Frustrated rambling. Huzzah!

It should be considered no less than a national embarrassment that Canada's largely secular nature is undermined so surely by our recognizing "god" as the source of our rights and freedoms. I never thought I'd say it, but the USA really does have our asses kicked on this one.

Kinda apropos of nothing, but I struggle with how best to articulate the message, to do my part, so to speak, that down the road of faith and deference to the imaginary lies... damnation. Poor choice of word, perhaps, but I can't see how faith can be reconciled with knowledge, given its antithetical nature.

My part... I want to find a proper channel for my anger, to make the sort of positive difference I know I'm capable of, to do my small part in getting my fellow countrymen to embrace education and lessen the impact of religiosity. I know that "my" way is better, but how to reason people out of positions which they did not come to by it? I don't know.
