Just in time for Christmas!!!
Infamous atheist Richard Dawkins is going negative on Catholicism on Al Jazeera. Speaking truth to power, huh? If Dawkins had even an ounce of testosterone you’d think maybe he would’ve called out Islam right there on Al Jazeera. But no. Mr. Brave goes after the religion that turns the other cheek.
In this interview he actually says that being raised Catholic is actually worse than child abuse.
The Daily Mail reports:
In typically incendiary style, Professor Dawkins said the mental torment inflicted by the religion’s teachings is worse in the long-term than any sexual abuse carried out by priests.
He said he had been told by a woman that while being abused by a priest was a ‘yucky’ experience, being told as a child that a Protestant friend who died would ‘roast in Hell’ was more distressing.
Last night politicians and charities condemned the former Oxford professor’s views as attention-seeking and unhelpful.
Attention seeking?!!! What?! Not Dawkins!!!
It tells you all you need to know about this lunatic that all he can muster for actual child abuse is to call it “yucky” but saves his real ire for Catholicism.

Poor old Dawkins. That's all he's got?

Dawkins uses his gift of free will to deny the Giver.

Idiot. Yes, I just called Dawkins an idiot. 🙂

@Amy, he is an idiot. Failing to raise children with religion is child abuse. I can say that, I was raised without.

Dawkins and Catholicism: How would he know, Dawkins has never been Catholic?

In a retro-Molochian world where childen are now disposable, Catholics and, may God bless them, Fundamentalists lead the few who protect the helpless.

Islam promotes spousal and child abuse. Will Dawkins confront that on Al-Jazeera? Just asking,

Richard Dawkins is not just an idiot in that regard—he doesn't actually know any science. He's a behavioral entomologist, i.e. a wasp sociologist, i.e. a glorified beekeeper. Whenever he opens his fool mouth about any other science, he gets it wrong, like when he mixed up cosmic rays and gamma rays (cosmic rays aren't light).
Then again, I suppose it is difficult to believe in man as the image of a rational God when you are a walking argument against the idea.

See? The Pope is evil after all! He defends human life, asks people to respect marriage as what it is and demands peace where he should be encouraging child abuse…
Wait… What?

Go past the headline and read the article.
The incorrect "Catholic" instruction the woman received was a form of emotional abuse.
Which is why Catholics have an obligation to know what the faith actually teaches.
