Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
There is no such thing as a Catholic child. Or a Muslim child, or a Jewish child, or a Hindu child, or a Protestant child. A child is too innocent to espouse all the wrap-around horrors of indoctrinating religion. This is what you guys serially fail to understand. A child is born innocent of your polluting notions, far wiser than you will ever be, but that isn't enough for you. Your urgent desire to pollute children's minds overrides all other considerations. Or maybe some of you do understand, but are evil enough to ignore what's self-evidently right and proceed to indoctrinate anyway. Everything you say here, Joe Offer, betrays the way your mind has been strangled by your faith. You don't understand science, demonstrated by your inability to leave a mythical God out of it. Instead of a beautiful universe, ripe for exploration by the best of human endeavour and imagination, when you look at a starry night you "see God." But the fact that you actually think that there can be such a thing as a "Catholic child" clinches it once and for all. Dismal in the extreme. Very sad, actually.
