Archbishop of Parramatta

The archbishop of Parramatta has some interesting (see: fucking stupid) things to say about atheism:

“GODLESSNESS and secularism led to Nazism, Stalinism, mass murder and abortion, according to Anthony Fisher, the new Archbishop of Parramatta, who has used his inaugural Easter message to launch a scathing attack on atheism, while ignoring the sex abuse scandals besieging the Catholic Church worldwide.”
I hope it’s not necessary to explain what’s wrong with that statement another than to say Fisher is a moron.

“''Last century we tried godlessness on a grand scale and the effects were devastating,'' he said.

''Nazism, Stalinism, Pol-Pottery, mass murder and broken relationships: all promoted by state-imposed atheism or culture-insinuated secularism.''”
Right, and given the recent sex scandals in the Catholic Church, you have no right to claim the moral high ground.

I would never make the argument that being an atheist makes you morally superior. It is just a shame to see the religious trying to convince others that they hold the high ground.
