A handwritten note by a memorial in Brussels said, “In the end, when you see what can be done in the name of God, it makes you wonder what is left for the devil.”
If we look back over history, the atrocities committed in God’s name by all kinds of religions are astounding. On this Good Friday, I am quite proud to be an atheist. I only wish that there were a God, and that it would smite down the idiots who are committing terrible crimes on its behalf.
The quote in the first paragraph was printed in an article by Dan Bilefsky in today’s Times.
