why not just criminalize religion? the worries of the world will be gone.

Drink the blood of your savior.Marry 3 or 4 teenage girls.Get 72 virgins for blowin' folks up.Get reincarnated into a bug.Don't religion have some funny ideas? Just stay outta my bedroom!

This is exactly as I said, Steve. Hatred and intolerance come from all and any sides. Peace and tolerance are rare from any viewpoint. From the religious and non-religious, from hetero to homo, from every ethnicity and nation, it seems people can only feel good about themselves if they put down on and hate others. People seem to thrive on the "at least I'm better than you" mentality, rather than the "strive to be the best I can be" mentality.

The Roman Catholic Church is actually a foreign power headquartered in the State of Vatican City. The Holy See has a Head of State,the Pope. The State of Vatican City has a Head of State, the Pope. The Pope is Head of State of two completely separate and sovereign entities. A beast with two horns. The priests of the Roman Church represent a FOREIGN POWER. By passing themselves off as holy men they have raped children and now a priest told members that voted for President Elect Obama that they should seek forgiveness for doing so. The Roman Church is a FOREIGN POWER.It is a 5th column working under the guise of godliness. It seeks to bring the sovereign nation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA under complete control of the POPE of ROME. It is an EVIL that has intentionally hidden serial pedophile rapist priests. I have two words for that Panzer Pope and his clown priest posse and we all know what those two words are,don't we?

I have never seen more ignorance than in some of these blogs. The Church isn't trapped in the 14th century it's focused on the 1st. The century that bore Jesus, who, founded the Church and established St. Peter as the 1st pope. The church does not descriminate against homosexuality, but it will not support individuals who engage in this false representation of the sexuality that God created. They also don't support fornication of any kind, rape, molestation etc... A handful of priests that molested children, do not make up the Church, just as the many thousands that do outside the Church do not represent you or I.

"A handful of priests that molested children",was said by NM. NM,you just proved that you are clueless about what is going on in the U.S.A.(never mind the rest of the world). Investigate what they are doing in IRELAND. Every time I see a Roman Catholic Church shut down I'm overjoyed. A vow of poverty?I hope they have to sell everything they have to pay their victims. I hope they end up just as broken and traumatized as their victims are. I hope and pray that the Roman Catholic Church vanishes from the face of the earth, the sooner the better.

William, you're completely blinded by your hate. The Church, through its charities, organizations, and members, does a great deal of good for people in this world. But who cares about that, let's dismiss it, let's get rid of the Church b/c of what some have done. But according to you, it isn't some, but a majority? Your focusing on the actions of those who represent the Church in NO way, who live and act in complete contradiction to the Church's teachings. Do you think, as a Catholic, I have no problem with priests who have don't such horrible things? Do they represent me, or my faith? By far. But you can't accept that, however, you can't see beyond that and recognize the truth, which is easy to find, you can't look to the countless men and women throughout history and today, who are true examples of our faith, those who would put you and myself to shame by their character. No, you think you have it completely figured out, as if judging Americans for the govt. dropping two atomic bombs is fair, as if judging Germans b/c of Hitler is fair, as if judging Muslims b/c of terrorists who act in the name of their faith is fair...you're wrong, and will be until you let go of your hate, if you want to pray about something, pray that God will help you do so, b/c only then will your mind by clear enough to see the truth.

You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig.I consider the source. I understand how fragile people are.I know just how easily their "house of cards" world crumbles.I understand people want to defend their brand of reality.I have news for them. They have been had.They have been played as fools.The scales are falling off of the eyes of the blind and the nakedness of the ruler is discovered.Someone's delicate sensibilities have been offended.So what, don't confuse me with someone that cares about what the Pied Piper of Rome thinks. Just so you know, I feel sorry for the victims of the Roman fraud.They have been lied to and preyed upon by their masters from the beginning.That church is like an incestuous father that preys upon and abuses his own children or a global predator stalking the earth looking for victims.RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.Evil uses the good intentions,sincerity and integrity of its misguided dupes to further mislead others.Useful idiots as front men and women for the Pimp of Rome and he is pimping a real skank. They play hide the pedophile amongst themselves while their faithful play ring around the rosary(hypnotic mantra).Josef Ratzinger avoided testimony in a sex scandal case by way of diplomatic immunity because he was MADE Pope.Everyone knows they are full of crap. Nobody really believes that outfit is of the Lord. That crew is more like an organized crime syndicate than anything else.They are the counterfeit money of the spirit world. However, P.T. Barnum did say,"there is a sucker born every minute"and apparently he was right.

God help you.

God help us all
