The Non-Existent Moral Code of Atheism

Posted on Comments

If there is no God, there is only Science and, as everyone who has studied the “climate change” phenomenon is aware, Science involves a self-selecting cabal of credentialed insiders empowered to dismiss criticism from anyone who does not concur in the sacred consensus.

So child molestation is harmless — the Science is settled!

Richard Dawkins, one of the world’s best-known and outspoken atheists, has provoked outrage among child protection agencies and experts after suggesting that recent child abuse scandals have been overblown.
In an interview in The Times magazine on Saturday (Sept. 7), Dawkins, 72, he said he was unable to condemn what he called “the mild pedophilia” he experienced at an English school when he was a child in the 1950s.
Referring to his early days at a boarding school in Salisbury, he recalled how one of the (unnamed) masters “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts.”
He said other children in his school peer group had been molested by the same teacher but concluded: “I don’t think he did any of us lasting harm.” . . .
“I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild pedophilia, and can’t find it in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today,” he said.
He said the most notorious cases of pedophilia involve rape and even murder and should not be bracketed with what he called “just mild touching up.”

Ace of Spades:

This just in: Man who has spent entire adult public life attempting a Freudian vengeance against God-As-Father-Figure-Betrayer announces that a bit of “mild pedophilia” did “no lasting harm” to his psychology.

See more at Salon, Memeorandum and Gateway Pundit — but you know, who has been warning you about this? Who took alarm over the Kaitlyn Hunt story? Who told you about the atheist sex scandal?

Who told you about the Pervert Party and the New Abnormal? What about Slutwalk Insanity and the Psychotic Professor?

Does anyone else see a pattern here? Perhaps the apostles of the Gospel of Science could examine these correlations, and confirm my impression that there is a distinct non-randomness involved.

Did I ever mention that Brett Kimberlin is an atheist?

  7. Dostoevsky said in one of his novels “God is dead, everything is permitted”. That about sums up the mindset of our postmodern world.

  12. Not so sure that there is no lasting harm from “mild pedophilia”.

    After all…..look at Richard Dawkins, who has made some of the most offensive remarks about women ever spewed by modern atheists (and that’s saying something.)

  24. Being obtuse again, reverting to your SOP … you truly are dense and unteachable.
    What does the opinion of a parody figure, whether good or ill, really mean to you? Are you so obsessed with your agenda you simply have to have the final word and even an obvious parody stings your foolish pride so?
    Methinks you need to reflect on yourself, if that is even possible for you in your obvious state of denial.
    Good bye you poor deluded example of a progressive troll.

  25. Because I don’t respond to your little attempts in a way you want? Silly little boy. What agenda? Parody? at least attempt to make it accurate….overall, your attempts at ‘mocking’ has been pretty pathetic.

  27. Heh. Your opinion of me and $5 can get you a $1 cup of coffee at Mickey D’s!
    It really is sad that my opinion of you matters so deeply to you. Your opinion of me means less than nothing, rather like that lack of substance you mentioned earlier.
    I assume nothing, I form my opinions via facts, not feelings. Try living life without making yourself the put-upon victim, it is quite thrilling!

  28. I have no opinion of you, though you have several of me. Your assumptions began with your first comment and continue to your last.

  31. “biting your lot”….”progressive…”, start to finish. You keep thinking I’m part of some group based on nothing but assumptions…

  33. I can’t even imagine (must be my obtuseness) what ‘victim’ group you think I belong to… never mind…pretty soon you will be saying that your assumptions about my assumption about your…
    like I said, you’ve wasted enough of your precious time…move along little doggie…

  34. Still obtuse I see. You self identified your victimhood, both in this thread and in previous ones (I know your current DISQUS account has a low comment count and very low number of likes, but this isn’t your first account or appearance at TOM. You are known.
    Hasta la vista baby.

  38. I’ve repeatedly said that Dawkins is a credentialed moron. Almost every time he makes a public appearance he proves the truth of what I call him.

  41. That simply makes Dawkins another version of Bernard Groeschel, OF. Your point?
    Did I mention one thing pedophile priests have in common is that they’re theists?
