The Vactican has been done out

but surely if you are for total free speech without censorship then even the racist should be allowed to air their views, no matter how offensive they are.

if you don't think they should be able to air their views then you are advocating censorship on free speech whether you like it or not.

it doesn't matter if you can't comprehend this, and i fully expect you not to be able too, as it is a cold hard fact, that is completely irrefutable.

you pillock


anyway, it's called free speech, offensive or not

coming from a none god botherers view, i found my picture amusing.

jambon can you seriously say your boleved catholic church is totally innocent and has done nowt wrong?

through gritted teeth, yeah even the racists are allowed free speech, because it's miles more important than a few people getting offended having to hear or see stuff they don't like

ill criticise religion till the day i die. and charles clarke can suck me off if he thinks otherwise.

I'm fucking sick of the anti catholic shit that get's posted on here.

The moderators should sort this out.

I take offense as well.

no one can like everything, it jsut so happens that many people disagree with catholosism and the things the church has done in the name of caholosism

god bless science

was mspaint actually.

when someone criticises science i simply toss facts at them until they shutup

***News Flash***

missing first page of bible has been found hidden in a bunker under the vatican, it reads;

any characters or acts portrayed in this book are entirely fictional, any such similarities are purely coincidental.

There are two points that people don't seem to be making much of here: one, religious belief _can_ (imo) be absolutely wrong and justifyably condemnable - any religion involving unwilling human sacrifice would be included in this for me. for example - whereas a race cannot be justly discriminated against, under any circumstances.

Secondly - even if criticising religious belief were morally wrong, then ColeTrickle is not criticising belief, he is condemning the actions of an organisation. Surely, no matter what its professed point of view, an organisation must be subject to investigation of its actions, and ultimately, responsibility for them: I don't see how condemning someones actions, notwithstanding the fact that those actions CONTRADICT and thereby insult true Christian beliefs, can be impinged.

I don't think the Vatican is Nazi, however. Historical links probably exist: unsurprising, given the size of the organisation and the historical context.

People do that all the time to me, reaction is both quite legal and widely practised, extending to common lampoons and skits.
