“Can’t that just be a choice, too?”
No. Absolutely Not if they can help it. Bill should be smart enough to see where this is going.
I’ve found it interesting, I’ve known some reasonably intelligent people over the years who were atheist. It’s even mind if trendy, when people are young from the standpoint of rebellion against parents. But overall thoughtful atheists seemed to be OK generally, at least outwardly.
Now what we are seeing today is more along the lines of what I would call anti-theists. These are people that actively hate God. And they are willing to do anything to show that.
You can usually explain or get an atheist to acknowledge that living in a society with a strong Judao-Christian heritage with our rule of law, property rights, presumption of innocence for the accused, etc etc, all sorts of things we take for granted, this is a pretty good gig.
I think maybe Bill is finally figuring out, that without the civilizing influence of Christianity then society breaks down. “If You Don’t Believe In Something, You’ll Fall For Anything”.
I see a lot of broken people out there. That will never get fixed.
I wonder if he may have been influenced by Richard Dawkins’ recent comments about the upside of living in a Christian culture.
those nuns need to get the cobb out of their collective asses. Who is running that joint? It seems a bunch of loud mouths.
I think both bill and yourself have it figured. Bill, w/o mentioning their screaming hatred of Christianity; yourself, w/o emphasizing that Christianity is probably 90% of the lefties' angst and ennui.
Huh?!
