You've made that abundantly clear over and over and over and over again.

There are many however to whom the Catholic Church and religion in
general are major parts of their lives. How they practice their faith
and how involved they are are personal decisions to which they are
entitled. You have no right to establish the "rules".

Why do you insist on jamming your non-interest in what is important to
them "down their throats"?


I do have the right to do what I can to make sure "the religious" don't
shove or try to shove their beliefs down the throats of our
non-sectarian society. Why should they be allowed to do that?

And the religious have the right to make sure that you don't shove your seclar humanism down
the throats of the religious society.

Why should you be allowed to do what you do?

I don't give a damn what the religious do or say in their churches or
homes in terms of forcing their smallmindedness on each other.

Too bad their isn't a right to not be offended.

I will admit to giggling inside when several of the self-proclaimed
"christians" here make fun of minorities or the poor. I'm sure that's
what Jesus would want them to do, eh?

Their behavior pales in comparison to yours.

Krause is so vile that if a Viper bit him, the snake would die.

Krause now thinks himself the cure of everything.

How utterly narcissistic.

Conservatives may hate Pope Francis, but the American people love him
more by a landslide according to a new poll.

A CNN poll shows that Pope Francis’ popularity has skyrocketed in America.

The latest CNN poll reveals that while Pope Francis is loathed by
conservatives for having a more liberal approach, the great majority of
Americans and American Catholics approve of him.

A whopping 88 percent of American Catholics highly approve of Pope
Francis. Among the American people as a whole, his approval rating
stands at an incredible 75 percent. So even though conservatives have
made the pontiff the newest target of their hatred, Americans
overwhelmingly side with him.

Stop and think for a moment...do you not think that a big part of the 88% of Catholics are
conservative? Do you not think that a big part of the 75% of Americans are conservative?

What's a shame, FOAD, is that you, with all your 'education' fall for a headline and don't bother to
think.

Try it sometime.
