Contradictory memes only have problems co-existing in an environment
which is ruled by the "logical compatibility" meme. The idea of non-
contradiction has become so entrenched in my personal belief system
that I often forget that it is a relatively recent addition (within
the last 5 years or so) and apparently hold little sway in the meme-
spaces of most people.
Even people who host the logic meme for the most part of their daily
lives can simultaneouly host a theistic meme with the addition of
one other meme, a sort of escape clause: God is beyond (outside of,
above) logic. This simple addition makes their religious beliefs
immune to any and all rational arguments so it is hardly surprising
to find it is quite pervasive in our culture.
