On a side note, one wonders exactly what horrible things come to pass in the lives of those who are stupid enough to steal sacred objects from churches. I imagine life is not pleasant for them. Not long ago, someone stole the tabernacle from our Church. We never recovered it, and while I know I ought to be praying for their salvation and all that, I admit I recieved a bit of pleasure in the thought that their life is likely a living hell because of it. Assuming they didn’t meet an untimely Final Destination-ish death.

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.
