perhaps he is Barack Obama's thought brother, they seem to be in agreement on most matters not related to procreation. Consider his talking points in the Philippines. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/15/pope-francis-limits-to-freedom-of-expression

He is nothing more than a 'simple' purveyor of reason by emotion.

It is so sad that we must suffer two fools in powerful positions at the same moment in history.

Catholics might believe that the Pope is infallible, but for the rest of the world it's completely possible for the Pope to be incorrect. When it comes to limits on freedom of expression, I'll lean on SCOTUS for informed and legal opinions. Making fun of Muhammad is not the same as yelling "Fire!" in the proverbial crowded theater. Denigrating Muhammad causes no physical harm to anyone. The people who feel emotional harm need thicker skin.

How about the ones that were shot?

Catholic leadership has made up more stuff than Hank and has flip-flopped more than a John Kerry bobblehead on Fox News.

At least they managed to molest a bunch of kids along the way and do a fairly good job of covering it up by playing musical chairs with the molesters.

For Catholics here, aren't you pissed that you've given money to support the church only to see it used to pay out molestation victims?

As KK tried to explain, it's the shooting that causes the physical harm, not the denigration. In this country it's legal to desecrate the American flag. It's sure as heck legal to blaspheme Muhammad. And screw 'em if they can't take a joke.

I'm kinda' stuck on 1st Amendment issues, here and everywhere (since the 1st A doesn't legally apply in other nations). So this stuff bugs me. Back when Iranian Ayatollah issued his Fatwa on Salmon Rushdie for his book that apparently blasphemed Muhammad, I thought the UK and US should have issued a Fatwa and $2 million bounty on the Ayatollah, just to show that we had both a sense of humor and a sense of justice.

Just as long as you don't make fun of my sky fairy. Make fun of someone else's sky fairy all you want.

why all the talk about Catholicism? you do know it is an offshoot of Christianity right? so basically if you are "Christian" and you are talking about another Christian faith, you are infact making fun of yourselves...

just sayin...


i am Catholic, but Christian/Catholic people in the past were just as barbaric as the Muslims are today, cept we evolved with the world, they are still living in 1000-1500 AD...

the only reason one would talk about another religion down grading it, would be because they are A Muslim, or B Atheistic... they are generally the 2 people that say everything of Christianity is wrong....

i say go fvck themselves....

The act of denigrating Muhammad hurts no one. But if you denigrate Muhammad you may get killed. I get it.


All out of pills for over 3 years since the last knee replacement, got extras john?

baptised and brought up that way Chuck, im not the type to knock on ones door to get them to convert, but i surely am not just someone that has no faith....

people can do whatever they like, doesnt bother me one bit...

but when a "Christian" makes fun of a "Catholic", i l the fvck o l....

You also aren't the type to go out looking for a job.

Just like it's the doctors at the abortion clinics fault that they got blown up...I mean, they shouldn't have been doing thing that shitferbrains right wing whacked out sky fairy knob goblins don't like.

Nate gives Catholics a bad name. And that is saying something considering they are a bunch of creepy old fu.cks like Hank.

thats all you got?

derrrr, im Yake im gonna go start sh!t with peepole on a post about relijun....


smooth work fvcktard...

Yes Nate, I have a job.

Nate, you claim to be baptized and raised catholic but as far as I can tell you were just raised to be a piece of shi.t. Same/Same?

For Heavens sake, most liberals realize that the problem is,

1. To many guns.

2. George W. Bush.

3. The NRA.

You may make your own choice.

No, the problem is that there are a lot of people who think that ignoring science, logic, and reason in favor of fairy tales, and then attempting to govern/legislate from there.

Get rid of that idiocy and the world is a much nicer place.

You go first, and I'll follow you.

They are the exact same idiots...all fundamenalists are the exact same idiots.

They attempt to assert their idiocrity by using it as the basis for science, governance, and social engineering.

The Christians think they are oh so special, and blame all the world's woes on atheists and Muslims.

The Muslims thing they are oh so special, and blame all the world's woes on atheists and Jews.

The Jews think they are the oh so most special, and blame all the world's woes on everyone except themselves.

To those who are not one of those three Sky Fairy believers it is obvious as all get out that all three are 100% exactly the same.

If they'd just all go out in the desert and kill each other no one would mind...in fact, all the fundamentalists would do it with religious fervor and joy, and the rest of the world would enjoy watching.

Unfortunately that's not what they do...they all take turns fuckking up everything else instead.

Todd, you are truly a simple fellow.

And you are the same dumbass, no matter how many times you run away and come back with a different moniker...full of the same shitt each time.

Fish on...

Todd

I have never ran away or changed my moniker, other than adding the Rev. I did that out of respect for another graybeard on this board.

You might consider some time in front of a looking glass.

you dont think there is fundamental extremist Atheists?

call it what you what, but Atheism is technically a religion of sorts, because religions are beliefs, and Atheism is a belief that nothing exists...


the truth of the matter, is that noone knows, when you die is when you will find out... you will still be dead however...

This thread has potential!

Having faith in politicians is every bit as delusional as having faith in a sky fairy!

To bad he is a Notre Dame recruit......

And you might consider hara kiri. It would be painful for you, but it would be good for the world.

Please consider it.

see i bother you, you shouldnt let that happen, other peoples actions or whatnot should never affect you...

WORK on that...

and no, it doesnt bother me, put it this way, you cant win this sh!t with me because i have zero cares about what you feel or think, 90 percent of all of it is wrong anyways... i will admit, i am not as smart as some of you, but i never said i was smarter...

you get what you give, always has, and always will be, dont like it, shut the fvck up then...

I thought you had an IQ of 400? Just maybe you are smarter than all of us dumbfvcks with jobs and businesses. When I turn off my alarm clock at 4:50 every morning I sometimes wonder why I keep doing it. Oh yeah, I'm a productive member of society with a successful business and a family with one kid in college and another in high school and a hot wife who likes nice things and traveling.
