Vice Chancellor ACU - Atheists "targeting" Catholics

Postby peterct » Wed Nov 04, 2009 3:58 am

This article might raise a smile on a few faces.

The author is the Vice-Chancellor of the Australian Catholic University and he claims that atheists and predominantly "targeting" Catholics.

This paragraph is particularly interesting:
In an average week of atheistic bigotry in the Melbourne media, we can expect to learn that Catholics endorse child molestation, hate all other religions, would re-introduce the crusades and the auto de fe at the slightest opportunity, despise women, wish to persecute homosexuals, greedily divert public moneys for their own religious purposes, subvert public health care, brainwash children, and are masterminding the spread of the cane toad across northern Australia.


In his mind, he is being flippant, but other than for spreading cane-toads, he is ironically correct!
I think, therefore I am . . . an atheist.
