So then, Drich, what do you get out of holding others to a standard to which you don't even hold yourself?
Does "judge not lest ye be judged" not mean what it says?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Point of order:
Who here has actually claimed to be (or wanted to be) all compassionate and understanding?

Also, there's nothing quite so delicious as the RCC saying "Stop picking on me!"

This cartoon will never go out of date,
sadly:

Now
that's how satire works.

You're not suggesting that your opinion puts a limit on the free speech of others, are you? As I said earlier, you are perfectly entitled to your own views and have the inalienable right to express distaste if that's what you need to do, but that's only the exact same freedom that
must extend to everyone else if it has to mean anything at all. Which is what satire is.
