Wesley Pruden, the editor and chief for The Washington Times, writes in an editorial: “The jobs don't pay a lot, and you take most of your pay in self-esteem, but somebody is always trying out for village idiot or village atheist. Often they're one and the same.” So, is Wesley Pruden attempting to demonstrate his superiority over atheists by insisting that the "village atheist" and "village idiot" are "often" the same person? Probably! If Pruden were to say that the "village thief" and "village black person" were "often" the same person, do you suppose this would be treated as an expression of racist beliefs? Probably, unless, of course, you had just seen some teen black abscond around the corner with your purse or wallet!
Atheists are organizing or trying to. They have their registered lobbyist now on Capitol Hill, (not Madelyn Murray O'Hair, she’s dead, but they would have liked to have had her) and they're planning a revival meeting in Arlington in September 2012. That should be a fun party! The atheists reckon they don't have much time. Prof. Dawkins, who isn’t sure whether God exists or not, stopped calling himself an atheist and now labels himself as an official agnostic. Dawkins warns that America, with its law, literature and customs rooted in Judeo-Christian religion, may be slipping into nothing less than a new religious ‘Dark Age where guys like Torquemada may set up a new inquisition to weed out the unbelievers and heretics. Now, wouldn’t that be fun?
