Vox Day is a pseudonym for a computer programmer and popular author and blogger. Day has written many articles and books ranging from the current 'Great Depression' [like myself he believes that the '08 crisis was just the first act in a long debt and government-inspired economic meltdown]; to faith, politics and technology. This book on answering the Holy Trinity of misinformed, if not mis-shapen Atheists is a good one and more varieties of this theme need to be published. Atheism is not a 'rationalist' utopia, but a confused, pathologically disturbed, inconsistent and self-defeating cult of dogma and irrationalist faith. Atheists are very religious. They just prefer their own demonic cant to that of established Christianity.
As Day states:
“Atheism is not only irrational, it is quite literally childish in many instances...atheists become atheists during adolescence, an age that combines a tendency toward mindless rebellion as well as the onset of sexual desires that collide with religious strictures on their satisfaction. ”
Atheism is a brain dead cult.
Atheism in all its variants, including the belief in life-from-dead-matter; 'random chance' generating the 100 trillion cell human with a brain and imagination, or that there is no morality beyond what you believe is right; is such a jumble-mash of nonsense, that in essence Day is correct. Atheism embarrasses most 7 year olds with its irreducible ignorance. This is true if anyone has taken the time to read the non-scientific, and quite insane ravings of Dawkins, the dead C. Hitchens, or the erstwhile buffoon Sam Harris, all high priests past and present; of the Atheist cult.
Day skewers the mental pathologies of these Atheist high priests. As he points out Atheist true believers have much faith in their dogma, including:
-Naturalism is the only explanation for anything including your 48 feet of library book shelf space, or software code called DNA
-Marxism, Communalism, and the base hatred of the individual
-Humans have no free-will, all processes and chemical foundations are dialectically determined, it matters not what you think, feel or believe.
-Faith is the enemy of science except of course the Meccan moon cult [the opposite is true, I would say Atheism and its world-view along with the moon cult are the real enemies of science and rationalism, see globaloneywarming, evolution and the failure called Islam].
-Morality is an evolved 'naturally selected variable', and cannot be tied to a specific faith and is circumstantially based.
Atheism truly is in many ways, a mental disorder. The hypocrisy and confusion of Atheist belief manifests itself physically and mentally. Darwin for example denounced Christianity and appealed to naturalism or dialectical processes from nature to explain life and his obsession - death. He suffered from no fewer than 15 discernible mental and physical infirmities. Modern Atheists labour under similar constraints, as Day states:
“Studies have shown that those without religion have life expectancies seven years shorter than the average churchgoer, are more likely to smoke, abuse alcohol, and be depressed or obese, and they are much less likely to marry or have children. Their criminal proclivities strongly suggest that they are less intelligent on average than theists and High Church atheists alike, and they also outnumber their High Church counterparts by a significant margin, as the following table of various polls demonstrates..”
Atheists are not rationalists, nor are they particularly smart, a fact Day proves over and over again when analyzing the gibberish and pseudo-quackery of the Atheist Holy Trinity. In fact Atheists are quite dull and the concept that only matter and energy exists to the exclusion of everything else, is to put it mildly, a belief that is opposed to reality, the cosmos, your own consciousness, free-will, morality and your own inner voice. It is banal.
As part of the cult dogma, most Atheists are of course enamoured and supportive of collectivist ideals. The state, the community, the nature of Gaia supported by the communal, are the only vital concerns. For the modern Atheist the evolved human-fish, does not have individual free-will, needs, desires or aspirations which trump the collective. Ergo the state exists to exalt the mass, and neuter the selfish 'gene' of the individual. Whatever the state makes 'right' is what the individual must follow. Morality then becomes 'relative' and subject to the whim of state power, or the cult or plutocracy which wields such power.
Day: “Atheism is a material and inseparable part of Marxism..”
It certainly is. Both are dialectical belief systems which are cojoined. We can also say that Atheism is of course a world-view premised on violence. Atheism does not allow dissent, free-speech, thinking, inquiry or objections of any form. It leads to the totalitarian. The history of Atheist states makes this claim a fact:
“Communism [and its twin National Socialism, my emphasis] has so habitually devolved into violence is because it is an impressively stupid vision that violates both basic human nature in the form of the individual’s desire for material betterment as well as the economic law of supply and demand.”
In this vein Day provides a helpful table of the 52 Atheist leaders who in the past 100 years have murdered some 150 millions: “...between 1917 and 2007 is approximately 148 million dead at the bloody hands of fifty-two atheists..”
Quite a total. He does not include Hitler's regime in the above carnage. Day wrongly believes that Hitler was just a pagan. This is incorrect. Hitler and the Nazis were Darwinists, and evolutionary theology was an important platform for Nazi-Hitlerite ideals including; euthanasia, killing Jews and Untermensch, wiping out the Catholic Church and murdering millions of Catholics, all to promote Darwinian-Aryan racism [survival of the best and fittest race]. Hitler the Atheist started a war which killed 70 million. Therefore the total dead thanks to Atheist fascism is 220 million in the past 100 years.....
“As an editor of the Nuremberg Project for the Rutgers Journal of Law and Religion described it: “They [the Nazis] wanted to eliminate the Jews altogether, but they were also looking to eliminate Christianity.”
Atheism is always at war with Christianity. 200.000 Christians sit in North Korean gulags starving to death. The Chinese Communists murder thousands of Christians each year, a crime that goes unreported. In Communist Russia 41.000 churches were pulled down, some made into public swimming pools or Atheist centres of 'reason'. The Atheist Nazis looted churches, gassed thousands of priests and bishops, housed priests in special barracks at Dachau and other extermination camps, and wiped out millions of Catholics in Eastern Europe. The Nazi regime was not just at war with Jews or Slavs, but with the Church as well. The French Revolution which spawned the disaster of Napoleon, is equally guilty of similar crimes. So much for reason and tolerance.
Day's book is an admirable and detailed critique of the non-thinking, irrational cult of Dawkins et al. It is quite easy to dispose of such apostles of neutered reality. Sadly 26% or so of adults according to Day's sources, are Atheists of some variety. That number is sure to grow as the state funds illiteracy such as sexual-confusion named 'choice', abortion, evolutionary 'law', naturalism, globaloneywarming, and Islam-is-Peace-except-when-it-murders-you. This is why government is the problem. Without government support, Atheism would likely collapse under the weight of its own irrational nonsense.
