Fox News… “Pope Benedict issued an apology to victims of sex abuse in Ireland on Saturday, and announced an investigation into parts of the Catholic Church in the country.”
NY Times … Nuns Aye, Priests Nay on health care bill. But was a vote held before the leaders of each gang announced their positions?
CNN… “Pat Robertson, the evangelical Christian who once suggested God was punishing Americans with Hurricane Katrina, says a “pact to the devil” brought on the devastating earthquake in Haiti.”
C.S. Lewis, noted 20th-Century atheist turned Christian apologist, noted for authoring The Chronicles of Narnia… “Of all bad men, religious bad men are the worst.”
Norman Daniels… Why does it seem that the very people who say they’re championing God often say and do things that accomplish just the opposite? Nobody gives the new atheist evangelists more fodder. It’s like Walmart running ads for Kmart. Or worse, Walmart running ads that say don’t shop at Walmart.
Of course, using the foibles of men as proof that God doesn’t exist is just as dumb. If you want to fight that uphill battle, pick some other reasons. The only proof bad men or super-religious phonies offer is that God doesn’t make robots of us all.
But we could certainly see God crying and wringing hands over what they say is his most prized creation. Often.
