There’s just something wrong with somebody who says “Unless you can scientifically demonstrate that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ, I don’t understand why you should be upset at me for breaking into your house, stealing the thing most precious to you and defecating on it.” Normal people don’t have trouble figuring that out. Emotional defectives do. Not all (in fact, not most) atheists or unbelievers, in my experience, do this. Just the ones who make atheism their raison d’etre. And the internet tends to disproportionately represent such emotional defectives for a number of reasons. First, because you just don’t hear from unbelievers who aren’t obsessed with making everybody else know how stupid they are. Second, because the computer in the basement is the Best Friend to the emotional defective (and the coward) who would never dream of going around insulting people face to face, but who can get out all his aggressions on line. The Internet is a breeding ground for human toothaches who, for good reason, never get invited to parties and who explain this to themselves by saying “The world is unworthy of my Great Thoughts.”

This all has to do, of course, with P. Z. Myers and his half-hearted threat to desecrate a Eucharistic host. In the end, the whole outing is probably for the best, as it paints a very clear picture of just what overt hatred of God does to a person’s intellect and mental stability.

Still, it’s a disgusting act of anti-Catholic bigotry on the part of a tenured professor. In a just world, Myers’ particular brand of feverish mind would find its only audience in white, padded walls, rather than in a classroom full of unsuspecting students.
