Society is losing the plot, says Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks

I think what he's saying is we need to get away from medieval thinking and being to consider the long view, but it could be some exposition from a badly translated 8 bit JRPG.

equating trust and faith is typically predictable, but still wrong. Why do heads of religious organisations think they are qualified to make rational arguments?

Why do you? I may find your arguments suspect, but you're as qualified as the next person. Capable or apt are separate matters.

The problem is that religions leaders actually think they are qualified to make rational/intelligent arguments. They aren't. They are qualified in bullshitting. And the quality of their argumentation reflects that. Like yours.

Then I'm in good company in understanding the language I use.

Cito is my favourite poster from that place!

[pErvinalia]

Yeah, we know..
