        @sapinker @tnr A pretty unedifying piece. Obvious, pedestrian and with a jarring snarkiness.

        @sapinker @tnr the article is atheistic fundamentalist nonsense. As if the theist's desire to ascribe a Cause to God changes the science

        @ldelvalle @sapinker @tnr Faithful think so. Why is the pope/church having any authority in scientific phenomena?

        @bluenumeral @sapinker @tnr actually if you weren't subject to atheist fundamentalist propaganda you would know that they don't.

        @sapinker @godless_mom @tnr Francis's claim "God is not a divine being" is just downright weird.
