Father Barron on atheists and hell

In This Video: Fr. Barron says, “Science is not very good at determing ultimate meaning.”

Dobbie’s Comment: Fr. Barron gibbers! There's no claim that science is good at determining ulitmate meaning.



Also In This Video: Fr. Barron says, “Catholicism, Christianity have been hijacked and used sometimes for very bad purposes by Christians themselves. But that in itself does not undermine the validity of the message.”

Dobbie’s Comments: Now let me get this straight. Christian doctrine claims that the Holy Spirit indwells Christians, but Fr. Barron says “Christianity has been hijacked and used sometimes for very bad purposes by Christians themselves. But that in itself does not undermine the validity of the message.” Okay, then I say atheism has been hijacked and used atheism sometimes for very bad purposes. But that in itself does not undermine the validity of atheism.

In This Video: Fr. Barron shares his ignorance, and says, “Atheism is the opiate of the masses. … [Atheists,] stop taking the drug that dulls your sensitivity to the very deepest longing of your heart. It’s religion that says stop taking the drug and wake up.”

In This Video: Fr. Barron squares the circle! Says God’s commanding atrocities in the Bible is to be read in a more moralizing way. “How do we read [about atrocities commanded by God]? Do we say, Well, this is God’s way of approving of violence? No, read it finally in light of Christ. Don’t read it as straighforward history. Don’t read it as naïve cosmology. Read it with spiritual eyes.”
Dobbie’s Comments: Well, the majority of Christians and churches interpret the Bible in its literal sense. But Fr. Barron says they mustn’t. So I say they shouldn't read the New Testament as “straightforward history” either.
