I am starting to like this guy.

Not as I think he is a good person, but he is entertaining.

Once again, something ridiculous has come out of the mouth of Rafael Cruz. Apparently atheism, the absence of a belief in gods, leads to sexual perversion and sexual abuse.

Now, I am fairly sure that there are folks whom society would call sexual deviants in pretty much every spectrum of religious beliefs. One has to look no farther than the Catholic church to see it. A quick search of Google news can lead to numerous reports of theists behaving in a sexual fashion deemed both immoral and illegal by society.

At what point does this guy, the elder Cruz, become a political liability for his son's presumed presidential run? I am of the mind that the younger Cruz would wish his father would simply zip it for a while.

In an appearance before a gathering of OK2A, an Oklahoma Second Amendment advocacy group, Rafael Cruz, father of freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that atheism leads to sexual abuse of children.

In his talk, which took place earlier this month, the elder Cruz railed against atheism and secular humanism, which he said are two of the main ills facing our society.

Lets look, for example, at the behavioral consequences of these two foundations, Cruz said to the group. Well, if there is nothing, if there is no God, then we are ruled by our instincts.

There is no moral absolute, which means we operate by situational ethics, he said, which unfortunately is something being taught in every high school in America.

Situational ethics, explained Cruz, maintain that right and wrong depends on the situation. In other words, its a moral relativism.

Because atheists believe in doing whatever they want, and if there are no moral absolutes, then there will be nothing but moral anarchy, he said.

Do we know any politicians that have done that? he asked.

Hitler! volunteered Larry Pratt of the organization Gun Owners of America, who was in the audience.

Oh, we dont have to go that far, Larry, said Cruz. Just go to Washington. Just go to the White House.

Of course, this leads us, when there are no moral absolutes, he went on, leads us to sexual immorality, leads us to sexual abuse, leads us to perversion and, of course, no hope. No hope!

Without God, there is no moral absolutes. At the same time, many atheists are people with morality and a sense of right and wrong. Rafael Cruz sterotypes atheists way too much. Despite being a Christian, I find his statements against atheists to be very offensive and inaccurate. Atheists are simply in denial about their God-given sense of right and wrong. It's not like atheists don't have any morality.
