pro-atheistic propaganda

Thursday, February 19, 2026

I’m currently reading Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens for the second time. He’s really a master in explaining things. How the ability to “talk about things that don’t actually exist” (p 24) was the key to the success of Homo sapiens. How the consecration in a Holy mass is basically the same as the creation of Peugeot SA (p 31).

This book should be mandatory reading in every theological institute. It’s a bit unfortunate that this talented guy didn’t get in touch with modern church. He probably has met too many pre-concilean superstitious biblicists and traditionalistic fundamentalists, and not enough representatives of open-minded modern Christianity.

What I find remarkable, however, is that this man spends two books reveling in the ingenious human imagination and yet not once imagines the possibility that the visible world might not be the only one, that our intellect and our science might be limited.

On page 55 there’s a flagrant example of disinformation and pro-atheistic propaganda: “The generic rubric theists… Each of these viewed others’ beliefs as weird and heretical”. No sir, you forget to say that the polish rabbis and the other named groups are only a minority of the people called theists. You want to make us believe that theists would less tolerant than atheists. There is no evidence for such a statement. And by the way you are the one who is viewing my beliefs as weird and wrong.
