Atheism in action
A little Mark Shea commentary:
This was somewhat true of some of my classmates, one of whom had an interesting desire to outlaw any differences between people, because differences cause disagreements. I kid you not.
A number of his readers are panicking and assuming he's become a theist. Why? Because he's trying to become a more virtuous person. He hasn't, so far as I can tell, advocated a single theistic idea. He's simply said that, out of respect for some of the prolifers he knows, he will not malign Jesus or Christianity any more. He's also said he's going to try to swear off mockery and sarcasm.
For this, his atheist readers are reviling him (read the comments, but put on fire retardant clothes first).
