[quote=Anonymous]My brother is a priest at St. Rose of Lima parish in Newtown.  He was a first responder.  He has been ministering to the families and the community ceaselessly.  Their memorial mass last night was overflowing.

While reading the news coverage of the vigil, I see countless comments by strident atheists mocking everything about faith and God, from MSNBC to CNN to Huffington Post...everywhere.  Who are these people?  Why are they spending their time in the wake of this tragedy smugly proclaiming people of faith to be fools?

I even saw one article slamming an elderly priest who was interviewed immediately after tending to families at the fire station for "laughing inappropriately," insinuating he thought this devastation was funny, when it was clearly a hysterical, sobbing reaction to trauma.

My small request to anyone who is tempted to proclaim the atheist gospel to give it a rest for now.  Show some respect.  If you have no words of comfort, just don't say anything at all.[/quote]
