The amount of importance they place on the pope seems to be equal to the amount of importance you put on hate.

Who's being more constructive?

Who said anything about "hate?"

Disdain is NOT the same as HATE. :rolleyes:

Supposedly, Joan of Arc believed that her visions were sent to her by God. There probably aren't any similarities here though...

I agree mosquerade. You have a few sad, classless, atheist trolls who cant contain their childish impulses. You can bet that they wouldnt like to be assualted and then mocked afterwards. They are only speaking to themselves however as I ignore or just scroll through all of them.

Religion has done plenty of assaulting through history. Hell, it still continues today.

I'm assaulted every time those fucking mor[m]ons knock on my door.

Mormons going around giving door to door ass kickings? That sounds pretty cool and all, but come on.

Assaults come in the verbal variety, also. I had to threaten to call the police on some who continued to show up after repeated requests not to. Of course, I wouldn't have wimped out with the police. It would have been just me and mr.remington.

similar != same

hate: –verb (used with object)
1. to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest: to hate the enemy; to hate bigotry.
2. to be unwilling; dislike: I hate to do it.

disdain: –verb (used with object)
1. to look upon or treat with contempt; despise; scorn.
2. to think unworthy of notice, response, etc.; consider beneath oneself: to disdain replying to an insult.

I've always thought hate requires more of an emotional involvement than disdain does. It's subtle but indeed different.

Really? Infected priests are going around Africa having sex with people? I didn't read that anywhere. Link?

Well priests going around teaching the religious that you will essentially go to hell for wearing condoms in countries where the infection rate is in the high 20% range is just as good as signing peoples death warrants.

Am I the only one whose first reaction was laughing?

Just..... who would tackle the pope.... honestly. And the slow-motion of the pope getting taken to the ground... I couldn't help but laugh.

The Bible tells stories of people mobbing christ just to touch him. One lady crawled on the ground through the crowd to do so. Crazies! :rolleyes:
