After
the recent bombing in Boston, there was a huge outpouring of insult
and anger from atheists over the interfaith service.
Atheists
(those who mock and ridicule faith and treat with disdain, derision and contempt those who
live by faith in Creator God) felt terribly offended that they weren't invited to
speak at this interfaith service.
In
fact, atheists who posted their thoughts were certain that they would
find no comfort at such an event and so, in a huge pout they refused
to attend.
And
so I wonder, if there had been an atheist memorial service, if there had been a purely
secular event, what words of comfort would an atheist say? What words
of comfort would an atheist say that wouldn't have been said at
the interfaith service?
What
words of hope?
What
words of assurance?
What
words of life would an atheist say at a time of tragic death? I mean,
besides the usual, “God is evil. God is a monster for causing such
an awful thing to happen. Christians are idiots for praying at a time
like this."
At such a gathering of the proud and godless, I would anticipate the same old saprogenic crap that one encounters every day on atheist blogs.
