The Good Atheist

When you think about the sexual revolution of the 60’s, what is the first thing that comes to mind? I usually picture a bunch of hippy chicks burning their bras and having crazy orgies, but that’s only because I watch way too much old school porn. Of course, not everyone associates the sexual liberation with the wonderful “imagery” of peace and love. Take Bishop Walter Mixa for example; he recently stated that the abuse of young boys and girls by Catholic priests is because of the sexual revolution of the 60’s.

The so-called sexual revolution, in which some especially progressive moral critics supported the legalisation of sexual contact between adults and children, is certainly not innocent,” he said, adding that the media was also at fault.

Yep, this jackass actually thinks that child molestation started when regular folks like you and me started having a healthier attitude about sex. He also blames the media, because who doesn’t love doing that nowadays?

Does he actually believe that abuses never happened before the 60’s? How exactly does he make the association between the sexual liberation of consenting adults with the villainous physical abuse of small children?

If his name sounds vaguely familiar to you, this is the same man who claimed that atheism had lead to the genocide of Jews and the rise of Nazism:

…the godless regimes of Nazism and Communism, with their penal camps, their secret police and their mass murder, proved in a terrible way the inhumanity of atheism in practice

Now because he’s a Bishop, I guess he figures it’s within his rights to just make shit up, including defending the Catholic Church from the harsh reality of history. Should we take this idiot seriously? Of course not, but try telling that to the thousands of people who believe in every word he utters out of his poisonous mouth. The world makes me want to weep sometimes…
