Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Here is a good Catholic Bishop for you.



Can't see why anyone would want to ignore him.

The American Church is past due for a schism if you ask me.

The church is nothing more than a political entity which needs to lose its tax exemption. They are a lobbying group for the 11th century.

Why are churches exempt from paying property taxes? This is bullshit! If a church is exempt from paying property tax, that means the rest of us have to pay a little more to make up for the revenue the government is losing. In effect, I'm subsidizing churches by paying taxes they don't! The tax exemption for churches should be eliminated!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Because they have sold a load of bullshit about how they perform a valuable civic function.

Never forget the wise words of Thomas Jefferson:

Quote:In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.

Yes, giving young boys their first sexual experience is a help to the community!

How long before one of these robed assholes blames this on the secularization of society?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
