“Suppose
I circulate England, Scotland and Wales denouncing a belief in ghosts and
centaurs. What would happen to me? She (the atheist) said I would be crazy.
They would lock me up. I said do you not put God in exactly the same category
as these phantoms of the imagination? Why then would I be crazy attacking
ghosts and centaurs, and you are not crazy attacking God? ……
It’s
because when I attack these phantoms of the imagination, I am attacking
something that is unreal. But when you attack God, you are attacking something
just as real as the thrust of a sword, or an embrace…..
Could
there ever have been prohibition without something to prohibit?
Could
there ever have been anti-cigarette laws without cigarettes?
How
can there be atheism unless there is something to atheate?……
Atheism is not a doctrine, it is a cry of wrath”.
Venerable Fulton Sheen (hopefully soon
to be “Blessed” Fulton Sheen).
