I’m sorry for the bitterness in my voice guys but beleive me, I’m really, really angry and disgusted by the ignorant and ahteful comments made by atheists on you tube. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t beleive all atheists are fanatical and hateful as I’ve certainly met those who were fair and unbiased but man oh man do thse make me angry.
I spoke with two of them and according to one, Christopher Hitchens, one of the msot notorious and hateful atheists out there, said that religious people didn’t really do good because their intentions were only made out of fear of God and if they did do good, lsiten to this, then it was only done despite of religion. So none of the Saints and Priests who opposed slavery, converted and thaught all their subjects good morals and the Catholic faith did these acts because they had a sincere belief that these people needed to be saved? Is it possible that Saint Euphrasia Pelletier thought outside of rleigion when she helped former prostitutes? What about Maximilian Kolbe and Pius XII who both sheltered so many Jews from the Nazis? Didn’t the idea of the value of human life, which their own religion teaches have anything to do with their actions?
Whats angers me so much is that they don’t acknowledge at all that atheists did evil things in the past because their own atheism permitted them to do them. I have nothing against nice atheists or even those who criticize religion but at the same time are open to it na dat least acknowledge that it can be a good source of good; I don’t even believe tht all atheists are immoral or even the maority of them but I hate to break it to you people but atheists have no moral authority save that which they choose and really, this must also be applied to undevout Catholics, Muslims and Jews who are so in name only. Catholics for the Right of Choice anyone? There are atheists who support abortion and others, like Hitchens (who still thinks Mark vs. Waid shouldn’t be overturned), some who genuinely respect religion, others like Dawkins who spit on the good intentions of religious. But the atrocities commited by them in the name of ‘freedom’ and ‘progress’, such as those of Napoleon, Garibaldi & Victor Emmanuel, the French Revolution, the numerous communist persecutions shouldn’t be ignored. They show that atheism doesn’t make you a good person or superior in morality and that they themselves can be worse than the ‘fanatics’ that commited alot of bad things in the past.
I just had to speak I was so angry. Whats worse is that unike Catholicism, atheists have no moral authority so if they choose to do good they do it because they genuinely care for people and because they were brought up good, just like how devout and good Catholics are brought up to be good by good, devout parents. Of course, Hitchens spits on the goodness and intentions of all the good that Catholics and even Muslims and Jews did in the past and present. What has he done? Sure, he may have given cash to some charities, nothing wrong with that but compared to the actions of missionaries such as Francis Xavier and John Bosco, what has he to offer? He’s been what, speaking against religion for 30 years now? What has he changed? Did his deconverting people from their faiths made them any saintlier or more moral than they were before? What has he changed? Has he changed any government laws? If religion is so pisonous, why not advocate banning proselytism if its so bad? He may have his fans, scholars may read his stupid works but culturally and morally, he’s invisible and after he passes away he’ll be seen as jsut another commentator who gave jack to society.
