Palestinian family evicted from their home of 70 years by Israeli settlers

Peace in this region seems to be but a myth.

Israeli settlers took over a Palestinian home in the Muslim quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City today, evicting about 45 members of an extended family which has occupied the building for more than 70 years.

The settlers claimed to have documentation to prove they had purchased the building from the owners. The Palestinian tenants, who have been fighting attempts to evict them for many years, were challenging the takeover in court.

The Ethics of Fear

Some theists will assert they couldn’t be good without god. To which I can only be weary and, quite frankly, a bit scared. The bible says nothing ill of rape or slavery– need I say more? Judging by the fact that many believers do not rape and enslave, it is safe to assume that they are more governed by the rule of law than that of a deity. This simply illustrates hows atheists can be good without god.

And abandon everything I believe in?

Atheist Cartoons: This I don’t believe

At some point, enough has to be enough. Catholics will have to make a decision as to either stay with a “church” that allows and covers up the molestation and rape of young boys and cast the current pope and priests aside in their minds as “not a real Catholics” or seek what they find in the Catholic church elsewhere.
