Maybe we should pray for Rick Warren not to be so stupid:
Not believing in a Supreme Being takes more faith than believing in one, according to Pastor Rick Warren. “I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist,” Warren told Fox News anchors Steve Doocy and Martha MacCallum Monday.
“You know, Steve, if I’m walking down a mountain and I see rock out of place and I go ‘that’s an accident.’ If I’m walking down a mountain — on the trail — and I find a Rolex that’s evidence of design,” he explained. “It actually takes more faith not to believe in God than to believe in God.”
Here is the thing with that argument, if I find a watch I can also find who made it, if I had the resources I could go to the Rolex factory and probably talk to the person who put it together. I can’t talk to the being who created the rock, most likely because that being doesn’t exist. The religous nuts really need to come-up with some evidence for their supernatural beliefs or at least stop pretending they make sense.
He also offers this tidbit:
In April of 2007, Warren told Newsweek that he “never met an atheist who wasn’t angry” and that “far more people have been killed through atheists than through all the religious wars put together.”
“Thousands died in the Inquisition; millions died under Mao, and under Stalin and Pol Pot,” Warren said in 2007. “There is a home for atheists in the world today—it’s called North Korea. I don’t know any atheists who want to go there. I’d much rather live under Tony Blair, or even George Bush.”
Maybe atheists are angry when they meet Rick Warren because the stupid burns.
