For some reason the New York Times let a fucktard priest write an article about his fucktard religion.

Comments several people wrote at the New York Times about the idiotic disgusting Catholic death cult:

The Bible is hardly a useful guide to modern life. It seems gratuitous to point out that it begins with a series of lies that more rational believers now wave off as metaphor, but were, for 2000 years, taken literally, under pain of death, in some cases. It then leads us through a family saga of war, genocide, slavery and incest.

The New Testament introduces the grotesque theory of atonement by human sacrifice. This is topped only by the morally bankrupt theory of salvation by grace. Serial killers and pedophiles, get your absolution here.

These backward notions still lead our less enlightened leaders to implement public policy based not on evidence but on superstition, often harming millions.

So when a priest offers me guidance on 21st century life, I am not sure if I should be outraged or amused.

Millions and millions of people around the globe do not care what the Bible says about anything and believe it is nothing but a book of fabulous fairy tales written by people thousands of years ago who had very little knowledge of science and the reality of how the world works. Their answer to their ignorance was it must be the invisible, omnipotent and imaginary Sky Daddy. That goes for every god that man has created since the beginning of time.

Depending on the writings of bronze age goat herders to inform or guide your life, world events or government policy seems, well, just plain stupid.

Science asks: "What does the evidence say?" If there's no evidence, science makes no claims. Religion says: "I don't need evidence. I know the answer."
