Introducing Su Nombre en Vano

Diego joined the Atheist Blogroll and been kind enough to provide an introduction to his blog.

In the author’s own words:

Hello! My name is Diego, I'm Peruvian, but now live in Southern California, and just asked Mojoey to include my blog, “Su Nombre en Vano” in the Blogroll. Why “Su Nombre en Vano”? It’s Spanish for “His Name in Vane”, part of the Catholic Church’s second commandment, church in which I grew up.

As you will notice, my blog is written in both English and Spanish, but Spanish will have a little bit of preference. The reason is that Latin-American countries, like mine, suffer from poverty and ignorance much more than English speaking countries. That’s the sad truth. So, in that environment, religion has much more chances to prey on people who desperately need hope to keep on. But that also brings the bigotry, ignorance and hatred that religion preaches, usually disguised as “the word of god”. So, it’s the name of that god that will be mentioned, to point out the atrocities, abuse, hatred and nonsense committed in his name.
