Al Martinez on CA Prop 8
#1
Martinez is one of my all time favorite columnists, he's in the twilight of his career and now only publishes a weekly column in the LA Times.

I am fascinated by the rigidity of his thought process, and in those rare moments when we argue about God and evolution it feels less like a Darrow-Bryan debate than it does like someone monologuing on the existence of an entity no one has ever seen. Only if Harvey would actually trot God out of a back room and introduce him in person to an audience of atheists would I say you're right, man, you win; there is a God.

I'm more pantheist than theist, which includes believing there is something almost godlike in the glory of rain and sunset, in love and an aqua ocean, and in little children and puppies. If there turns out to be more than one god, well that's OK too. I'll go back to being a Catholic and we can all march together to kingdom come. wrote:

As a devout agnostic, I can go along with that.

Al is one of my faves too. Tearing down the walls. Ripping up the uptight.

Vote for Snort.
