Intellects Abound Out There
I am often times astounded by the intellectual acumen of the anti-religious, anti-Christian, anti-Catholic crowd. Open Book posted a thread from the Huffington Post criticizing B16 for having the nerve to say that we must be careful not to make technological acheivements our gods. The responses from most of the brain surgeons who read the rag, range from inane to just plain stupid…with a lot of immature vulgarity thrown into the mix. They say that one of the biggest dangers is under estimating your opponent. Perhaps this explains it. Their exhibition of adolesent rants is simply an attempt to lull us into a false sense of security.

Some of the comments are disgusting, but that aside, the anger and resistance shown for the Catholic Church seems to correlate to the level of ignorance. You are very accurate on the adolesent rants, over reaction happens when the intellect is somewhat limited.

“..and the Darkness has not understood it.”
Jesus said that His sheep know His voice, so one gathers that the goats don’t hear it, or cannot hear it.
It’s funny, how Scripture sounds whilst being shouted in staccato bursts, like machinegun fire, and pulpits being thumped like mortars exploding in the distance. Christians’ presentation of the Gospel has been an obstacle for many, I would wager, and behavior (and misbehavior) that casts doubt on our convictions as well. I guess that’s where Grace is supposed to pick up the interminable slack..

[...] Amy is still pumped today, about the HuffPo thread from yesterday and started up a new one, same issue, today. Today’s specific focus was the uniformed presumption that the buffoons on the HuffPo thread were making that the Church was anti-science (modern sense of the term). She then provided a litany of evidence that the Church embraces science and dared anyone to say otherwise in the face of the evidence. Well, that is where Ian rushes in ahead of the Angels I am afraid. Well, poor Ian got piled on to with this one, 80 posts strong and still going, and as far as I can tell he was hammered on almost all of them. Ole Ian did not give up though. He is still holding onto his off base assertions. I provided my own thoughts over there for those who might want to take a look, but here I would like to mention something that Marco intuited from Ian’s musings. [...]
