"I would like to address Rich's comment at the top of the list. Please consider Northern Ireland. The bombings have slacked off lately, but for several decades last century, you had almost exactly that : Catholic nutters walking into malls…"

OJ Reeves commented on OJ Reeves's blog post 'Silence Speaks Volumes'"Ed,
I agree. The latest story of the paedophile investigator being jailed for child porn offenses is another great example. So far I haven't heard or seen anything from anyone of the Catholic faith about how disgusted they are…"
OJ Reeves commented on OJ Reeves's blog post 'Silence Speaks Volumes'"Albert,
Thanks for clarifying. While I can agree that criticism from me on this issue while trying to get religious folk to be critical of their might seem like a contradiction, I still think it's a valid thing to point. Without any influence…"
OJ Reeves commented on Bob Zane's blog post 'In the closet - the short form'"Hi Bob,
I wish I could say I feel you pain, but I haven't been in the position so I can only imagine what it must be like.
I agree totally with Ed. I think suppressing yourself will keep you unhappy and will make it all the more…"
Ed commented on OJ Reeves's blog post 'Silence Speaks Volumes'"Religious groups are not stellar when it comes to policing themselves. Case in point- the blind eyes of the Catholic bishops, cardinals, and pope to their subordinates pedophilia over the course of, what, a hundred years or more. Ah, the…"
Albert Bakker commented on OJ Reeves's blog post 'Silence Speaks Volumes'"I agree with you that it would be good and much more effective for (moderate) religious people to criticize the fundamentalist crazies. In fact I agree with you that this goes for any group as you have illustrated. In general in-group criticism is…"
OJ Reeves commented on OJ Reeves's blog post 'Silence Speaks Volumes'"Albert, could you clarify your point a little further for me please? Assuming that my claim is that I feel religious folk are in a better position to stop the extreme behaviour than the non-religious and, if not for the sake of religion then for the…"
Albert Bakker commented on OJ Reeves's blog post 'Silence Speaks Volumes'"The illustrated "cop out" is a clear demonstration of the no true Scotsman fallacy
But I doubt this pushy holier than thou approach will get you anywhere other than what you've already seen. And it depends on the specificities of the…"
Rich commented on OJ Reeves's blog post 'Silence Speaks Volumes'"What you have wrote here is right on the money and I agree with your views. I think Islam is the biggest problem in the world though. We dont see Catholic nutters walking into malls packing bombs because they're 'going to a better…"
OJ Reeves commented on Robert Karp's blog post 'The Truth About Mother Teresa - NOT From Hitchens'"Not surprising at all mate. It's good to see that someone other than a high-profile Atheist is happy to speak out. If only more were happy to do the same."

Silence Speaks Volumes
Posted on January 4, 2012 at 3:52pm 8 Comments 2 Likes
As a semi-vocal atheist I tend to post links, articles and stories about some of the horrible things that happen in religious circles to a variety of online social sites. On those sites I have contact with both believers and non-believers. Most of the time the discussion around the posts is quite interesting and in many ways positive, but not all of the time.
