Atheist Rally Draws [Catholic/Christian] Haters
Catholic League ^ | 03/26/2012 | n/a

Posted on 03/26/2012 11:59:36 AM PDT by Pyro7480

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on Saturday's "Reason Rally" in Washington, D.C. attended by atheists:

It is impossible for atheists to have a rally without bashing people of faith. They especially loathe Christians, and no group gets them jacked up more than Roman Catholics. Saturday's rally was no exception.

Although atheists claim that people of faith brainwash kids, it is they who are the masters. "Hey Kids," one of the signs read, "It's Okay—GOD is PRETEND." Being vulgar comes natural to them: "Religion is Like a Penis," one sign read, "It's OK to have one…But it is NOT OK to whip it out in public, shove it in my face, or tell me what to do because you have one...." Then there was the gal who held a sign demanding that adherents of the three monotheistic religions "Get Out of My Panties."

They got specific with signs such as "So many Christians, so few lions." There was a man dressed as Jesus riding an inflatable dinosaur; another man held a large wooden cross with a mask of "The Joker" on top. They really got specific when Australian songwriter Tim Minchin thrilled the crowd with "The Pope Song." Here are some of the lyrics: "I don't give a f*** if calling the pope a motherf***er means…You see I don't give a f*** what any other motherf***er believes about Jesus and his motherf***ing mother."

The big draw was Englishman Richard Dawkins. He implored the crowd to "ridicule and show contempt" for people of faith. "Mock them, ridicule them in public," he bellowed. Especially Catholics. Dawkins not only mocked the Eucharist, he advised the crowd to ask Catholics, "Do you really believe...that when a priest blesses a wafer, it turns into the body of Christ?"

Catholics take note: The fact that the atheists always attack us more than any other religious group is a backhanded compliment. They know who the real enemy of hate is, and who they must defeat. They don’t have a prayer.

I thought secularists were OK with this kind of behavior at sodomite rallies...

Yes, he and his demons tremble at what they know is their ultimate destiny.

OK. That does it. An hour at the Adoration Chapel praying for Dawkins. Desperate times, desperate measures.

Absolutely right. In fact, I don’t remember any other Christian group, much less religious group, that has a bullseye on its back even close to the Catholics.

Thanks for the compliment atheists! It’s a good feeling to know our names are written in the Book of Life (not that anyone needs your endorsement).

While I am not a Catholic, I hold the Church in the highest regard and am glad that God is guiding the Church and the Pope in these troubled times.

I notice the God-less crowd never goes after Islam. Cowards.

I think you are right. Maybe they fear that muslims will come after them if they did. Interesting point.

Atheists ridicule people who have faith without any proof....but they don’t realize that not believing in God is every bit as much an act of faith as believing in a God.

This lifelong atheist ignores Islam, the religion, and agitates against Islamism, the assertion of Islamic superiority over all things western.

Islamism declared global war against America and western culture at least as far back as the Iranian seizure of the American embassy in Tehran in 1979. I said at the time—along with many of us here today, of course—trying to negotiate with religious fanatics was the wrong thing to do. I've said that again and again over the years since then. No one wants to hear we're in a world war against an avowed enemy who's entitely glad to fight it one skirmish and one battle at a time over the next couple centuries. It's much simpler to tell ourselves we're in this or that little local war on the ground in Asia. As long as we keep pretending this is everything but a world war, (not to mention letting our masters in Washington, D.C. throw away our rights as fast as they can,) the Islamists will keep winning and we'll keep losing.

If we'd taken action during the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, the Islamists probably wouldn't have blown up the Marine barracks in Lebanon. If we'd troubled ourselves to win the Gulf War against Iraq, the Islamists probably wouldn't have launched the first attack against the World Trade Center. If we'd obliterated Mecca with one bomb on September 12, 2001, the odds are high nobody would be worrying about Iranian nuclear weapons today. Do you see a pattern?

All that said™, some atheists do, indeed, behave badly, especially in front of television cameras. So do some Christians; so do some Muslims; so do some Hindus, et cetera. I ask you not to judge all atheists for the actions of the loudest and most self-important few.

**** There was a man dressed as Jesus riding an inflatable dinosaur; another man held a large wooden cross with a mask of “The Joker” on top.****

If I remember correctly, somewhere around 1900, the Governor of Martinique had an atheist fest, part in which pigs were paraded around town nailed to crosses.

Then in 1902, Mount Pele blew it’s top and wiped out the city. Their sins were filled up.

These people aren’t “atheists”, they’re anti-Christians.
