"... prejudice towards out-groups.. has probably caused more misery throughout human history than any other factor... It is possible that the dislike of out-groups is to some extent inborn and reaches back to our tribal history. That does not justify it nor does it necessarily mean that it is impossible to control."

At least that's what this atheist believes. A very nasty man died. A liar and a rumor-monger. Now he's dead, and can do those things no more. By the same token, our vituperation aimed at him can't affect him, either. He is no more. The man no longer exists. Whatever evil he has done, he will do no more.

That, for me, is the good thing in this. His ugliness is finished. He is obliterated by the same thing that will obliterate us all. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say, and I'll have no more to say about the end of this person.
