Folks, my better known blogging colleague, Carl Olson, has deconstructed the latest attack against the Church by the eminently brilliant scientist, Richard Dawkins, and “comedian” Bill Maher in passing. Olson’s conclusion should be considered by Dawkins et al.:
Dawkins seems to have the same obsessive desire for attention and Catholic-bashing as does Maher and John Spong. Here is what I suggest they might consider doing for their next publicity stunt: they should stage a mock "same sex" marriage with Dawkins as the groom and Maher and Spong as the brides. Charles Schumer and Arlen Specter should "officiate"; Shumer can dress up like Charles Darwin and Specter can dress up like a former Republican senator. Elton John can sing "It Ain't Gonna Be Easy." The wedding should be held right outside the doors of a major mosque, preferably in Saudi Arabia or another Muslim country. The event can be televised live on MSNBC and the Science Channel.
Why not make it a foursome faux wedding and throw the redoubtable bigot and suspected hate criminal PZ Myers in the mix. Apparently he needs to take a break from his great contributions to modern science and from the boredom provoked by the constant adulation received from his sycophantic followers, since he has threatened to desecrate another supposedly consecrated host from his “stash of holy crackers”.
As to “hurting Jesus” by desecrating an alleged consecrated-host, PZ Myers and company can neither add nor subtract from any of the pains and humiliations that He suffered in His Passion. Their gross simplifications of Catholic belief reveal them as the base, hate-filled benighted souls that they are.
Anyway, a great post from Carl. Read it all here.
Where’s a Spanish Inquisition when you need one.
PING!
