(This is my second post today. Scroll past this one to see my first post of the day).Day two of Popeapalooza and the American media is covering the Pope's visit as if it was the second coming of Jesus. Apparently CNN is now the Catholic News Network. I don't mind the media reporting on the visit as it is a famous person but the constant coverage is nauseating.
They should just do updates and leave the rest for that Catholic cable channel. Over on MSNBC they were mentioning how the Pope is going to talk about healthy sexuality within the confines of marriage. It's laughable that a celibate monk is going to lecture others about sex!!! In addition, the media is now wondering what impact the Pope's visit could have on the election!!! Are you kidding me??? If I hear the candidates being asked about the Pope's visit tonight in the Philly debate then I'm going to drive my Atheist horns through a couch pillow. What? Didn't you know that we Atheists all have horns?
Can you imagine if the media gave the same coverage by a visit of the famous British Atheist Richard Dawkins? For one it would never happen but IF it somehow happened you would probably see riots in the streets, complete with people burning science textbooks.
So Bush greeted the Pope today at the White House and proceeded to stand at the front of the peoples' house and lecture us all that Amurika's real leader is, "God the Creator." In addition to "reminding" us all that the reason people are "moral" in Amurika is because of "God." So true. We Atheists are always trying to kill, rape, pillage and cannibalize the women and children but because of noble, "God" fearing superiors like Bush we are foiled time and time again. CURSES!!! (shakes fist in the air).
Hmmm, I wonder how water boarding fits into the New Testament? Hey Bush, try and explain away and justify THAT one to the guy you worship who just so happens to have been tortured to death. Maybe you should try reading your Bible right side up next time.
Meanwhile, back at the White House Bush had this to say to the Pope after his address, "Awesome speech." I'm shocked that he didn't add, "dude" at the end of that sentence.

How many Americans know that the organization that Pope Ratzo heads up never ex-communicated ADOLF HITLER? Why?
This same organization wants to excommunicate American Catholic politicians who support the law of this land, which is legal abortions, even if they themselves do not approve of it--render unto Caesar, etc...
Not only did the Catholic Church not ex-communicate Hitler, they actually celebrated a Requiem Mass for him in Germany after he commited suicide--A MORTAL SIN in Catholicism.
Plus, the Catholic Church never ex-communicated any of the Cardinals, Bishops or Monsignors who shuffled predatory priests around from one parish to another, who they knew were molesting and raping children!
I'd spit on the bastard if I had a chance. He's no holy man. He's the head of a criminal organization that cares only for its prestige and money.
They have no right to lecture anyone on morals.
PS. I was raised a Catholic.
Ptoohie!
I am now a very happy nontheist.
They have no right to lecture anyone on morals.
Exactly.
I'm a fellow non-theist but I also follow Buddhism which is in and of itself non-theist and even atheistic.
I dig how the Buddha didn't proclaim himself a "God." I also like how it teaches that we are our own savior and the only one's responsible for our actions. Not some "devil" or whatever.
And I'm not saying Buddhism is perfect, no religion is and I don't claim it to be the only truth. No Buddhist who understands the Buddha's teachings does.
Well said Shaw! I'd punch this old fuck right in his nazi nose if I had a chance!
James: Excellent post. I've cringed every time I've heard the words "George Bush and The Pope" mentioned on TV! Both are assholes that the world could do without!
T&A:
Thanks!! I agree that we could both use some time without those two whack jobs.
What REALLY pisses me off too, besides all of the religious ass kissing is how much tax money we are spending on crowd control and protections for this Nazi. We should send the catholic church a bill. Considering they don't pay any taxes we should definitely say "sorry no services for you unless you pony up the cash".
The whole thing is just irritating.
Poodles:
Oh yeah. The tax thing pisses me off too. They need to be paying like the rest of us. Especially if they are going to try and legislate and influence political issues.
