douglas rushkoff: Faith = Illness. Why I’ve had it with religious tolerance. – “I think it’s time to get serious about the role God plays in human affairs, and evaluate whether it’s appropriate to let everyone in on the bad news: God doesn’t exist, never did, and the closest thing we’ll ever see to God will emerge from our own collective efforts at making meaning.” there! rushkoff is also speaking about his comic book:
