Atheism: The Root of All Evil |
http://bedejournal.blogspot.com/2006/01/root-of-all-evil.html
The Root of All Evil?
Further apologies for the intermittent nature of this blog. I am afraid
that twice weekly service may not be resuming for a little while as I
am snowed under at present.
What should we make of Richard Dawkin's new show The Root of All Evil??
Channel Four have foisted a question mark on his title but I doubt the
initiative for that came from Professor Dawkins. Well, I'm going to
talk about how best to make a programme that portrays atheism as badly
as possible. I'm not too bothered with the ethics of misrepresenting my
subject, but instead I'll take my cues from Dawkins' treatment of
religion.
Let's start the show with me looking good, wise and dressed like a
scholar. However, all the atheists in the show will be chosen because
they look shifty, have funny beards or are Texans. If I can find one
with a pair of little round glasses and a scary continental accent, so
much the better. That's what TV researchers are for. First, I'll visit
a meeting of atheists doing harmless things and generally not
threatening a fly. I'd suggest that these people are on a slippery
slope towards moral disintegration and mass murder. This would be as
unfair as linking a granny at Lourdes directly to a suicide bomber, but
apparently that's OK.
Next, I'll visit America and find some sad secularists with a
persecution complex and pour scorn on them. I'll interview a supporter
of Madalyn Murray O'Hair and make out she was the representative face
of American atheism (she certainly wanted to be). Then I'll talk to a
wacky libertarian follower of Ayn Rand and thus prove atheism can lead
to communism and fascism at the same time. Then I'll pretend they
attacked me. Unfair? Well, Dawkins compares a service at a US
evangelical church to a Nuremberg rally and craftily edits his film in
order to make the preacher look as a bad as possible. Finally, we get a
very odd scene where Dawkins claims his crew were thrown off the
church's land but although the camera is on, the editing is seriously
jumbled and the sound track paraphrased by Dawkins himself.
I'll wrap my show up with a visit to Moscow where I'll interview an
unreconstructed Stalinist who will berate the bourgeois and decadent
West. He'll promise that Communism will eventually take the world over
and I'll leave with his threats echoing in my ears. Typical atheist,
I'll imply. Of course, that's no worse that finding the nuttiest Moslem
in Jerusalem (complete with funny beard and American accent) to
represent Islam.
On second thoughts, I'll leave the black propaganda to the people who
are really good at it.

The Root of All Evil?
Religion.
As thousands of years of history has proven, over and over again.

Yeah, right. One of these days, clown, you're going to have a world without
any religion whatever. I hope you enjoy it. You'll look around at all the
suffering, and go, "OMG, we're f*cked." By then, it'll be too late.

Ah but this all depends on one's definition of 'religion.'
For example, football hooligans are religious as are industrial
bankers.
As are those who allow theory to dominate data in the Evolution as
Science Religion.

Spin, you're confusing fanatasism.
And are you familiar with heliocentric theory?
Atomic theory? They're not just a guess made
by one guy.

The actual good that religion brings is far outweighed by the bad. It is
quite impossible that the lack of it could be worse than religion. Religion
has caused more death and destruction than any other ideal in history.

I know I will. It will be paradise, when reason prevails.

What suffering? You mean the suffering caused by your little sky

Too late for Santa? Bet not.

And that replying at all to posts like this is as useless as arguing

Extra sharp?
Of course! :)
I like my cheddar so sharp, you risk cuts handling it...

No, the joke I have is a bit TOO filthy.
I'll check out that for a cleaner one, if you like.

In a message sent 'round the world, words of truth poured fuel on the

The Root of All Evil?
Further apologies for the intermittent nature of this blog. I am afraid
that twice weekly service may not be resuming for a little while as I am
snowed under at present.
What should we make of Richard Dawkin's new show The Root of All Evil??
Channel Four have foisted a question mark on his title but I doubt the
initiative for that came from Professor Dawkins. Well, I'm going to talk
about how best to make a programme that portrays atheism as badly as
possible. I'm not too bothered with the ethics of misrepresenting my
subject, but instead I'll take my cues from Dawkins' treatment of
religion.
Let's start the show with me looking good, wise and dressed like a
scholar. However, all the atheists in the show will be chosen because they
look shifty, have funny beards or are Texans.
Let's start with a world that is predominantly atheistic, and has been so
for thousands of years. Then, let's leave it at that.
If I can find one with a
pair of little round glasses and a scary continental accent, so much the
better. That's what TV researchers are for. First, I'll visit a meeting of
atheists doing harmless things and generally not threatening a fly. I'd
suggest that these people are on a slippery slope towards moral
disintegration and mass murder. This would be as unfair as linking a
granny at Lourdes directly to a suicide bomber, but apparently that's OK.
So, you don't believe that religious fanatics are capable of carrying out
suicide bomb attacks? I anxiously await your explanation.

Um, it's religion that is the heart of half the evil, the other half is
government.
