Of course some atheists have done as he says. Maybe Cornel did as well. But how would he know about anyone else, other than what they may claim? > Many atheists have not pondered anything, other than their own convenience or inconvenience in following a religious moral code imposed by centuries of accumulated wisdom and experience in most cases. > Cornel continues: > Thirdly, I should suggest that Mario reads substantially about atheism before raising vacuous questions. I am increasingly persuaded that he is rather prone to do this. However, I may not go as far as Carmo's very recent vivid (BB) Konkani depiction of Mario on Goanet! > Mario responds: > I don't need to read about the self-serving claims of atheists. Talk about vacuous. Is there anything more vacuous that Cornel's patronizing comments and defensive claims on behalf of OTHER atheists in this post? Besides, I have no problem with any of them being atheists, since the legal system imposes a minimal moral code on everyone, as long as they keep it out of my face. > Finally, I defy anyone on Goanet who understands English to make the case that I am for doing nothing, on any issue. I was even able to show Carmo that his "do nothing" depiction was wrong. I was suggesting the legal system be followed in the case of the men suspected of murdering Fr. Eusebio, not that nothing be done. For Cornel to slyly insinuate otherwise shows that he understands little of what he reads. >
