Atheists aren't fully human, says Cardinal

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Perhaps the cardinal found a pair of those sunglasses from They Live!

You mean like these ? Obey.

That little emoticon is definitely not human. He has no neck or waistline.

No, MC, you can't be part demon. If you don't believe in the existence of God, can you believe in the existence of demons? Can you be something you don't believe in?

And, ok, as a Catholic, I'll go ahead and say it: he is a chopf#ck.

I'll admit, I was worried for a second, thinking there was part of me that didn't exist because I don't believe in it which might create some kind of cerebral black hole into which the rest of me might disappear. It's quite a relief to realise that I am still complete, even if I am less than human

No, you're safe. You can still be complete.

Would you like to swing on a star

Carry moonbeams home in a jar

And be better off than you are

Or would you rather be a mule?

A mule is an animal with long funny ears

Kicks up at anything he hears

His back is brawny but his brain is weak

He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak

And by the way, if you hate to go to school

You may grow up to be a mule

Or would you like to swing on a star

Carry moonbeams home in a jar

And be better off than you are

Or would you rather be a pig?

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face

His shoes are a terrible disgrace

He has no manners when he eats his food

He's fat and lazy and extremely rude

But if you don't care a feather or a fig

You may grow up to be a pig

Or would you like to swing on a star

Carry moonbeams home in a jar

And be better off than you are

Or would you rather be a fish?

A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook

He can't write his name or read a book

To fool the people is his only thought

And though he's slippery, he still gets caught

But then if that sort of life is what you wish

You may grow up to be a fish

A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo

Every day you meet quite a few

So you see it's all up to you

You can be better than you are

You could be swingin' on a star

... and there you see the reason why so many people walked away from organised religion.

Bravo, prove yourself the discriminatory mouthpiece of the church and show the world how Christianity works. Great. NOT.

[Bobby+Umit 161]

Hmmm - good thing I am not from this planet...

Atheists are made of jello.

I feel like giving up being a Christian(I didn't attend mass for 4 years anyway). This rhetoric priest makes me want to yell at his face. More criticism to face because of this ignorant priest.

I think, we are having devil in church.

I always knew I was part robot. Excellent to have validation, then.

Yep, heard that from a classmate once, that since I wasn't religious I was a creature, and not human and not from God. Oh well, if I cared about what these people say I'd be religious or a believer, no?

"I believe for every drop of rain that falls

A flower grows"

But a little bit up in the air as to why a drop of rain fall, and why a flower grows. Amazed by the fruits,vegetables, fish, and meat man had nothing to do with creating, but here for our survival.

Amazed that we are the most complicated machines in the world, with not even a full understanding of how we work or what makes us tick and that you don't have to be a genius to make a baby.

Man has always been asking "why", to ask why is a strong part of us, but some of us claim to have the answers. Can also question why some claim to have all the answers. They sure can't prove any of it.

That's the danger in electing rabid religious types. If they don't even think you're human, you think they'll look out for you?
