"The author lays out his premise from the start, and clearly is addressing only a certain subset of atheists…The premise is not false. Neither is the author an idiot. "

The title is false. You'd understand if the article was entitled: What has Religion Done For Us Lately , and the first sentence was:

"I have a question for those who believe the religion that inspired killing of tens of thousands of innocents at the WTC is to be recommended over an appreciation of a more rational way of life."
I have no problem with anyone's religion as long as it values the welfare of its members. But if the moron who wrote this is going to slander all atheist in the title, only to start discussing something or someone else in the first sentence, then I'll point out what an idiot he is. You see, thickheaded newbies like Norvokov still don’t get it.

WILL THERE BE A NUCLEAR WORLD HOLOCAUST?
a book by Dr. Desmond Ford.

In the light of the events of September 11, the words of Jesus, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, . . ." (Matthew 5:43) have to be seen not as nice little aphorisms to be framed and hung on a wall, but as urgent "life or death" imperatives for us to be more like God, who make the sun to rise on the evil and the good (Matthew 5:45).

This little volume by Desmond Ford examines the nuclear peril in the light of the radical love of God expressed in Jesus. It is full of faith and hope. For example: "The problem is not the nuclear weapons. It is the nuclear man. No one would be worried about nuclear war if Mother Theresa was put in charge of the nuclear weapons. It's not the hardware, it's the heartware." "The bomb is limited in its range. The worst it can do can only last until the resurrection."

The title is falseAgain, that may well be the case. But again, neither I nor the author gave the title to this piece. The newspaper gave the title to draw readers into an ongoing debate between those who uphold Judeo-Christian morality and beliefs and those who disdain them, in State college PA, home of PSU.
