Four kids & mom of Catholic family die in a house fire.

The fire appears to have been caused by a wood stove:

The dad and his daughter survived.  The home may not have had working smoke detectors.

Okay, this is sad, and there was probably stupidity involved. But can you really chalk this up to Catholicism or christianity, or religion? It's just rural cusidness. Cities and more secular people have their own fire idiocies. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me...story.html

Some people who are religious are stupid. So are some atheists I know. The difference I see is that few atheists are atheists because they are stupid or mendacious, while quite a few religious extremists are extremists because they are one the other or both.
