“A threat for man and for the world”

Posted on Friday November 30, 2007 at 2:34 pm.

This has to be a joke, right? That the Catholics are blaming atheism for cruelty and injustice?

Because, you know, the atheists launched crusades and an inquisition against believers, wiping them out by the thousands, and continue to cause suffering and death by giving AIDS education backed up by science instead of education backed up by a zombie carpenter and a man in Rome in a pointy hat. Need I go on? (These are just a few of the more egregious examples I could think of in my rage. And not even mentioning the hate and harm that comes from other religions.)

Not to mention that atheists’ morality comes from intrinsic good instead of the fear of damnation and promise of heaven, of course.

The amazing part is that he’s not just attacking nonbelief— he’s attacking human rationality itself! It’s a little sickening, especially since so many millions of people will take this as gospel, so to speak. That’s a threat for the world.

(I do like this comment from the richarddawkins.net forum: “Wonder why he singled out Marxism ahead of Nazism? Oh yes, I remember.”)
