RELIGIOUS CANT

"The Archbishop of Westminster has urged Christians to treat atheists and agnostics with "deep esteem". Believers may be partly responsible for the decline in faith by losing sense of the mystery and treating God as a "fact in the world", he said in a lecture. Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor called for more understanding and appreciation between believers and non-believers. The leader of Roman Catholics in England and Wales said that a "hidden God" was active in everyone's life." (BBC News, 8 May)
This hidden god may well be evident to the well fed Archbishop but he remains well hidden to the millions of starving children throughout the world. RD

  1. Is he saying to stop treating God as a fact?

    Well that's a fact,there is no sensible reason for believing in any such creature/thing.In fact, it is as daft as it gets to believe in it.
