Only he's complaining about the people who complain about Pat Robertson.

As usual, there's just so much wrong there it's not even funny. I thought that the other commentators did a decent job, so I just focus


People who don't believe in god wind up believing in everything else? Uh huh.

Try looking up the Skeptics Society.

http://www.skeptic.com/

You'll learn that people of all faiths, and no faith believe in all sorts of nonsense. Religious people do not have any claim to greater rationality than anyone else.

For instance:
http://www.holysmoke.org/haught/pent-2.html

"-The Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 proclaimed the doctrine of transubstantiation: that the host wafer miraculously turns into the body of Jesus during the mass. Soon rumors spread that Jews were stealing the sacred wafers and stabbing or driving nails through them to crucify Jesus again. Reports said that the pierced host bled, cried out, or emitted spirits. On this charge, Jews were burned at the stake in 1243 in Belitz, Germany - the first of many killings that continued into the 1800s. To avenge the tortured host, the German knight Rindfliesch led a brigade in 1298 that exterminated 146 defenseless Jewish communities in six months."

So, people going nuts over the desecration of Catholic cookie wafers? Where have I heard that before?

Oh yeah:
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/07/fight_back_against_bill_donohu.php

Then there is the fact that you seem to think that "liberals" just focus on Pat Robertson as an excuse to go after Christians in general, no.

You need to be reacquainted with some people from your own sect then.

An old one:

John Furniss:
http://www.catholic.org/encyclopedia/view.php?id=4916

This guy was a missionary to children. Guess how he preached to them?
http://home.earthlink.net/~jehdjh/kidlit1.html#dungeon1

Then there's the well-known current Catholic abuse problem:
http://www.canada.com/news/Catholic+abuse+scandals/2330028/story.html

As well as the sparkling history of your sect through the ages (Crusades, Inquisition, etc).

For examples of "liberals" picking on other religions and other people within your own religion, you can go read through the second link to see examples of old-time religions of all stripes be made examples of.

Coren said:
"Especially irksome when this contrived cynicism and materialism comes from a western world increasingly addicted to reality television, anti-depressants and fantasy computer games and unable to read a long book or even spell properly."

Nice broad brush there. What is it that you're always complaining about with "liberals"? Oh yeah, that they're picking on your religion and making over-generalized conclusions. Yep.

Real consistent.

I like that guy who showed up after Dave...what an idiot! Well, I replied to him, also.

Never Was An Arrow II said:
"Every day people walk away from Christianity and the God of great love because Pat#8217;s #8220;Christian#8221; commentary on life, love, world events, science, and the Bible are all the outsiders ever hear about Christianity."

Re-read my post please. There are orders of magnitude more people within your religion that make it look bad than just Robertson. You seemed to miss that.

You did however, read enough of what I said to say that there are far too many people like me in the world.

Right. Care to explain then, just what is wrong with me that you saw, that justifies your statement?

"Jus#8217; too many Reynolds in the world.

Not ready for the Real Presence, Reynold?

Then, you#8217;ll never be ready for this!: http://neverwasanarrow.blogspot.com/2009/06/not-ready-for-jesus.html"

How's about some actual evidence there, Jack? Threats of damnation mean absolutely nothing until you show that your god is real.

Problem for you is, that there's evidence that the Christian faith is not what it's cracked up to be...
http://www.virtualyeshiva.com/counter-index.html

A Jewish site: I may be an atheist, but I figure that no one's better able to examine your religion than those who had to deal with it from the beginning, and whose teaching have been distorted in order to produce it.


I love how you criticize Catholics for not using your media control to show God's "love" but then turn around and say that there's just too many of me (meaning, too many skeptics) in the world.

What's wrong? Don't like it when people actually ask for EVIDENCE of the deity that you people demand unquestioning worship of?


Here's a question for you: Why is it that even though you're a member of the largest religion in the world, with a huge amount of political power, especially in North America, you people are so paranoid?

Look at the link you gave me:
http://neverwasanarrow.blogspot.com/2009/06/not-ready-for-jesus.html

On that page you say:
"Get "Jesus of Nazareth" while you still can#8230; before the pagans completely overrun our society when this movie will be banned vehemently ~


Oh, Le Gasp! "The Pagans" are coming! The Pagans are coming! Good grief. What ravings. Look at the number of believers in this country versus those who don't believe in any god. What gives you the idea that we will "overrun" you?

It's the Christians who have their own political party, the Christian Heritage Party, after all, not the "pagans". It's the Christians who have a whole slew of tv and radio programs in this country, not the "pagans".

The religious right always love to go on about how the "liberals", the "atheists" or, more rarely "the pagans" (all referring to the same group of course), are going to take over and ban everything christian. You people have been saying that for decades.

When is reality going to sink in? Or is this just to help keep the troops riled up and fighting for you people?
You've been warned."

Wow. This John guy is both self-righteous and stupid. A favourite combination.

We'll see if my reply gets through.

Time for some more John. I'm waiting to see if my latest reply to him gets through.

I'd be surprised if it did.

I start getting rude. This guy's sentence structure, ignorance of what I previously said earlier, and then him inquiring about my parents is starting to piss me off.

Just walk away. I know it's hard (I've been there, myself), but I'm sure they'll think they've won whether you keep on posting or not.

Yeah, it is hard. Though I think I've made my last post. At least I've brought it back on topic; with a link to a Richard Dawkins article no less.
