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: Surviving all the atheist tirade VITHAL C NADKARNI TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ 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. |
