Catholic and Enjoying It!
It is notable that the miners are remaining quite cheerful through this ordeal, not by reciting long passage from The God Delusion, but by doing normal human things like building shrines to Our Lady and singing songs of praise to God. The atheist contribution to such situations–“Where is the god of ‘love’ now? Your meaningless Khrister existence is all coming to a pointless conclusion now, isn’t it, you losers!”–is but one of the many reasons that atheism doesn’t tend to catch on among normal people. Only a small percentage of the population can bear Napoleon Dynamite with a mean streak for long. And then only when life is pleasant enough that they can afford to spend the emotional capital to bear with jerks.
God bless and help those guys in the mine through our Lord Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, pray for them!
