I love how none of the other... uhh... reporters?... dared to mention there was irony in his statement. They knew they would have been vaporized the moment they cut to commercial, though not by any divine hand...
The only thing that was missing from there was a couple of seconds of pure silence while the other three would think about who is going to point that inconvenient fact to him :D
Then again this is fox, so perhaps the irony didnt even occur to them.

Exactly.

Well it's possible that years of Catholic guilt have eroded all notion of dissent amidst their little fantasy-land...
But you have to think that somebody there has a thought once in a while. Any thought! Maybe? I have faith.

Maybe we should all pray for them to be freed from their delusion that there is a God.

Yes, let us seek comfort in the collective recognition of the inexistence of anything our eyes cannot immediately agree upon! Reason is logic, and if anything trademarks the human race, it's certainly the prevalence of reason amongst the chattering of the emotional imperative!

Butt out, you soft-cocked atheist! You're accepting of their obviously psychotic behaviour, therefore you're not allowed in the Gentlemen's Club of Anti-theism!

The real irony is that those whose faith is in logic seem to also be adherent to logic only when it suits their purpose. At all other times, viewing one's opponent through a lens of contempt and interrogating their opinion as though they arose from a child seems, to them, a reasonable approach.

Still haven't gotten around to doing my take on that.

Yeah, de-humanization of your opponent is not at all exclusive to any political or religious agenda whatsoever; everyone does it. It's so much easier to rally people into agreeing with you in the droves required to appropriate the appearance of progression when you demonstrate the opposition as commies, fascists, godless immoralists, the delusional, the retarded, etc.
"THOSE people killed Jesus, and control the media and were behind 9/11!vote for me"
"THOSE people were responsible for the Crusades, and the Inquisition, and Amway/Blackwater! vote for me"
"THOSE people don't understand morality because they neglect the power of God in their lives! vote for me"
Obviously, the one to side with is the one doing the most effective -painting. Via negativa.
