blogolobA moving ‘Encounter on a bus’ tale, followed by a philosophical debate that (I think) goes something like:
Believer: “I was motivated by my religious beliefs to perform that act of bravery.”
Person hostile to religion: “No. Religions are crap so it must have been something else.”
Here, Norm explains that the first statement may be given more weight than the second.
Reminds me of:
Person hostile to religion: “Religions have been responsible for more death and destruction than anything else.”
Other person: “What about Stalinism, Nazism, Maoism?”
Person hostile to religion: “Well they’re really religions too”.
