DD your friend wasn't too hip on what Catholics are tolerant of.
Fact: The most important Catholic church in America, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, has a giant sign hanging from it which reads: "Civil Marriage is a Civil Right" Does this sound like a religion which is strictly against gay marriage? They also believe in evolution and dinosaurs. Your friend was just an idiot. Of all the major religions, the Catholic church is the most hip to not being right-wing and ignorant (except for contraception but they are working on that) |
![]() The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. ![]() |

very few recent examples of anything that I would call militant atheism on the board . The only real example I can think of recently is when I posted the Easter thing (on facebook, it should be noted) which was clearly an over-zealous joke, which UB thought was necessary to bring to the Nubblies hate-Blonde-hivemind rather than bring it up to me on Facebook. Curious, huh?Most of it involves me vaguely mentioning something I don't like about religion and then Nubblites getting pissed off at me about it, calling me a militant atheist and intolerant, forcing me to defend myself. For the record, i'm tolerant in that I don't want to hate/kill religious people, but I certainly don't have to respect/be friends with those I don't want to. Most religious people are idiots, and I have no desire to be friends with idiots. FWIW, I have a couple very intelligent religious friends who I absolutely intellectually respect even though I think they're a bit misguided. They are in the 99th percentile of the religious. | |
