Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

THE GOSPELS ARE FAKE. AND I CAN PROVE IT [ The New Atheist cranks should " GET A LIFE - perhaps ETERNAL LIFE ]
The New Atheist fan club zealots are invariably petty bourgeois , neurotic cranks. Great philosophers have studied the world's great religions for centuries now and , as far as I can tell, would not be smug and comfortable with their LOGIC and REASON in the " officially atheist " Stalinism of Russia after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. As a long time independent democratic socialist ( and an unapologetic pre-Vatican II Catholic ) I think that the biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM: It was making itself an " officially atheist " tyranny.
The Catholic philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas was convinced that FAITH could be reconciled with REASON ( with a certain necessary acceptance of REVELATION ) .
Can these conceited , narcissistic New Atheist evangelists ( they think the world is desperate to listen to stale , sophomoric arguments against FAITH and the existence of God well know since the Age of Enlightenment . Why did the lights go out of the Enlightenment ? Because human society , the successive social and economic orders of " civilization ," is not based on syllogisms of formal Logic. It is based on the rule of successive ruling classes - THEIR role in the exploitation and oppression of the masses. Catholic social philosophy understood this.
I never hear New Atheist voices sounding passionately critical of CAPITALISM, AMERICAN IMPERIALISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM. Is their implied FAITH in this world order consistent with their precious REASON and LOGIC ?
How can any HUMANIST have a scornful attitude toward the Christ of the New Testament ? Child-like FAITH in God is a gift but the proverbial " village atheist " always had the aura of the OGRE about him .
To the ubiquitous mob of New Atheists competing for pathetic attention on You Tube I say : " GET A LIFE - perhaps ETERNAL LIFE ! "
NOTE : How many New Atheist evangelists are under-employed scientists and academic scholars ? With their LOGIC & REASON they do not dare antagonize their potential employers in the notorious military industrial complex or in the glittering world of the Big Corporation. Nor presently cross a line to offend the FASCIST-ZIONIST regime of Donald Trump and Brain Trust heavy Stephen Miller.
They know when best to make their LOGIC & REASON shut up ! Wiser to pick on the four Gospels - Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John ! Wiser to bash the Holy Catholic Church and its mystical sacrament of the Holy Eucharist !
