Can't we just get along?

Having to go to a "christian" school is the same way they'll go too far with everything and not let you just be yourself. If you're going to be "saved" let it happen when it happens.

BLAST IT WITH PISS

No, it's not wrong.

That's the exact teaching of the Catholic church.
Everyone non-Catholic is going straight to hell.
He'd be a lying faggot if he said anything else.

Also, don't be butthurt because some catholic idiot whips his dick (read: religion) out. Laugh at him. He's catholic, what does he know at all?

Do you know anything about Catholicism? Yes it's a strict religion and is offensive in truest form. But the reason it is that way is because the hierarchy is so slow to react to a changing world, in this case changing to be tolerant. Most Catholics don't believe in the extremes. Don't classify an entire religion when you know nothing about it, please.

I have been a practising Catholic in a >90% catholic nation for 14 fucking years. I have talked with my local priest for endless hours about the religion.
I know Catholicism damned well, my friend.

And what I said is true. It is absolutely true, down to the last little detail.
What most Catholics believe is totally irrelevant if the Vatican does stick to the old dogmata and rules, that's another thing I know about Catholicism.

"Roma locuta, causa finita" - "Rome has spoken, the cause is finished" refers to the supposed inerrableness of the Pope himself.

The hierachy cannot do anything about that specific matter, because this is actually one of the most basic dogmata. The can't change it any more than they can change the dogma that Jesus is supposedly Gods son.


In the future, you better watch who you call ignorant, buddy, because it seems I know FUCKLOADS more about Catholicism than you do.

Maybe you know more about Catholicism literally. But Catholics in general don't believe what your priest said and that's a fact. Most people realize that the Vatican isn't always right. Of course your priest is going to tell you the bullshit traditionalism; it's his job.
Maybe you are more intelligent in that regard because I've never talked religion over with a priest. Hell I'm not even Christian anymore. My family however is very tied to religion, specifically my grandmother with the Catholic Church. She's not intolerant nor does she think every word the Pope says is completely true or right. Sometimes yes, Catholics are ignorant, but you just classed everyone in the religion as intolerant assholes. It's like saying all Muslims are intolerant of any other religions when the sensible know that this isn't the case.

I classified the religion, not the religious people.

Get the difference? You can perfectly say Catholicism is intolerant and Islam is a bloody deathcult, because you can prove it with their own "holy" books.

You can't say that about the religions followers, because people are all different.

Understand what I mean?

I laughed about it afterwords, but, coming from a public school,
I was pretty shocked that he said it so bluntly; I hadn't expected that.
I just didn't know if he had the right to do that if he was knowingly teaching students of different beliefs.

Of course he has the right to do that.
People are allowed to say anything they possibly want.
Free speech is the most important pillar of a free society.

Learn that lesson well, buddy, no one has to be nice to you.

Im pretty sure I can't walk up to a police officer and say, "Damn I really want to rape a child"

You can. I'm damned sure you can.
And unless you really rape a child, he won't be able to do anything to you.

Talk is as free as it is cheap, my friend.

lol 69

You think that's bad? My whole family is Catholic, and I'm Wiccan...

Not the point. Point is to respect the other religions out there. Atheism isn't the only belief system out there and it never will be, might as well get along and play nice with the other religions and not look for arguments

same here, but i would be tied to a chair and be preached at about god and Jesus until they convert me, and probably be Baptisted a couple of times

Haha, one more biblefag bites the d- HNNNNGGGGGGG

**noremactwo rolls 2** i think you lost this part

**XxInfernoxX rolls 2** here ya go

ooooh so close

If you're in a restaurant, enjoying a nice quiet meal with your family, you're gonna notice the screaming crying retarded child, not everyone else who is minding their own business

well the first Christians do exist. myself being one of them! So don't give up hope. We are trying to fix our image... well.... some of us are.... just be patient. things should get better. or they wont. who knows.

P.S. I know who knows!! GOD KNOWS!!! trololol. sorry couldn't resist

only the angry one will be willing to share their opinion on the internet. The normal ones will simply read and move on. There can be hundreds of normal christians that look at your post and simply just look over it

And i'm one of them. :D... sorta I just commented but not to say anything bad, just to say that I am one of those Christians who just look over it... I'll just be leaving now.

It is hard to stay calm being an atheist in georgia

I can feel your pain, i was born and raised in Georgia, was forced to go to church, when I realized I had a choice I became Wiccan (that went over real well with my family). Now I'm more of an agnostic. I believe there is something out there, just not sure what. Untill I figure it out I just try to live my life as a good person and not hurt others.

Oh, I'm from west of ATL, how about you?
