Templeton prize gets atheists all flustered
DVH
exceptional contributions to affirming life's spiritual dimension".
This has totally confused the atheists. They're worried about what label to
attach to him, because his scientific record is excellent but he won't take
sides in the God wars they've artificially created.
And in the world of the atheist, everyone needs to be labelled. If you're
not for use, you're against us. Or, as Dawkins says, Reese is a Quisling.
Some examples of the total confusion Reese has caused among atheists are in
the comments to Pharyngula's article on the story:
"Meep, Meep! What a Looney Toon!"
"I mean, who the hell is Rees?"
The atheists who aren't confused are just bitter, angry and heaping insults
on him. Because nothing says "I'm in favour of rational debate" better than
saying the person you perceive as an opponent "sucks Christian ass".
"The money should mean he can afford some good-quality mouthwash; he'll need
it to get rid of the taste of Christian ass."
"The best thing that can be said about Martin Rees is that he is the
*former* president of the Royal Society" (says an atheist who doesn't appear
to have been president of the Royal Society).
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/04/faitheist_wins_templeton_prize.php
Once again, atheists demonstrate their simple-mindedness, their need to have
everything in black and white, their pressing desire to make sure
everything's labelled and in its box.
And once they're done with the insults, the comments quickly descend into
the traditional atheist therapy session in which they "express themselves"
and recount the occasion when they "discovered" religion was a load of
bullshit, and describe the hurt they have suffered ever since.
Because in the end, it's all about atheists!

That's a few reasons why they will heap abuse on him;
a) they really don't have time for anyone, even distinguished
scientists, who don't share their prejudices and
b) Jealousy, because he just scored over a million dollars!
c) no one gives a prize for atheism, because IT'S WORTHLESS! B^D
> And in the world of the atheist, everyone needs to be labelled.
Yup, they will brand you a theist if you dare to criticise their
pathetic ideology, they are masters of ad hom and abuse in lieu of
rational argument.

Dawkins is jealous, his star is waning,m he destroyed his credibility
over the bus ads proselytising, when he compromised his beliefs
to make them more acceptable.

The halfwitted child Christopher Lee proves my point by stamping his
childish feet and demanding that the world must UNDERSTAND HIM!
Why can't you morons even try and understand what an atheist is? Because
"you morons" don't give a fuck. "You morons" consider actions, not the
infantile labels Christopher attempts to put on people.
Why this deranged clot even thinks people care what an atheist is puzzling.
But despite mountains of evidence that nobody gives a shit what he is or
claims to be, he still demands that his label BE RESPECTED!
I AM AN ATHEIST, he declares, expecting a round of applause. The world yawns
and says "show us what you do, not what you claim to be. Then we might take
an interest, dimwit".

Poor pathetic baby Lee snips what he can't handle, then shows he can't quite
believe that more than one person doesn't agree with him and regards him as
an uncivilised and dishonest fraud.

No, you're the one confusing the atheists. You're using
English words and English syntax, but somehow what you
write still makes no sense.

See what I mean? You seem to be implying that before those
dastardly Dawkinites and their ilk showed up, Christianity
presided over two millennia of cooperation and religious
harmony, and never pressed for its own views to be placed
above those of other faiths, or no faiths.
In the real world, of course, far from being the artificial
creation of 21s-century atheists the "God wars" were
launched by Christians about 1600 years ago, and the only
reason the word "atheist" carries any significance is
because the religious have so long made such a big (read,
murderous) deal about the need to hold a certain set of
beliefs.
A person might also take from your words that you don't
understand one of the primary goals of the John Templeton
Foundation. The organization pumps a jillion dollars into
its long-term, high-stakes PR campaign to implant the into
people's minds the idea that science supports the
traditional ideas about spirituality. Of course, if science
actually had supported spiritual beliefs, there would be no
need for the foundation in the first place. But the
foundation's target audience tends to miss such subtleties.
So we're left the problem of your confused commentary. It
seems you want to take a peck at a couple of Internet
atheists for laughing at the Templeton foundation, but you
lack anything discerning or indeed comprehensible to say,
so you just whimper senselessly until you get bored with
your own remarks.

Under your definition of the term, you may well be right.

That sounds like an exaggeration.
As an intellectual position, it would surely "carry significance" if the
religious merely existed, occasionally publishing a pamphlet or two rather
than "making a murderous deal" about holding their beliefs.

None of this makes any difference; we will all find out in the end -
or not as the case may be.
Just enjoy the time you have left, because it may be shorter than you

So... If I understand the article correctly, a religious organization
is giving a "spritualist" a prize for bad science.
Why should I care about this again?

I'm grateful to the Templeton Foundation for sponsoring
lecture series where I could go here a range of attitudes,
from full-blown theist to unrelenting atheism, and points
between. Simon Conway Morris was particularly
outstanding.
However, I no more care about their prize than I do about
who the Church has cannonized this week.
Some scientists -- including some very fine scientists --
are believers. This is hardly a stop-the-presses
discovery.
All that said, I think they're throwing bad money
after bad in their endless, expensive quest to
show that science supports God, their flavor of.

You have asked every last atheist have you?
They all had an identical reaction?
Thats incredible! (And I mean that literally.)

Atheists created the God wars?

No - I don't think Martin Rees had to do *any* bad science to get the
prize - just say nice stuff about religion.
It's a bloody good lurk - you generally don't get paid big bucks for
doing science.
Many people wouldn't take the money but ... Its a million dollars -
for saying something nice about the superstition industry.
> Why should I care about this again?
That is a mystery.

Correction: it's a million pounds - thats about 1.6 million dollars.

It is intentionally set to exceed the Nobel prize.
Which is kinda perverse.
