I find it hard to have faith in anyone

Back when I was a kid, I used to love Earthworm Jim. It was my favourite game and cartoon.
Now there's a thing about this, the guy who created the characters is called Doug Tennapel, and he just so happens to be one of the worst christian fundamentalist conservative bloggers in existence.

This is just so disturbing. The cult like mentality on these blogs, the "us and them" attitude... it's hard to respect a guy like that. And he wastes all his creativity by shoving it into all his recent works to the point where they're unreadable unless you're a fundie who believes socialists and homosexuals will destroy the world with giant monsters.
He reads like a typical Harmony Central Political Party guy, like Echoes or koti.
As Johnathan Swift once said, "You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place."
There's just so much of this sickness and I don't see it going away. It's far from the only sickness either. People are just unreasonable to the core.
I can't really think of any positive role models I have. Of course, that makes you go down the WELL JUST HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF :D route. But when you think about that a bit, having faith in yourself, and ONLY yourself is a very lonely existence that can't lead to anything good.
