Os crentes voltaram de férias

Reprimidos pela castidade a que a sua religião os obriga, voltaram azedos e malcriados, o que não é exclusivo desses seres com os joelhos calejados nas missas e o pensamento obnubilado pelas orações.

Eles sabem que o ateísmo é anterior à inseminação de uma judia por uma pomba e que sem Paulo de Tarso, que fez a cisão com o judaísmo, e o pouco estimável Constantino, que transformou uma seita perseguida em religião oficial, não haveria cristianismo.

Convém recordar que o logótipo do cristianismo foi, nos primeiros séculos, o peixe e, só depois, o sinal mais o substituiu. Para quem sabe que foram os homens que criaram os deuses, e não o contrário, é curioso observar como os crentes ainda vêem no Pentateuco a palavra do deus abrâmico, não sendo honroso que tal manual sirva de orientação espiritual com a sua crueldade, própria da época em que foi criado, habitual nos seis séculos em que a tradição oral foi sendo adaptada.

Eram tempos em que a vida tinha pouco valor e a violência era apanágio das tribos que se submetiam a um rígido poder patriarcal. É por isso, por razões morais, que um ateu civilizado e que preze a vida não pode ver no Deuteronómio ou no Levítico, v.g., a orientação para uma conduta digna.

Ultimamente, o judeu que divinizaram e se tornou a mascote do cristianismo, está a ser substituído pela alegada mãe que aparece a dar recados, em países católicos, a pessoas de parca sabedoria e forte superstição. Da trindade cristã, o Espírito Santo há muito que foi deixado cair no olvido e é hoje residual o culto de que goza. Em breve restará apenas a virgem Maria para meter cunhas ao divino filho a troco das orações e do óbolo.

    O sr. Esperança saiu do seu casulo para vir debitar as suas habituais generalidades. É uma espécie de disco falacioso, arranhado, mas o homem aprecia essa demonstração de ” elevação” intelectual, que o seu canhestro proselitismo não consegue superar. Pela amostra do texto, o homem percebe bem mais de efabulações freudianas do que seria suposto admitir.

    Ei-lo agora todo impante de pseudo- sabedoria, a botar discurso sobre supostas condicionantes de ordem sexual. O homem lá sabe do que fala, mas a sua espelhada imagem não lhe confere validação legitimadora para tecer exercícios abrangentes, mais do que os que dele próprio se reflectem  no espelho da sua triste e cinzenta caserna.

    Descontando a libidinosidade dos seus constrangedores fantasmas sexuais,quererá agora o simplista escriba sustentar que só os ateus é que se insurgem contra a mesquinhice e indignidade de livros abjectos como o Levítico e o Deuterónimo.

    O sr. Esperança também ainda não arrancou do AT, mas, passo a passo,estou convicto que a sua cultura livresca e a sua renitente bílis hão-de melhorar e qualquer dia ainda aqui o azedo escriba aparecerá bem mais aliviado das suas amarguras existenciais, para nos brindar com outro prato dos seus destemperados cozinhados.

        A resposta de Vexa está ao nível da sua propria parvoeira. E deve ter aprendido a errada lição com o sr. Esperança, de visionar como imagem alheia a que resulta do mero reflexo espelhado da sua própria pessoa. Será que o espelho não é o mesmo ou o seu nível é que  também anda muito por baixo ?

    “Sinal de +”, essa foi boa; pior é que nem é um sinal de “mais”, é um cotoco mal cortado de um eixo ortogonal, aquilo fere a vista. Tentativa lamentável dos que perderem o sentido dos símbolos. e muito pior ainda: Crasso sinal do Terror imposto aos que não arriam em subserviência; só safardanas imporiam uma enganação com esse formato e com um intento tão sórdido.

    Mass grave of history: Vatican’s WWII identity crisis By Julia Gorin 
    02/22/2010 22:47
    Catholic Church, looking for a bulwark against communism, supported what became genocidal regime of Nazi satellite Croatia.
    The controversy over the canonization of Pope Pius XII
    concerns whether he spoke out enough against the slaughter of Jews
    during World War II. But that question is a red herring when trying to
    grasp the big picture of the Vatican’s role during the war. The real question is whether the Vatican supported the world order,
    or at least aspects of it, that the Third Reich promised to bring, a
    world order in which dead Jews were collateral damage – which Pius
    indeed regretted. The answer can be found in a region of Europe that is
    generally ignored despite being the nexus of world wars: the Balkans.
    The Catholic Church was looking for a bulwark against expanding,
    ruthless, church-destroying communism, but in doing so it supported a
    Croatian movement called Ustasha, which rose to become the genocidal
    regime of Nazi satellite Croatia. American historian Jared Israel points to a February 17, 1941 New York Times article which reported that the archbishop of Zagreb
    (Croatia’s capital), Alojzije (Aloysius) Stepinac, was holding
    conferences in Vatican City “seeking the freedom of Catholic priests
    detained in [pre-Nazi] Croatia in connection with the circulation of…
    ‘Free Croatia!’ pamphlets, attributed to Ante Pavelic.” Pavelic, who
    once criticized Hitler for
    originally being too soft on the Jews, was the founder of the fascist
    Ustashas, who were engaging in terrorism all over Europe to “liberate”
    Croatia from Yugoslavia. He famously said, “A good Ustasha is one who
    can use a knife to cut a child from the womb of its mother.” Israel explains the significance of the understated Times
    article: “The arrested priests were agitating for a fascist coup
    d’etat,” and if these had been rogue priests, “the Vatican would have
    disciplined them and perhaps issued a statement condemning them; it
    certainly would not have [held] top-level conferences to manage their
    defense.” At the time, Pavelic was being harbored in Mussolini’s Italy – where his Ustasha soldiers were being trained – after France
    sentenced him to death for masterminding the 1934 double assassination
    of Yugoslavian King Alexander I and French foreign minister Louis
    Barthou. When Hitler invaded Yugoslavia in April 1941, Pavelic was
    activated and became fuehrer, or “Poglavnik,” of the new,
    clerical-fascist Croatia. Archbishop Stepinac held a banquet
    for Pavelic, blessed the Ustasha leader and regime, calling them “God’s
    hand at work,” and the following month had Pavelic received by Pius XII.
    This was four days after the massacre in the town of Glina, where the
    Ustashas locked hundreds of Serbian Orthodox inside their church and
    burned it down, as became standard practice in Pavelic’s Independent State of Croatia
    (known by its Croatian acronym NDH). Pius XII received Pavelic despite a
    Yugoslav envoy’s request that he not do so, given the atrocities taking
    place. In July of that year, Pavelic’s minister of education,
    Mile Budak, publicly outlined the purification process, already being
    implemented against Serbs: Kill a third, expel a third, convert a third.
    That August, more than a thousand Serbs had gathered inside another
    Glina church for conversion, after which Zagreb police chief Bozidar
    Corouski announced, “Now that you are all Roman Catholics, I guarantee
    you that I can save your souls, but I cannot save your bodies.” In came
    Ustasha henchmen with bludgeons, knives and axes, killing all but one
    man – Ljuban Jednak – who played dead, then stole away from the mass
    grave he was dumped into. Pius and Pavelic continued exchanging “cordial telegrams,”
    as author Vladimir Dedijer – former cochairman of Bertrand Russell’s
    International War Crimes Tribunal – wrote in his 1992 book The Yugoslav Auschwitz and the Vatican. The Croatian Catholic press consistently published approving articles about the regime. In his forthcoming book The Krajina Chronicles: A Short History of Serbs in Croatia,
    Slavonia and Dalmatia, Dr. Srdja Trifkovic writes, “A part of the Roman
    Catholic hierarchy became de facto accomplices, as did a majority of
    the clergy. The leading NDH racial ‘theorist’ was a clergyman, Dr. Ivo
    Guberina… He urged Croatia’s ‘cleansing of foreign elements’ by any
    means. His views were echoed by the influential head of the Ustasha
    Central Propaganda Office, Fr. Grga Peinovic. “When the
    anti-Serb and anti-Jewish racial laws of April and May 1941 were
    enacted, the Catholic press welcomed them as vital for ‘the survival and
    development of the Croatian nation’… Archbishop of Sarajevo [then
    part of Croatia] Ivan Saric declared… ‘It is stupid and unworthy of
    Christ’s disciples to think that the struggle against evil could be
    waged… with gloves on.'” IN AN unusual move, Germany
    entrusted Croatia with running its own concentration camps, without
    oversight. Shamefully, clergy members took a voracious dive into the
    bloodbath, serving as guards, commanders and executioners at the 40
    camps, most famously Jasenovac, the Holocaust’s third-largest yet least
    spoken-of camp. There, they killed Serbs, Jews, Gypsies and anti-fascist
    Croats. On August 29, 1942, a friar from the monastery of Siroki
    Brijeg, named Petar Brzica, won first place for killing the most Serbs
    in the shortest time, boasting 1,350 throats slit in one night.
    Historian Carl Savich quotes an AP report stating that “a priest from
    Petricevac led Croat fascists, armed with hatchets and knives, to a
    nearby village. In the 1942 attack, they butchered 2,300 Serbs.”
    Testimony from a survivor of that February 7 massacre, Selo Drakulic,
    reads: “Prior to killing the adults, unborn children were violently cut
    from their mothers’ womb[s] and slaughtered. Of the remaining children
    in the village, all under the age of 12, the Ustashas brutally removed
    arms, legs, noses, ears and genitals. Young girls were raped and killed,
    while their families were forced to witness the violation and carnage.
    The most grotesque torture of all was the decapitation of children,
    their heads thrown into the laps of their mothers, who were themselves
    then killed.” Archive photos of sadism that would make horror
    filmmakers blush survive today: Ustashas displaying an Orthodox priest’s
    head; an eyeless peasant woman; Serbs and Jews being pushed off a
    cliff; a Serb with a saw to his neck; and a smiling Ustasha holding the
    still-beating heart of prominent industrialist Milos Teslitch, who had
    been castrated, disemboweled and his ears and lips cut off. Italian writer Curzio Malaparte in his 1944 book Kaputt
    offers this detail: “While [Pavelic] spoke, I gazed at a wicker basket
    on the Poglavnik’s desk [which] seemed to be filled with mussels, or
    shelled oysters… ‘Are they Dalmatian oysters?’ I asked. [Pavelic] said
    smiling, ‘It is a present from my loyal Ustashas… Forty pounds of
    human eyes.'” In their 1991 book Unholy Trinity: The Vatican, the Nazis and the Swiss Banks, reporter Mark Aarons and former Justice Department attorney John Loftus corroborate the grisly Croatian crimes, as does Genocide in Satellite Croatia 1941-1945 by Edmond Paris: “The Italians photographed an Ustasha wearing two chains of human tongues and ears around his neck.”
    It has been 60 years, and the world still doesn’t know the story of
    wartime Croatia, where not only did the Vatican not speak out against
    crimes, not only was it complicit in the genocide of a million people,
    but it subsequently never expressed remorse for the spilled Orthodox
    blood as it’s done for Jewish blood. Because the world never demanded
    it. Which points to the same apprehensions that have dogged Jewish
    groups about the Vatican’s genuineness, especially with its reluctance
    to open archives about Pius’s World War II conduct. ONE CAN’T
    help wondering whether the Vatican as an institution was silently
    cheering the decimation of its Orthodox rival. Stepinac, who was
    photographed blessing the Ustashas before an upcoming battle or
    slaughter, reported in May 1944 the good news about 244,000 forced
    conversions to Pius. (Pius himself might have caught BBC
    broadcasts such as on February 16, 1942: “The Orthodox are being
    forcibly converted to Catholicism and we do not hear the archbishop’s
    voice preaching revolt. Instead it is reported that he is taking part in
    Nazi and fascist parades.”) Observing the liquidation of Croatia’s
    Orthodox, Heinrich Himmler’s second-in-command, Reinhard Heydrich,
    wrote a February 17, 1942, letter to Himmler stating, “It is clear that
    the Croat-Serbian state of tension is not least of all a struggle of
    the Catholic Church against the Orthodox Church.” It is not Jews to whom the Church owes the biggest apology over World War II, but Serbs. If by not speaking out about Europe’s
    Jews Pius hoped to avoid endangering millions of Catholics, what could
    have been the reason for not speaking out about Croatia, which itself
    horrified the Nazis to the point that German and Italian soldiers
    started shielding Serbs from Ustashas? And what would have been the risk
    to the faithful inside Croatia? A July 5, 1994, Washington Times
    article attempted to get to the bottom of why so little is known of the
    Croatia chapter of World War II, and why Jasenovac is so rarely spoken
    of: “For years the gruesome details… remained officially taboo.
    Although documents and eyewitness accounts were at first ignored, and
    then mysteriously removed from international archives… [i]t now
    appears that a vast international conspiracy involving Marshal Josip
    Broz Tito… [and] the United Nations,
    some Vatican officials and even Jewish organizations strove to keep the
    Jasenovac story buried forever… Tito’s watchwords were ‘brotherhood
    and unity,’ and to pursue these high goals he tried to erase the chapter
    of Jasenovac. The West generally went along, particularly after Tito
    broke with Stalin in 1948. The Vatican wanted to protect Roman Catholic
    Croats, who had been willing Nazi proxies in the Balkans. “The silence of Jewish organizations is less easily explained… [The late Milan Bulajic, of Belgrade’s Genocide Museum, met] officials of the Holocaust Museum
    [in Washington to] find out why no one mentions the Yugoslav Jews who
    died there. He did not seem to get a clear-cut answer… When Yugoslavia
    fell apart in 1991… troops of newly independent Croatia briefly
    captured the site and, according to Serbian sources, blew up whatever
    was left of the camp and destroyed all remaining records.” An
    apology is also owed to Catholic clergy whose appeals the Church
    ignored. Archbishop Misic of Mostar, Herzegovina, asked Stepinac to use
    his influence with authorities to prevent the massacres. And Bulajic
    wrote of a group of Slovenian Catholic priests who were “sent to the
    Jasenovac camp because they refused to serve a mass of thanksgiving to
    Ustasha leader Ante Pavelic… One of the imprisoned Slovenian priests,
    Anton Rantasa, managed to escape… On 10 November 1942, he informed
    [Stepinac and the papal legate Ramiro Marcone]… on the crimes of
    genocide being perpetrated at Jasenovac. He was told to keep silent.”
    Similarly, historian Savich writes, “It bears noting that Stepinac was
    tried and convicted… by Roman Catholic Croats… under the regime of a
    Roman Catholic Croatian… Many of the historians who documented the
    Ustasha NDH genocide were Roman Catholic Croats, such as Viktor Novak.” In his 1950 book Behind the Purple Curtain,
    Walter Montano wrote of the Stepinac trial: “A parade of prosecution
    witnesses testified at Zagreb, on October 5, 1946, that Catholic priests
    armed with pistols went out to convert Orthodox Serbs and massacred
    them… Most of the witnesses were Croat Catholic peasants and
    laborers.” INDEED, JUST as blame for tacit approval of a
    genocide and subsequent escape for the perpetrators can’t fall merely on
    “a few individuals,” it’s more than a few individuals who deserve
    credit for the opposite. For example, Jews were saved by the entire
    Catholic nation of Italy (in its sovereign pre-1943 form), including the
    commandant of the Ferramonti concentration camp, who “said his job was
    to protect the inmates, not kill them,” as UPI reported in 2003. Not
    surprisingly, Italian soldiers also intervened in the slaughter of Serbs
    by Croats and Axis-aligned Albanians in Kosovo. Unfortunately, rather than distancing the Church from Aloysius Stepinac, the Vatican-centered newspaper L’Osservatore Romano
    responded that the “trial was a trial against the Catholic Church.” New
    York cardinal Francis Spellman outrageously named a parochial school in
    White Plains after Stepinac, and in 1952 Pius XII made him cardinal.
    Then, despite requests by the Simon Wiesenthal Center to hold off until the cardinal’s wartime role could be better assessed, Pope John Paul II beatified Stepinac in 1998.
    Croatian groups (and some Croatian Jews) even appealed to Yad Vashem to
    give Stepinac the Righteous Gentile title, since he saved some Jews on
    condition of conversion. To which Yad Vashem had to reply in almost
    absurd terms: “Persons who assisted Jews but simultaneously collaborated
    or were linked with a fascist regime which took part in the
    Nazi-orchestrated persecution of Jews, may be disqualified for the
    Righteous title.” The same should be said to Pope Benedict
    about his efforts to canonize Pius XII. Even as it denied Stepinac’s
    well known association with the Ustasha, Pius’s Vatican served as the
    conduit for smuggling the Ustashas out after the war. According to
    declassified US documents introduced in a recent class-action lawsuit
    against the Vatican Bank for laundering Ustasha loot – used to finance
    the Ustashas’ escapes and postwar sustenance – Pavelic was hidden in a
    Croatian Catholic monastery in Rome,
    where the office of the American Counterintelligence Corps on September
    12, 1947, reported that “Pavelic’s contacts are so high, and his
    present position is so compromising to the Vatican, that any extradition
    of subject would deal a staggering blow to the Roman Catholic Church.”
    From Rome, Pavelic fled to Argentina, where he became a security adviser to Juan Peron, who issued thousands of visas to fleeing Ustashas. Haaretz in 2006 reported that Msgr. Giovanni Battista Montini, Pius’s undersecretary of state and later Pope Paul VI,
    learned of “the investigation [that US Army counterintelligence agent
    William] Gowen’s unit was conducting. Montini complained about Gowen to
    his superiors and accused him of having violated the Vatican’s immunity
    by having entered church buildings, such as the Croatian college, and
    conducting searches there. The aim of the complaint was to interfere
    with the investigation.” A May 2007 press release from
    plaintiffs’ attorney Jonathan Levy in the Vatican Bank case states, “To
    date, the Vatican attorneys… [are] insisting that the Vatican Bank’s
    money laundering scheme for Axis plunder violated no international law,
    since the Ustasha’s victims, mainly Orthodox Christian Serbs, were
    technically citizens of ‘Independent’ Croatia. The unrepentant tone of
    the Vatican bodes poorly for Pius XII and the current controversy
    involving his elevation to sainthood.” THE VATICAN’S ongoing
    World War II identity crisis was evident last September when, after
    prodding from Croatian leaders, Zagreb Archbishop Josip Bozanic paid a
    60-year-late visit to the Jasenovac memorial site, the first official
    representative of the Croatian Church to attend the annual memorial
    ceremony. Instead of an apology, Bozanic defended Stepinac and the
    Church, and used the long-awaited moment to also mourn the massacre of
    fleeing Nazis by partisans in Bleiburg, Austria
    – where an annual, Croatian government-sponsored commemoration ceremony
    is well attended by Catholic dignitaries. Bozanic was not reproached by
    the Vatican, which also doesn’t reproach the Croatian Church’s
    tolerance of the ubiquitous pro-Nazi symbolism in that country, which
    reemerged as Croatian “culture” in the early 1990s. President
    Stjepan Mesic himself, who just left office after 10 years, had to
    recently ask the Vatican to pay closer attention to a bishop and
    military chaplain who regularly recites a violent poem that ends with
    the Ustasha saying: “For the fatherland, ready.” This is the
    Balkan country that’s on the fast-track for EU membership. That’s where
    decades of evasion, deflection and cover-up get us, something that
    contributed to John Paul II’s
    own neglect of Jasenovac – the Balkans’ largest killing grounds –
    during his three trips to Croatia. It also leads us to last December’s
    spectacle of Pope Benedict having a private audience with Marko
    Perkovic, lead singer of the notorious clerical-fascist Croatian pop
    band Thompson, which regularly invokes “For the fatherland, ready” and
    had odes to concentration camps on earlier albums. Many Thompson fans
    engage in Nazi salutes, and nuns and politicians attend the “patriotic”
    concerts. People bury history in order to repeat it. John Ranz, chairman of Buchenwald Survivors, in a 1996 letter to The New York Times,
    wrote: “Ironically, with US help, [1990s president] Franjo Tudjman was
    able to accomplish last year what the Nazis and their World War II
    collaborators could not, namely the uprooting of the entire Serbian
    Krajina population… The World War II fascist regime of Ante Pavelic is
    being officially rehabilitated in Croatia today. Streets and public
    buildings are being named after the architects of the Holocaust,
    Nazi-era currency revived, while the numbers and scope of the human
    carnage are being rewritten.” Had history not been dumped into a mass grave, Western publics might have been allowed a fuller understanding of the Balkan wars,
    given that by 1991 it was “normal to kill Serbs,” as Zarko Puhovski, of
    the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, put it. When Croatia seceded
    from Yugoslavia in June 1991 – and the Vatican was the first to
    recognize it despite a UN resolution warning this could imperil a
    peaceful solution – survival dictated that the Serbs secede from the
    secessionists. “A few days after the Croatians declared war,” writes
    historian Israel, Pope John Paul II “sent a letter to the Yugoslav
    government demanding it not suppress the rebellion.” And so it was that
    in 1991 three Croatian soldiers saw “truckloads of bloated, stinking
    bodies, mothers and children blown up by bombs, and someone wearing a
    necklace made of ears,” Reuters reported on January 28, 1998.
    And so it was that president Tudjman was a prominent guest at the
    inauguration of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1993, despite saying
    that “900,000 died, not 6 million,” and ranged from calling Jasenovac a
    “myth,” to blaming Jews for the killings there, to offering a formal
    apology for the 20,000 Jews killed there – but not for the several
    hundred thousand Serbs. And so it was that in 1995, as Croatian soldiers
    with Ustasha insignia cleansed the Krajina of Serbs – under US air
    cover – the Glina massacre survivor Ljuban Jednak once again fled for
    his life, dying a refugee in 1997. And so it was that in 2005,
    when then Hague prosecutor Carla del Ponte learned that indicted 1990s
    war criminal Gen. Ante Gotovina was being sheltered in a Franciscan
    monastery in Croatia, the Roman Catholic lady found herself  “‘extremely
    disappointed’ to encounter a wall of silence from the Vatican” which,
    she told the Daily Telegraph, “could probably pinpoint exactly which of Croatia’s 80 monasteries was sheltering him ‘in a few days.'”
    And so it was that at the 2006 inauguration of the spruced-up Jasenovac
    memorial, the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Efraim Zuroff observed “the
    absence of any identification of the individuals responsible for the
    crimes described… I was amazed that none of the speakers mentioned…
    Croatia’s greatest achievement in facing its Ustasha past – the
    prosecution and conviction of Jasenovac commander Dinko Sakic… Could
    it be that the punishment of such a criminal… is so unpopular, even in
    today’s Croatia…?” And so it was that Sakic was buried last
    July in full Nazi uniform, with a Father Vjekoslav Lasic – one of many
    who hold masses in honor of Ante Pavelic – officiating. “Independent
    State of Croatia is the foundation of today’s homeland of Croatia,”
    Lasic said. “Every honorable Croat is proud of the name Dinko Sakic.”When
    no Croatian official of stature spoke out against the display, Zuroff
    called on the president to condemn the organizers and remind Croatian
    society that Sakic brought it shame, not pride. In enshrining
    the Church’s divided World War II loyalties by canonizing the
    ambivalent pope at the time, the Church would be announcing to the world
    what it’s made of. But the Church is better than the sum of its nastier
    parts. Canonizing Pius XII would be unjust to Catholics who did more
    than he, and an insult to Catholics everywhere. Pius shouldn’t be
    demonized, but he shouldn’t be sanctified. The writer specializes in the Balkans, and is an unpaid advisory board member of the American Council for Kosovo.

    Se querem que vos diga, eu mesmo ás vezes penso que Deus não existe! Contudo, sinto exactamente o contrário. Sei que os cristãos, muitas vezes sentem “raiva” de vocês os ateus pois vocês têm os vossos argumentos para acreditarem que Deus não existe e tais argumentos na maior parte das vezes deixam os cristãos á flor da pele, por exemplo sem querer apontar dedos a ninguém (mas voces têm cérebros e são inteligentes, por isso sabem de quem eu falo) mas sei que há um cristão que debate contra voces nos comentários e essa não é a melhor forma de nós (cristãos) nos “apresentarmos” a voces. Vi algumas coisas ofensivas contra cristãos neste site (mas também a culpa é minha pois eu é que vim cá) coisas que me deixaram tristes, mas percebo que é o que voces sentem e a mensagem que voces querem dar, espero que um dia possam encontrar Deus como eu encontrei (ou não, pois Ele dá-nos escolha para o seguimos ou não, somos livre). Gostava que voces soubessem que a Bíblia não é só um mero livro ( como penso que voces o vêm, nao sei se o vêm mais como um livro histórico ) mas sim algo que está sempre atual apesar do mudar dos anos e espaços, e ainda é mais do que isso é para nós a palavra Dele, palavra que até muitos cristãos desrespeitam.
     Mesmo sendo ateus voces são humanos e sentem amor, por isso desejo que a comunidade ateia em Portugal viva com amor e paz. Paz que muitas vezes é abaldroada por nós cristãos (e outras religiões) mesmo não pertencendo á fé católica sei que os ateus sofreram ás mãos deles durante o tempo da Inquisição e penso que ainda hoje sofrem, mesmo que isto não vos diga nada, Peço Desculpas pelo o que eles fizeram pois não é um acto vindo de Deus (mas sim do homem e do inferno).
