Why Belief in God is an Outdated Superstition | Richard Dawkins
The atheist dialectical materialist Karl Marx said way back in 1848 that the capitalist system was " outdated " and would eventually be overthrown by the millions of oppressed and exploited workers of the world ? Does the New Atheist cult have a PROGRESSIVE political agenda ?

I hope the New Atheism " Age of Reason " cult must not protect itself with the help of secular ZIONIST Jew censorship of YouTube, Facebook, and the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy "?
How Christianity Reinforces Bigotry | Sam Harris & Dr Peter Boghossian
How many of our New Atheism cult members find the Age of Reason in CAPITALISM, AMERICAN IMPERIALISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM? They ALL seem to be not so subtle shills for all three of the BIG EVILS in this world? So, focus on mocking the religious FAITH, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, of BILLIONS of working-class people? And God bless you!
Health alert: New blood pressure medication recall
I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes two years ago. The diabetes pills seem to be doing fine. The doctor at first recommended low dose 10 milligram Lisinopril, then 20 milligram pills. During an echocardiogram testing my blood pressure was still unacceptably high (with no symptoms). A call was put in to see my primary care physician the next day. He already called into my CVS pharmacy a supplement high blood pressure pill. At the office I saw the building nurse, not the doctor. She must intend to monitor my condition. I will visit her office next Friday to check on the efficiency of the new pill combination. Not wanting to sound like a cranky " difficult " patient, I politely suggested to her that the Lisinopril could be, in fact, RAISING my blood pressure - the exact opposite of the INTENDED effect. As if not paying attention, the nurse assured me that the Lisinopril was preventing a stroke. Well maybe! But if the pill prevents a stroke by LOWERING my blood pressure, does the reverse make any sense? Well maybe?
Of course, at my age (months away from age 78) FATHER TIME is just as effective a " silent killer " as high blood pressure. So, I would be foolish to be mad at the health care professionals with their " Myth of Sisyphus " daily challenges. Which, of course, includes MAKE A BUCK capitalism.

Theology of suffering ? Excerpts from Albert Camus " The Plague "
09:21 (2 minutes ago)
“I understand,” Paneloux said in a low voice. “That sort of thing is revolting because it passes our human understanding. But perhaps we should love what we cannot understand.”
Rieux straightened up slowly…
“No, Father. I’ve a very different idea of love. And until my dying day I shall refuse to love a scheme of things in which children are put to torture.”
Rieux works to combat the plague simply because he is a doctor and his job is to relieve human suffering. He does not do it for any grand, religious purpose, like Paneloux (Rieux does not believe in God), or as part of a high-minded moral code, like Tarrou. He is a practical man, doing what needs to be done without any fuss, but he knows that the struggle against death is something that he can never win.
The theology of the Catholic Church is nearly a theology of suffering .
But common HUMANITY must survive with or without the HOPE of transcendent meaning . " The Absurd " in Camus' philosophical existentialism ( ? ) always leaves us alone in the universe ( of " benign indifference " ? ) without THE ANSWER . And who is right , the priest Paneloux or the good doctor non-believer Rieux ? Who knows ?
[ This line, "There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning," is the concluding sentence of Thornton Wilder's novel, "The Bridge of San Luis Rey." ]
