Just another cruel, arrogant atheist rant...YAWN... [View all]

For newcomers - Michael Nugent is the head of Atheist Ireland (and was recently re-elected to that job). Nugent has spent much of his life tangling with opponents like the Irish Catholic Church and the IRA.

In 2011 his wife, Anne, died of cancer at a cruelly young age. She donated her body to an Irish medical college for study by future doctors.

The link takes you to Nugent's article about it. I thought some of you might like to read it. Then think of how often atheists are accused of arrogance, cruelty, having no feelings, etc.
