Roffles! Wow...
So you came to convert me and others to your faith, eh? What about live & let live, O tolerant atheists? You guys object to the term "militant", right?
Agnostic here, stated earlier I'm not christian but enjoy the benefits of a society founded on judeo-christian ethics. Shows how closely you guys read the posts of dissenting opinions, eh?
Never let facts get in the way for a good story
Never let facts get in the way for a good story.
This thread has devolved into timewasting. Tink and Fishbulb are clearly just baiting with their meaningless one or two liners, they probably don't even believe their side of the argument, and just enjoy winding people up. As for Atlas - it's clear he isn't going change his views no matter how much logic or evidence is piled up against them.
I think explod, So_Cynical, Calliope and others should feel good that they've made their points so well and thoroughly, and move onto other threads. No one is going to read this thread and be convinced by Atlas, Tink etc. unless they're already a member of the crazy camp.
It's ok to let the other side have the last word - if that word is meaningless piffle.

Yes the three Papal apologists, Atlas, Fishbulb and Tink have done everything they can to try to derail this debate. No doubt they feel very protective about their religion. But this thread is not about religion or Catholics or faith or Atheism.
It is about whether the Pope should be taught a salutary lesson over his apparent condoning of his pederast priests nasty behaviour. I am sure the majority of decent priests would like to get rid of this pall hanging over their heads. The ball is in the Pope's court. If he wanted to he could fix the mess immediately.
Indeed - never let the facts get in the way of a good story!
I think that statement perfectly sums up Christianity, Catholicism in particular, and religions in general.
Atlas, you still don't understand. Atheism is not a faith; there is no dogma. And without the belief in a god, there is no vacuum either.
As you are clearly not an athiest, you are in no position to argue with this
Good example of your inability to actually keep up with events
If you had've read my original posts instead of responding in a stereotypical reactionary fashion, you would have noticed that I am not catholic, nor did I defend the pope.
You need to stay in after school tonight
I still want to know why Dawkins isn't trying to arrest Tony bLIAR.
If they cant work out Dawkins has an agenda, well................ what can you say?
I think you should stay at school until you mature enough to be able to enter a debate with a clear head. As in the case of Atlas it is difficult to understand what you are arguing about. You claim you would like to see the priesthood cleaned up, but you attack everybody who shares this view.
You obviously have a chip on your shoulder, but what drives your obsession to be so disagreeable is a mystery. It could be that with your left wing bias, you perceive the rational posters here as being reactionary and you see us as class enemies.
Of course he has, to eradicate fairy tales and tell the provable truth about nature and life.
Well I have been saying that Wayne but they arent listening.
He would rather wait 6mths for the Pope
If they cant work out Dawkins has an agenda, well................ what can you say?
Seriously, go back and read the relevant posts, and then respond again in your self stated "clear headed" way.

Exactly, this is the main point, everything else is diversion and fluff.
I am not sure of Blair’s offences (and don’t want to take this thread further down the path off topic), but surely anyone is free to arrest him if he thinks Blair has committed a crime?I still want to know why Dawkins isn't trying to arrest Tony bLIAR.
Another red herring.
