I used to like Asimov a lot when I was a teenager. Then I grew up.

Read him again. You clearly missed the nuances.

People who bash the good doctor are like people who bash Norman Rockwell. They do it because they are elitist snobs who equate readability with accessibility.

Reread the robot series and particularly the R. Daneel series. In that day it was almost impossible to write a SF mystery without using technology as a crutch ("oh ho, I saw the crime on my spy-a-scope!"). Asimov was the bridge (along with Campbell) between the BEM era and the modern speculative fiction era.

ps: If you don't know what I mean by BEM you are not entitled to an opinion since you are a SF novitiate.

I still like Asimov, but when he talks about religion it is important to know he was a secular huminist and an atheist. We all have our hotbuttons and I believe religion was his.
