The Cracker Sacrilege

There's been a lot of furor over two recent events: 1) a student "steals" a communion wafer (i.e., doesn't eat it), and 2) a popular atheist blogger criticizes the Catholic uproar over it. It's not my job to report the news. I cite this article from Ed Brayton, since he does. (Report the news, as it were.)

I'm not Catholic, but I have family members who are. I think. I dunno, they married good Catholic girls. Again, I think. Heh.

Anyway, though PZ Myers could have been polite, he doesn't see the need to truckle to someone else's delusions. From his perspective, a loony is a loony, and deserves no respect. Frankly, I have to agree with that assessment. It is a fracking cracker. The crime has only been to criticize things others appear to hold sacred. I suppose, folks, if you can't take the heat for your beliefs, then it's time to reexamine those beliefs. Could it be you have some doubt, lingering there in the dark?

This is about faith. Either you have it, or you don't. If you do, then this too shall pass.
