As I witness our culture becoming more and more "sophisticated", I am concerned about the increasingly simplistic and intolerant portrayal of those who do not conform to "modern morality". Anyone who does not follow the contemporary mindset is viewed as callow and naive. For example, they consider those who believe in God as gullible beings who mindlessly follow some dogma. To substantiate this assertion, these "enlightened" souls give "evidence", such as, stating that all religious people believe the earth was created in only seven days. Really! Is this the assertion of wise, knowledgeable, experienced people? It sounds more like sophistry than sophistication to me!
