The Atheist's Sermon

On hearing an atheist, Stephen Fry, complaining of the sins of the Catholic Church. It is quite interesting how first, he uses the word "sins". The other interesting thing was the amount of self-righteousness this atheist exhibits. He further goes on to condemn the stigmitizing he claims the Church is guilty of by stitching a great Scarlet Letter upon that Bride, the Church, as if she were Hester Prynne herself. Mr.Fry further talks of how the Church is obsessed with sex---ironic that it doesn't seem to enter his mind that being a self proclaimed homosexual, he might not in some way be obsessed with this activity. He goes on to condemn any traditional moral goodness and the Church with the doctrinal purity of Marx, Lenin and Darwin. He ratches up his diatribe by giving us the Galilean himself (a man he seems to be quite on friendly terms with) as one that would be unaccepted in the rich treasury of the Church, while not ever wondering at the locked doors of his own heart. Well, Mr. Fry, I am grateful. You have, albeit against your intention, strengthened my faith in this Bride and most of all in her Bridegroom, this Galilean, in a way that many a sermon could not have done.
