Quote:Eminent Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that as Catholics and Hindus and others had freedom of their belief systems and were respected for their respective choices, and so should be the atheists. A religious leader of Pope's stature should have been more inclusive.

I gave kudos to your post, so if you could pass it along to Rajan Zed for me, that would be great. Thanks!

I think (hope) that Darth Benedict is going to be the worst thing to happen to Catholicism in a long time. Even a lot of Catholics I know are unhappy with him.

Apparently if you dont believe in gods thats not covered under freedom of religion.
Who knew?

The old pope was quite likeable, but this guy is like the child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

He's shit scared that we're going to win the intellectual battle.

He's right, and no amount of ad hominem attacks is going to change that.
