Coast to Coast AM’s George Noory links atheism to “pure evil”
Coast to Coast AM is a late-night talk show, about 5 million listeners strong, covering topics like the paranormal, exobiology, and conspiracy theories. The show is hosted by George Noory, a “believer” who’s opinions seem weighted towards making him popular with his spiritually hungry audience.
Noory’s deluded psuedo-mystical opinions have exceeded my tolerance and must be exposed for the bullshit they are. The audience Noory attracts are avid and kinda gullible, and like the John McCain followers who worry that Obama is a Muslim, the stupidest theories stick. I don’t like to see ignorant people manipulated.
George spoke with Gary Schwartz on Wednesday, an intelligent design crackpot who buries his beliefs in scientifical jargon. On this fine Wednesday, George made it clear that he thinks a precondition for “pure evil” is atheism.
Is it safe to assume that pure evil does not believe in a higher intelligence, a higher consciousness, God, call it what you will?
See I don’t think they do. I think, and I’ve watched an evolution of people, as they become closer to what you have in this book, The G.O.D. Experiments, they become better people. They become more enlightened.
People that I have seen now, and witnessed in my life, who are what I call ‘pure evil’, some of them we see on the news, ok, see I don’t know them personally, but you know that they’re just not good people—I don’t think they believe in a higher intelligence! I don’t think they care—for some reason, people who believe tend to be better people, nicer people, they care about people.
George Noory is suggesting that ‘evil’ people—serial killers, murderers, Hitler and such—do not believe in God, and that is the precondition to their evil actions. If they were believers, they would be nicer, better, care more for others, become more “enlightened”.
If George had said the same thing about any other group of people, he would have lost his advertisers. It’s irresponsible and ridiculous to put an idea like that out there and think you’re going to get away with it.
Atheists are not evil. They are not more “likely” to be “evil” because an imaginary morality isn’t breathing down their neck. Evil is a concept in which they don’t believe; they ascribe actions—good and bad—to “personal responsibility”. People who don’t believe in bullshit are critical thinkers. That doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings, morality or judgment.
George Noory is a complete idiot. He’s the one who has the hamster killing fetish. If that’s not evil, then what is?
