Apparently, Dinesh D’Souza, a man I hadn’t heard about until today (which shows that he’s accomplished his mission), finds it appropriate to use the Virginia Tech Massacre as an attack on atheists. First, he wrote a blog post about how atheists are nowhere to be found in the aftermath (they are), and now he’s written a post called “Dawkins’ Message to Mourners”, quoting River Out of Eden as if that’s Dawkins’ message to mourners. It’s just incredibly low.
Now, what is Dinesh D’Souza’s message to mourners? Atheists have no empathy, they’re just godless bastards who don’t care. That’s right. That’s his message.
What does he think that will do? Does he think mothers and fathers and friends are gonna go, “Hell yeah! I don’t care that someone dear to me was killed, because atheists are such bastards! Thank you, Mr. D’Souza, for comforting me in my time of need!”
D’Souza doesn’t care to explain how God could let this happen. Instead, he uses this fantastic opportunity to hype himself. Great job! I’m sure God has put a golden star next to your name in his great grade chart. I’m sure you’ll be celebrated much like Jesus when you enter Heaven. I mean, bashing unbelievers! Who could’ve done anything more virtous in such a time!

Three words: ignorant insensitive scumbag.
Obviously. Sarcasm is just a slightly more sophisticated way to say it.
“Atheists have no empathy; they’re just godless bastards who don’t care.”
Did he say this in a blog or website? Where did he say this, do you have a link of proof?
I have a link to a song that is more appropriate for the Virginia Tech mourners here
Atheists do care but he was right to label you Godless, right? The rest was inappropriate (if he actually said it) but what good is it to gain the whole world only to lose their soul. Show proof of what someone said to be more credible otherwise it is just gossip.
For Him,

Yeah, but I like to call a spade a spade.
Dan, I see now that it could be misunderstood. It wasn’t a direct quote, which is what it might look like.
This is what he does say:
See? Atheists don’t care. They’re nowhere to be found.
Here, it’s understood that reducing emotions to molecules is all atheists do. Of course, it’s untrue. Atheists have feelings, too. That they’re composed of molecules is a non-issue. They’re still real.
Here and here.
The truth, in my opinion, is that the past nine suicide shooters like Cho have taken Paxil or equivalent for their depression and mentality. The past NINE in a row, in science, that is an easy hypothesis to come to from the evidence. So who killed those poor kids… science did.
Some one please prove me wrong!
Now it’s your turn to back up your claims. You must show all of the following:
That all these shooters took Paxil or equivalent.
That this caused them to become shooters.
That these kinds of medications don’t prevent more harm than they cause.
It’s obviously absurd to blame science in any case, but if you can show all of the above you can blame the particular medication.
Dan wrote:
Hahahahaha!
Seriously, you might also want to know that the past nine shooters were also people, had access to television and books, carried guns, drank fluids and ate food, possibly of the ‘fast’ variety. Ronald McDonald, that bastard!
P.S. Do you have anything to back up your assertion (other than AiG) that they were all taking Paxil (or equivalent), or did you just pull that “fact” out of your seemingly truthiness-opinionated arse?
Just a quick search on our beloved Google I found this first. I have found quite a bit about it and if you need more just Google some key words and you will find a slew of information. Come out of the dark you guys it is beautiful in the light.
D’Sousa is in the process of discrediting himself. Even the conservative blogs are trashing him now. And he got roundly trumped over at Daily KOS.
Bye, Dinesh!
Speaking of discredited, Dan are you a Scientologist? Or is that anti-anti-depressant cancer spreading to other religions now. Just asking.
He does link to the Bible, so I guess he’s a Christian. Also, I believe he’s the same guy who got into some heated debates over here.
Nullifidian, at least he had the honesty to admit it’s just his opinion. I’m curious as to what evidence he has.
Simen, I was pointing out that ‘truth’ isn’t exactly a matter of opinion, unless there’s some new kind of reality that I’m currently unaware of.
As far as I can tell, this is the same Dan that AE had. You might have got yourself a gold-plated troll here.
Yes, that’s kind of what I was alluding to. I wonder how it’s possible for a theist to be a relativist about truth. I mean, my truth clearly says there’s no god. Why would I care about anyone else’s truth?
Let’s hope not.
Dan.
Why don’t you just keep going along up in your food chain of blame? Why stop at Paxil? Who invented that? A man. Who invented that? According to you, God. Oh, oops. Did I just commit blaspheme?
The point is, anyone you scapegoat has a previous cause, and if you want to argue your way, the idiot’s way, then everything leads to your first cause: “God”.
The way I see it, blame doesn’t equal sense, so please- make some sense.
When are you going to let me respond?
Your comment was mistaken for spam, hidden between comments advertising “hot sexy lesbian porn” and the like. It’s visible now.
Why do you keep changing names, by the way? True, there is some anonymity on the web, but I’d like to be able to recognize you from all the other anonymous commenters out there.
