We really needed another religion bashing thread.
You mean a thread where we take a political statement and point out the hypocrisy? Isn't that what this forum is for?
Oh, you mean with such intelligent comments like
"Hear, hear! The Pope can kiss my hairy behind. Well, he probably would, so, not really."
and
"Have you made ONE intelligent/cohesive post ever?"
You cannot filter the important from the unimportant here? Do the unimportant comments negate the real comments? Did you realize you failed to address the hypocrisy pointed out in this thread yet again?
I don't care about "the hypocrisy pointed out in this thread", I have addressed it before in countless other threads. Like I said, we really need another religion bashing thread.
How about I go start 10 different threads about the hypocrisy of Democrats voting for the war in Iraq, but now backpeddaling. Or how about the numerous statements of Democrats, including Bill Clinton, talking about WMDs in Iraq. I'm sure you and all your religion hating buddies will be there debating the points and pointing out the hypocrisy of the Dems. I'm sure none of you would say anything about how its been talked about to death on this forum, nope, you'll be debating the points right?
You don't have to look any further than the people in the thread to see the hypocrisy.
You could create threads about democrats if you'd like. I am not democrat, and they are often corrupt/wrong... You think I would deny truths when they are pointed out? Unlike you, I am capable of being critical of everything. I hate religion because I realize that the pope and the church are often(not all the time) hypocritical? Ok... good analysis... are you a psychiatrist!?
If the pope stopped making ridiculous statements, and if the super-religious people in this country stopped pushing their morals on everyone else, I assure you, you will see a sharp decline in commenting posts here.
Hating religion because you think that the pope is hypocritical is pretty silly. There is a huge difference between the Catholic church and other christians. I was raised Catholic, now I go to a non denominational christian church because I don't agree with Catholocism, so obviously I am critical of the Catholic church. But I guess you made up your mind about me before you even knew where I stood on the issue, just because I was tired of seeing religion bashing threads. Kind of like how you make up your mind on everyone because of what part of the country they are from.
Although you may think that its the "super-religious" pushing their morals and that they are in the minority, you are obviously wrong. The majority of the country is religious, and agrees with these morals. The people against religion are in the super minority in this country, no matter what you may think
Anyways, hating all religion because you don't like the Catholic church is dumb, thats like me saying that I hate all black people because most inner cities are crime ridden sh1tholes. Both arguments sound ridiculous.
I think you misread my post. Please read again. I had a "?" after my statement... This is meant to ask if this is what you think I think. Read-
"I hate religion because I realize that the pope and the church are often(not all the time) hypocritical? Ok... good analysis... are you a psychiatrist!?"
"Although you may think that its the "super-religious" pushing their morals and that they are in the minority, you are obviously wrong."
You have the right to think my opinion is wrong. The super religious have been in control for the last 6 years and they no longer hold majority power in either house. So much for your "everyone is religious so they agree with the super-religious" theory. Anti-abortion crusaders, anti- after morning pill crusaders, etc are all forcing their view of morals on everyone and they are NOT the majority, despite what you may think.
"Kind of like how you make up your mind on everyone because of what part of the country they are from."
Nope. One could actually know where someone else is from and take that into account without..gasp...discounting them entirely! I know I know.. it is shocking!
"But I guess you made up your mind about me before you even knew where I stood on the issue"
You mean like how you did by caling me anti-religious and a democrat?
I did not say "everyone is religious so they agree with the super religious". What I meant was that what you see as morals of the "super religious" are just the regular morals of most Americans. Most Americans are religious, and most Americans hold these morals. This last election did not have anything to do with religion or morals, it had everything to do with the ineptly run war in Iraq, at least thats how it seems to me.
You're right, I thought you were saying that you hate religion, it didn't seem like a question to me.
Thanks about the second point.
For the first point, you are wrong... Abortion and morning after pills are supported by the majority... just not the super religious... the ones that have blocked the morning after pills for so long etc.
Remember, the majority of the super-religious were supportive of:
Slavery
Wanting women to stay home-anti-women's rights
Pro-segregation
Anti-civil rights
Saying that the majority supports something in no way makes it right.
I look forward to our resident statesman's measured reply....
