I agree, but there are still too many, with a disproportionate influence, who believe in this crap. Hence why I would rather have been born in the future, as I believe religion as we know it will have to die out sometime.

and a man who knows that his brand of religion is on the decline.


Exactly.

Religion is fast becoming irrelevant and with knowledge just a click away on the internet people have the opprotunity to be exposed to various levels of criticism against religion that they might not have otherwise heard. Whether it be through parody, logic and reason, science or history religion is constantly being challenged online and it seems, to me, to be losing on all fronts of teh internets.

I do find it pretty lame he's attacking atheists and even claiming there's a semi-radical sect of them. Sometimes they're termed Evangelical Atheists, the kind that lack belief in god and don't shut up about it. I for one am glad atheists are becoming more vocal and getting out there dispelling the strawmen and silly rumors that have attached themselves to atheists over the years (we atheists eat babies, NOM NOM NOM )

I also find it very lame that he's attacking Atheists, It's actually pathetic.

He was obviously looking for a way to draw attention away from his paedophilia ridden group.... and thought "how about I attack intelligent, peace loving people instead."
Can't attack Muslims that's politically incorrect and I may be harmed.... so I'll attack Atheists.


This visit is pointless and unwanted and smacks of desperation..... trying to reach out to a once Christian society and trying to find fault with people who have no religious persuasion.
Actually using terms like "aggressive secularism" and "Atheist extremism"

It's pathetic and the man is an abomination.

Batman has done far more good than the Pope, at least Batman uses his bullet proof car to fight crime, rather than just parading around telling Aids ridden Africa to stop using condoms and making pompous statements about atheism all while protecting pedophiles from being pursued by the full extent of the law. In an ideal world Batman would break into the Vatican and expedite the Pope to the stairs of Gotham's courthouse.

Bit to Liberal? You wouldn't know Liberal if it bit you in the but!

Liberalism, properly understood, is the historic advocate of individual freedom. It has promoted the rule of law and private property, with free exchange of goods and ideas. Its opposition to censorship and state economic controls were based on the same principle. Liberalism, as the name implies, is the fundamental belief in a political ideal where individuals are free to pursue their own goals, in their own ways, provided they do not infringe on the equal liberty of others.


I'm proud to call myself a Liberal.

Considering some of the hateful things I've seen on this website, I can't say I disagree with him.

It's not a religion or lack there of that makes you an extremist, it's your state of mind. And some of the minds here scare me.

Ohh and heres a lovely article about a Letter the pope wrote to EVERY Catholic Bishop pleading that they

hold its inquiries behind closed doors and keep the evidence confidential for up to 10 years after the victims reached adulthood.

So not condoning pedophilia no, just asking that it didn't get reported to the police and nothing was done about it

Oh he was in the Hitler youth, as with the paedo cover up, I thought everyone knew these facts.... clearly not.


However, being in Hitler-youth, does not make him a Nazi.... I guess he had no choice...like most other 14 year old boys at the time.

Following his 14th birthday in 1941, Ratzinger was conscripted into the Hitler Youth — as membership was required by law for all 14-year old German boys after December 1939[9] — but was an unenthusiastic member who refused to attend meetings.[10] His father was an enemy of Nazism, believing it conflicted with the Catholic faith. In 1941, one of Ratzinger's cousins, a 14-year-old boy with Down syndrome, was taken away by the Nazi regime and killed during the Aktion T4 campaign of Nazi eugenics

I don't blame him for the Hitler Youth thing, It was out of his control.

I'm fully aware of what the word Liberal means

Are you aware of what the word sarcasm means...

Did you honestly think I was calling the Nazi party liberal

Good Grief

With who, I'm not sure who you're referring to?

I agree....some minds here and out in the real world, are extremely worrying.
