Things Christians say, part 38: Aw - that's sad!

A weekly series of responses to the things Christians say to atheists, based on the video reproduced here on 30th January 2012.  The aim is to tackle one every weekend, to give both a moderate, polite response to each question ('Piano'), followed by a more forceful rebuttal of the same question ('Forte'). 

Aw - that's sad!

Piano

No its not sad at all. I feel quite the opposite now that I've escaped from Christianity.

Forte

Yes, I think it is sad that people are oppressed by religious clerics, that they find their lives controlled by people who know little about the scientific explanations of the world, and who make claims that they can't back up with any evidence.



Last episode: It doesn't make any sense - you're saying that something came from nothing?
