[Blunderov] The claim that Luigi Cascioli is "the most courageous atheist of
all times" is a little extravagant for my taste, but Italians are often
reputed to be a very demonstrative people. There is no doubt that Luigi
Cascioli is a strong atheist however, and I have nothing but admiration for
his principled stand.
Best Regards.

"If atheists repudiate traditional faith it is not only because this faith
is in contrast with the affirmations of believers themselves, with reason
that denies the idea of God, but because they have understood that false
dogmas go against true morality, against the social demands of the world we
live in. The belief in God is not only a simple illusion, a purely
theoretical error. It misrepresents the practical direction of life by
orienting it in a chimerical direction. It goes against the social realty,
against the essential needs of mankind which are the primary motor and the
ultimate goal of every morality".

I think that he is may just be another single issue ultraist loon, except he
happens to be on our side.
If it is the standing up for principles you admire, you ought really to
admire the priest too.
Kind regards,

[Blunderov] I do not admire avowing principles per se; it is perfectly
possible to sincerely affirm despicable principles. The principle for which
Cascioli stands is reason. The principle for which the priest stands is that
of faith. The priest may be a perfectly admirable fellow in other respects
but I do not admire, to put it mildly, the principle for which he stands.
I therefore do not admire the priest's stand, principled though I'm sure he
feels it to be.
Best Regards.
