And that’s how the Catholic Church gets to keep slitting the throats of people worldwide: their supporters never have to defend their destructive policies, just cry about oppression.

Being a Catholic is a choice. It is not an unchangeable identity; it is a set of beliefs that is destructive. Catholics spend countless amounts of money and effort into murderous policies that encourage the spread of AIDS, that encourage abortion because women cannot access birth control in Catholic countries.

Ah, the Catholic specialty: being too stupid, lazy and weak to leave a religion you know is false, and threatening violence against those who point it out.

You genuinely just took a stand for ignorance. Congrats, you. That is the kind of response I expect from Catholics: Too lazy, too irresponsible to care about what their religion believes or represents, so viciously evil that they demand respect for their ignorance, and incapable of feeling shame for it.

Tell me one single solitary thing I’ve said that’s false.

o Here’s a fun fact:

Another thing it teaches us is that when we let religious groups with vile, disgusting ideas create theocratic laws, what follows is atrocity.

No, the First Amendment gives me the right to condemn followers of a religion. I get to use my speech to criticize whoever I like.

The Catholic Church has spent massive amounts of money towards legislation that:

It is hateful. Do you hate the Westboro Baptist Church? I do. Do you hate the KKK? I do. They’re also both Christian groups with evil ideas, and yet they don’t have a major impact on legislation. The RCC does. The RCC is responsible for more deaths than the KKK ever was.

Every single dirty Catholic bitch should be forced by law to only use Catholic hospitals. Oh, there isn’t one close? Then start driving. Didn’t care about the non-Catholic women who were denied the ability to terminate ectopic pregnancies because the closest hospital was Catholic, did you? Just kept shoving money into…

Remember that most Catholics are vicious, disgusting, selfish pieces of shit.

Well, I've really enjoyed both Sherlock and Jeckyll, so there may be hope, yet.

My roommate (in his late twenties) hasn't voted in four years, and then it was by mail to his old state. I've yelled at him for four years to register here (yeah, we've been roommates a while) to vote in local elections, some of which have been pretty important, but he hasn't budged. Finally, he did so for this…

I had a colleague throw a "cowboys and Indians" party a few years ago. It was sort of horrifying that she thought it was funny and appropriate, though I think she thought it was sort of ironic hipster post-racism.

A patriot: a man who can claim to love his country while hating most of the women in it.

This is hilarious, and even as a sorta-butch adult, this is totally an experience I would love to have embarrassing pictures of.

I'm pretty sure southernsocialite meant "military culture is behind the perpetrators," though I agree the "them" makes it a little hard to parse. The perpetrators being perfect soldiers before/after committing the assaults means that command supports them.

Aw, that's sad. I hope their doctors gently tell them about this as a potential risk before they begin the procedure.

My . . . my life just made a lot more sense.
