Atheists aren't fully human, says Cardinal

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

"It is a diminishment of what it is to be human, in the sense I believe humanity is directed, made by god, I think if you leave that out, you're not fully human"

[Peikko 1,575]

Oh goody. Perhaps I am part demon then? However, if one does not believe in demons - how does that work? Very confusing. I'll just call the guy a pillock and forget about it

Good grief! Sloppy finger pointing at it's finest.

I always wondered why I was a little different.

No, MC, you can't be part demon. If you don't believe in the existence of God, can you believe in the existence of demons? Can you be something you don't believe in?

And, ok, as a Catholic, I'll go ahead and say it: he is a chopf#ck.

He has a way with words.

[the Cardinal] made the astonishing claim at a lavish fund-raising dinner at Claridges which secured pledges of hundreds of thousands of pounds for the catholic church. The Cardinal, dressed in his full clerical regalia, said in a speech at the black tie dinner that he had worried whether the dinner should go ahead because of the troubled economic times. But he went on to say that in 1989, with the collapse of the Berlin wall, that “communism had died.” In 2008, he said, “capitalism had died.”

my ex-boss was an overt atheist.

his office was always mysteriously cold, the lights never stopped flickering, and he did smell kind of funny, and not the ha-ha kind of funny.

It sounds like he's saying that without spirituality people are somehow incomplete.

Certainly could have worded that better - and it does come across as insulting. I wonder if his pedo colleagues class as "fully human" in his definition.

I'll admit, I was worried for a second, thinking there was part of me that didn't exist because I don't believe in it which might create some kind of cerebral black hole into which the rest of me might disappear. It's quite a relief to realise that I am still complete, even if I am less than human

it's okay, i think human-ness is so passe these days anyway.

Perhaps the cardinal found a pair of those sunglasses from They Live!

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Who wants to be human, anyway?

You mean like these ? Obey.
