someone should inform the catholic church that hiding child molesters is a far worse crime than having sex outside of marriage. It might also be a good to remind the church that saying their blessed sacrament of marriage that no man can put asunder unless one pays a small fee to the church to allow for an annulment doesn't exactly scream consistency of effort or moral high ground...

What's truly annoying is hearing these believers tell me I must respect their religion because they have the right to believe whatever they like. That's patently untrue. The 1st amendment says the GOVERNMENT can't intrude into their religion, while the other component of the 1st amendment allows me to point out every single day just how ridiculous their belief system is when pedophiles are hidden and moved to another unsuspecting community to prey upon new victims and when the pope himself allows a sack of shit like the cardinal from Scotland to resign over sexual misconduct but retain his title...

They want to tell me about the morality of the actions of adults who have sex outside of marriage? Really? Perhaps when they can figure out how to maintain the morality of their disgusting group of organizationally protected sex criminals I might have a modicum of respect, until then they can kiss my ass as I will never respect an organization responsible for large scale pedophilia...it should be forcibly disbanded as an organization and removed from the lists of tax-exempt entities for those criminal acts just like any other RICO band of criminals.


Dear jurors, this is posted in the Atheist Forum a safe haven for Atheists to express their distaste for all things religious. It's not meant for general consumption by the DU religious faithful who seem to delight in misunderstanding the term safe haven and the concept that some people like me don't give a rat's ass what they believe since what they believe has as much evidentiary support as luminiferous ether or santa claus...

My apologies to those poor souls so afflicted but they should remain outside this group to avoid having to consider uncomfortable realities.
