Surviving all the atheist tirade
VITHAL C NADKARNI


TIMES NEWS NETWORK[


Hey Big Chief in the Clouds, art thou listening? Wannabe secularists
have been feeling extremely frisky recently: amongst the first off
the mark, Daniel Dennett, the bearded chronicler of evolution of
freedom, titled his salvo, Breaking the Spell.


The Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins, who likes to call himself
Darwin's Rottweiler, followed up with his tome, God Delusion. Around
the same time, the writer Sam Norris bolstered the anti-God tirade
with his middlebrow Letters to a Christian Nation and other work.


A more recent voice baying for His blood is the British American
scribe Christopher Hitchens whose God Is Not Great has debuted at
the coveted Numero Uno spot of the NY Times bestseller list. (The
quality of his invective can be gauged from his reaction to the
death of John Paul II, a man he dismissed as "an elderly and
querulous celibate, who came too late and who stayed too long.")


Going by the title alone, the latest entrant in this god-baiting
series is The Atheist's Bible, compiled by former Columbia School of
Journalism dean Joan Konner.


Don't expect though a rationalist's tromp through the Garden of
Eden, with a New Age story of Eve coming out stem cell jugglery
from Neo Adam's left rib! What Konner has done instead is to
organise hundreds of aphorisms and excerpts to "sway an uncertain
mind, that is a mind uncertain about both God's existence and
whether it wants to spend valuable summer time ploughing through
unholy, read unbelieving, troika of Dennett, Dawkins and Hitchens".


So the tome is being touted by one reviewer as the atheism beach
book of this summer, something that "permits you to feel like a
high- achieving apostate every 20 seconds while you build up
strength for serious blasphemy when cooler weather returns".


Here's a sampling: Long before Hitchens and Co sharpened their
styles against religion, listen to what was said by Emile Zola
("Civilisation will not attain to its perfection until the last
stone from the last church falls on the last priest.") and Victor
Hugo ("Every step that the intelligence of Europe has taken in
spite of the clerical party.").


Which is milder than Voltaire's definition of the Bible and Thomas
Paine's denunciation as "a book of lies and contradictions". But all
that hasn't been enough to kill belief, as Konner admits in this
epitaph at the end of her book: "Here lies an atheist/ all dressed
up/ and no place to go."


Sadly, the references to Zola, Hugo and Voltaire are so far beyond
Blobby's comprehension that this entire citation can be dismissed
entirely.


The cum drunk faggot is delusional.


Thanks for playing with us, Blobby! LOL!


I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole.


First B&C plagiarizes,


You ignorant ****!! The first line is:

which is theft, showing how relative even the idea of
morality in it's warped mind is.
Then it show why it plagiarizes with a pithy comment.


Webster sez:

Main Entry: pla?gia?rize
Pronunciation: 'plA-j&-"rIz also -jE-&-
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): -rized; -riz?ing
Etymology: plagiary
transitive verb : to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of
another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting
the source
intransitive verb : to commit literary theft : present as new and
original an idea or product derived from an existing source

As the source WAS credited, it is NOT plagiarism as you
asserted.





It should be pithed.


Buy a dictionary, Jethro..........

You are absolutely right. it was not plagerism.
Silly me.

Please change the line you snipped from plagerism to copyright violation.
Which is also against the law.

Sad that you have to look another word up in teh dictionary.
