Is There A Line In The Sand?

While watching Bones and reading The Irrational Atheist, it occurs to me: It is easier to get atheists to commit murder, even mass murder than it is to convince theists to commit murder. The story line from last season’s Bones had a character, Zach, who followed a logical pattern of thought to its conclusion, and helped a serial killer.
Zack was presented a line of thought that seemed logical. It was not until the main character showed him a severe flaw in the logic, that Zach realized he had been wrong to follow the train of thought and to help the serial killer. By then it was too late, Zach was an accessory to murder, or worse.
“At some point, you have to look at what’s happening, know its wrong, and run away.” A radio broadcaster from Jasper, TX made this statement in an interview during the trial of one of the three men convicted in the murder of James Byrd.
Like the character Zach, any real life person who follows logic and reason won’t reach that point. That still quiet voice whispering in their ear, “don’t do this, it is not right,” will be ignored. It must be ignored, for that voice is not logical. That voice is not the voice of reason. Reason shouts that voice down.
