A nephew just graduated from the law school at Emory University in Atlanta.
My brother-in-law, currently finishing a short visit to Utah en route back to his home in the Pacific Northwest, was there at Emory for his son’s graduation.
He told me tonight that Emory’s commencement speaker was Sir Salman Rushdie, of Satanic Verses fame.
Mr. Rushdie, my brother-in-law recounted to me, told the graduates of Emory’s Candler School of Theology sitting there in the audience that they had wasted their time, since there is no God.
At least three times, in his inspirational remarks, he assured Emory’s graduating class and their families that God doesn’t exist.
Only when we give up such ridiculous notions will the world begin to be a better place.
Emory University was established in 1836 by the Methodist Episcopal Church.
