article bondserv. He's one of my favorite writers. I enjoy Steyn as well. He has a parabolic method of enhancing the ideas that are truth! IMO, Christlike in confounding the wise with his deep moral rudder!
