I also find Christianity to be morally repugnant. The concepts of original sin, depravity, substitutionary forgiveness, intolerance, eternal punishment, and humble worship are all beneath the dignity of intelligent human beings and conflict with the values of kindness and reason. They are barbaric ideas for primitive cultures cowering in fear and ignorance.

When I first encountered [Slaughterhouse-Five] in high school, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. But it sure made me think, which, in my view, is what a good novel should do. Funny thing about that thinking – some people see it as dangerous.
