Atheism bringing about the Christian ideal of loving thy neighbor??? Oh well, at least Dunphy admitted that it was a "Christian" ideal. I'll give him that much. But honestly - atheism engendering love for one's neighbor? Kinda like it did in the Ukraine in the 1930s?? Or in China's great leap forward? Or at the Kolyma camps, or Auschwitz or Dachau? Yeah, the atheist regimes really poured on the love in the 20th century, huh? NOT........... I won't take a crack at anyone's personal beliefs here, because it isn't necessary for the purposes of this rant. What I WILL do is call for a sane examination of the historical facts. I wonder how many more decades and deaths it will take before the atheists finally decide to get honest about the end result of THEIR religious zeal and admit that they haven't done any better than the Catholics with the Inquisition or the Calvinists with their stocks. There is no extra intellectual sophistication in the act of embracing atheism as opposed to Christianity. Lack of honesty and intellectual rigor stinks on either side of the fence. Dunphy obviously doesn't know the history of openly atheist governments of the 20th century, or else, like many of his fellow atheists, he choses to ignore it, or even worse, quietly support it (which, by the way, many of them do).
