Entry: I Confess: I Don't Understand Why Some Atheists Are So Angry Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/i_confess_i_dont_understand_why_some_atheists_are_so_angry#25959 Post contents: As far as the "angry atheists" mentioned by Tom in the above article, I don't know their reasons for their hatred of Christianity, but I can understand why many people these days look down on Christians with scorn. What should we expect when they see and hear neocons, who proclaim themselves to be Christian, Catholic, Jewish, etc., and then see these snakes lie us into war, call for nuclear murder, impose and create a spy and torture government in our own borders? What should we expect when they see and hear the small but vocal group of sedevacanist-monarchist-heretic groups who call themselves Catholic, yet defy church authority, and talk of crazy schemes of bringing forth an iron fisted "monarch", imposing their anti-natural law legalistic "morality", and hearing them proclaim their sympathy with fascism and National Socialists? What should we expect when they see and hear Christian fundamentalists, who call for, like the two above groups, a strong central government, a foreign policy to kill all Muslims and people with skin darker than an albino Geisha, and who hold some crazed end-times belief in a "rapture" and Jesus coming back blaring away with an M-16 firing on all people who don't think like them? Were it not for the fact that many years ago I properly taught myself the fundamentals of Orthodox Catholicism, and for the fact that we have a Pope who speaks out against the Iraq murder, I too may very well have grown cynical of what goes for "Christian" these days.
