Reason is not a left-wing passing fancy.

Nor is it something that was discovered in the Enlightenment. Just ask Plato and Aristotle. Or St. Augustine, or St. Justin Martyr; or St. Thomas Aquinas; or St. Anselm of Canterbury.

I think if you have a problem, CG, it is this: You do not know the human past, so you cannot value it.

Two pagans.

I understand the past, and I value it. It's very presumptuous of you to tell me what I value or don't value. Par for the course. I also value the present, and the future. I value reason. I value evidence.
