Qualche giorno fa c'è stato un forte terremoto in Perù. In quei giorni Richard Stallman, un'icona del Free Software, era là per una serie di conferenze.
Una parte significativa è alla fine. Riguarda il commento al crollo di una chiesa durante una messa.
Si legge:
I read that a church collapsed on worshipers during mass; later I heard that the priest had been rescued. Believers surely attributed the rescue to the good will of a benevolent deity. They probably did not attribute the collapse to the ill will of an evil deity, but it would be equally logical. In the 18th century, an earthquake destroyed a cathedral in Lisbon, killing thousands of believers. Many in Europe began to doubt religion as a result.
