David Lawrence is smacking around some of his fellow atheists:
Hey, why am I reading in the New York Post about a group called American Atheists? I mean, I was born in 1947 and was an atheist by the time I was seven. I was a long-term predecessor to these ingrates.
The difference between me and the clowns at American Atheists is that I have always had respect for
the religious. I feel they are more a part of the fabric of this country than I am, and that I have no right to belittle their beliefs. In fact I wish I could share in their faith. It’s not just in my genetics. Also I do not want to insult the dead of 9/11 by starting lawsuits and arguments over who has the right to do whatever.
The atheists are challenging plans to include the famous Ground Zero Cross in a display at the national memorial museum.
I don’t see how the truculent atheists think they deserve a place for a symbol of atheism. They want a plaque dedicated to nothingness. That would be like me going into the Museum of Modern Art and telling them that I deserve to hang one of my pictures next to Picasso’s in the name of some moronic idea of fairness. I can’t paint. They can’t believe. Does it matter?
Fairness? One of the favorite words of the unfair. Obama’s mantra. Communism’s plea.
Atheism. The lack of values that led to slaughters by the fascists and the communists.
Let the dead rest in peace. Don’t let the atheists degrade the holiness of the silence of 9/11 victims with their raucous courtroom antics.
It seems that atheists are constantly putting their soulless shoes in their mouths.
There's more. It's worthy.
The piece comes our way via Mark Shea who wants more guys like the author. I'll personally take more like our very own tim aka The Godless Heathen.
Atheists with more brains than chutzpah... or at least an ability to restrain their chutzpah, that's what we need. Instead we seem to be getting more and more militants. Not a good thing.
Carry on.
