The trouble with many writers, including Morford (and I would expect nothing else), is that in the process of saying many useful things, they manage to insult the people who most need to hear them, thus negating much of the usefulness.

Folks of a liberal mindset are likely already to agree -- although I would hope they aren't as narrow-minded as Mark, who demonstrates anything but an ecumenical attitude.

However, those who might be slightly swayed toward a new way of thinking see remarks like "the obvious, sour religious outhouses of evangelical Christianity and fundamentalist Islam and rigid Catholicism" and either stop reading, or continue with a bias toward looking for errors rather than truths.

Like most of Morford's writing, his underlying anger at many things comes through. While interesting, it was hardly of much use -- to anybody.

I find him tedious, and that's precisely why. The anger. It's so wasteful.
