Well not really, unless you consider me heretic, which I’m sure many do.

In any case, I was somewhat surprised that The Peak published my response to Lisa Freeman’s All Deserve Respect, which itself is a response to Graham Templeton’s article Religion Never Changes. I was expecting a much more fearful press – like high school papers (which I am all too familiar with) – that tiptoes around anything that might have the slightest chance of being taken as offensive. I guess it was naive of me to think that, judging form the numerous other controversial articles that The Peak publishes. An actually independent press, how wonderful! This is one of the reasons I like university.

With that said, The Peak did make some small edits to sentence structures here and there, which improved the readability in some places, and diminished the flow in others. The content remained untouched (and rightly so). But for anyone interested in reading the original unedited version, it is available from my archive.

Or to view it directly: Religion Deserves no Respect

I suspect there will be no shortage of ad hominems in the next issue of The Peak.
