Even in those days when I was too “high-minded” to be bothered with such a quaint concept as “religion,” I hesitated to call myself an atheist. The logical contradiction inherent in the atheist’s mockery of faith, contrasted with his staunch faith in the absence of God never agreed with my solid logical formation. For all their worship of logic and reason, it’s very difficult to find an atheist capable of a truly logical argument – most of them seem more interested in the legalization of marijuana.
As it turns out, they’re also cowards. Catholic Online has made it known that atheists at the Center of Inquiry have designated tomorrow as “International Blasphemy Day.” They followed their announcement with a bunch of vague and muddy-minded swill, which we’ll ignore. The jist is that they know God exists, hate Him, and want to test their luck dodging lightening bolts tomorrow.
But why did I call them cowards? Well you see, the majority of their public “reasoning” for having this day of blasphemy actually stemmed from problems caused by Muslims, not Christians. They have cited the Muslim-sponsored UN resolution banning the criticizing of religion, the violent Muslim reactions to cartoons in a Danish newspaper portraying Mohammed in a comical light, and others. But when one looks at the events scheduled for tomorrow – why, there’s not one anti-Muslim event, or even so much as an anti-Muslim statement scheduled. Gosh darnit, it’s all anti-Christian – and most heavily anti-Catholic! I’ll be damned. Why, we ask? You don’t think it’s because these stupid pot-smoking bastards know that Christians don’t shoot you when you mock them and blaspheme their God, do you? Whereas Muslims – well, you know.
There’s more to it than that, of course. From a spiritual perspective, it’s easy to see the demonic influence behind such an event, and demons know Islam poses them no threat. Since they guide and direct the minds of the folks who put this event together, they’ll see to it that their malice is directed against the real enemy.
So much for the triumph of reason.
