Just read article by Fr. Ed. Grace in today's Irish Times. The replies are infantile in the extreme. Obviously mainly posts by our atheist friends. There is no semblance of any kind of intellectual engagement of any sort. None of them are grounded in any kind of reality. It's just the usual vacuous mantras. It's as if they believe that if they keep repeating their inanities, eventually they might come true. One wonders what kind of education system produced such an assembly line of brain-dead clones. Extremely depressing.

That article by Fr Edmond Grace SJ is very good.

It's the last in a three-part series. Speaking of infantile atheists, did you see Donald Clarke's blather on Saturday suggesting that Dawkins and Co were obviously misguided since belief in God was so self-evidently false it's not worth refuting? A couple of the "sky fairy" brigade showed up in the letters column to declare that the mere existence fo denominational schools constituted oppression of atheists.

From an atheist perspective though, I can see the logic of Donald Clarke's point. Of course it relates to one of the many facts confirming that atheism is essentially reactionary in nature. For example, Dawkins, PZ Myers & co's. contributions generally consist of an adolescent anti-Catholicism, rather than a rationale for their atheist religion. If I were an atheist, like Donald Clarke, I would also be embarrassed at Dawkins/Myers approach. They might impress pimpled adolescents, but for most people of intellect they are fankly embarassing. Definitely not good for the atheist cause.

Not to mention that their argument that matter is self-evidently all that exists can't prove that matter exists either...
