He will be drinking fine wines and eating the best food money can buy and someone else will be serving it up to him. He will never break sweat live in a fine home and never feel the cold. I’d say life is gona be just peachy!!

Nothing, as usual. He should be in jail but the justice system in this country does not have the courage to challenge the church.

They get it all right,,they just don’t understand how people could have the cheek to tell them that it is wrong to rape children.

Joe…. Honest question here. Is that all you think about? I’m pretty sure it the only thing you say on here.

The church and most religions are in my opinion corrupt evil and should be exposed for what they are.
Religion does horrible things to people and I find it fascinating but disturbing how people will find an excuse to ignore the crimes that the clergy commit….maybe this is my own personal anger management but I do stick to facts and the truth.
Mike I hope that answers your question….
I do have a lot more interests but this is what this thread is about.

I agree with Mike. Joe appears to have major issues with the Catholic Church and if at all possible in any news story will start spouting vile and baseless nonsense.
It seems to me there are some issues you need to have looked at Joe because no one with any level of intelligence or education can make statements like you do unless there are some unresolved disturbances.

Joe Sixtwo’s issues with the RC Church are typical of a lot those who were once true believers and then suffered the huge disappointment of losing their faith. They have never gotten over the pain of losing the God that failed them. It’s as if an adult were to go through life bemoaning that Santa Claus doesn’t exist. Joe and numerous other militant atheists on these forums channel their anger and angst at such a gap in their lives by attacking the Church that, subconsciously, they feel has deserted them (even though they will consciously assert they deserted it.) They rationalise the justification for such attacks on scandals such as child abuse etc – and of course, they were scandals and the Church deserves to be criticised for them – but the level of vitriol and hatred from Joe and others goes beyond rational commentary and is pathological in origin. As I say, Joe and his ilk will not be aware of such a process in action but it is pretty obvious to anyone with an understanding of psychology.

Lt.mr.Worf “baseless nonsense” is what religion is , not just the various flavours of Christianity but all religions.
“Vile baseless nonsense” is when the pope tell people in Africa that condoms help spread aids rather than protect them.
yes I do tend to rant a little about religion, but you will find that my rants are factual and are not based on fairy tales.

I have tried but I simply can’t bring myself to remain silent when people spout dangerous nonsense.

@ Joe – unfortunately little can be done for someone like you. You seriously need to lose this chip on your shoulder before it seriously starts affecting your life.

To be fair the catholic church is the largest criminal organisation uncovered in Europe. If it was any other organisation it would have been persecuted and people would have been jailed just for being a member.

I therefore fully understand the frustration of the Irish people that have enough from the cover ups. These are not “militant atheists” these are people with a higher moral than the leaders from this church.

I cannot understand that people are still bringing their money to this criminal oganisation

LT .MR.Worf stick to the issue.

I will assume I am therefore correct since this is the best response you can come back with. It is also noted you didn’t respond to Tertullian’s insightful post.
Continue with your bitterness – it is only yourself who will suffer in the long term.

@tretullian ……..elementary my dear Watson point out some uncomfortable facts to The faithful and they think you are mentally disturbed….not exactly new tactics,the church used to get away with that crap for years……they don’t any more!

@mike I simply pointed out facts,lets discuss facts not personal opinions on my motives for posting.

Sorry the last reply was for lt mr Worf

Why does rational critique of the creation myths of Bronze Age nomads constitute angry or militant anything? You can’t get angry with characters from fairy tales.

U sooo funny :)

I’d rather see them on the news than the likes of Cheryl Cole telling us she’s depressed because her life has be such a struggle.

Is that so Milke?
I’d much prefer to hear someone speak and share their real life experience about taboo subjects such as depression regardless of who they are. Even more so if they are not part of an organisation whose actions have had a detrimental effect on the mental and physical health of many people.

Well said

#Joe Sixtwo That’s not a nice thing to say.

Sorry

Absolutely right. A load of tripe being pedaled to the ignorant masses who lap it up.
