Catholic attention whoring

Have you noticed that the catholic clergy have a habit (though other prominent theists are no better) of randomly and for no apparent reason lashing out against atheists? Out of nowhere, you hear that some cardinal, or bishop spouts some crazy lies about atheists on the media, proclaiming us to be evil, purposeless, fearful or what have you.

It strikes me when they do this as both attention whoring and trying to distract from their own hideous deeds.

Well, it happened again.

So what does "good" Cardinal Pell have to say?

THE lives of people without faith have ''nothing beyond the constructs they confect to cover the abyss'

Oh really? I always thought this was exactly the case with theists, too. It's just that we're aware of it.

A minority of people, usually people without religion, are frightened by the future, 

The vast majority of atheists I've come to known are happy, positive people with no fear of the future beyond the ordinary whatsoever; and what a hypocritical statement to make from a leader of a death cult who teaches that we're all evil sinners, who're probably going to burn for all eternity. Quite a positive outlook, eh?

He goes on to spout his worthless opinion about education:

We should not create an ''ideological apartheid'' between faith and reason, Cardinal Pell said.

Sorry, but faith is as far apart from reason as possible by definition.

Oh and we get our treat of Hitler,too:

Cardinal Pell said education was not enough to create a civilised society, that faith was necessary too. He cited the example of 20th century Germany, which he said was the best educated society in the world when Hitler became leader. 

Also, they were for the most part fucking devout catholics you lying scumbag. Next try.
