New Pope Elected: Centuries Of Make-Believe (Religion) Reaffirmed For The Masses
And, they all get to wear party dresses!
I understand Tweety has a raging boner on right now on MSNBC.

1. My goodness! That's a lot of hate in such a short post.
I am not a Catholic, and I find your post offensive.
Who is it that has a hard over this issue? I don't think Tweetie is alone.
Must be your first day at DU since you don't recognize this kind of stuff at DU.

3. All over DU...
people are stopping to say how they don't care and express their hatred of Catholics.
(No not the Church, there are several quite specific ones who make it clear they mean all Catholics)
Hate is progressive
Seriously do you really expect anything different at DU when it comes to religion?
Unless it is Islam religion is mocked constantly at DUmmyland.

29. What hate?
I don't see any hate. I see an opinion.
If I said gays shouldn't be able to marry each other is that just an opinion?
You would scream that it is hate speech.

22. I was the infamous "juror #4" 
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards[/url].)
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
I\'m an atheist, but I don\'t think this is the time to call religion \"make believe.\" We have many DUers who are Catholic, and we should not be making them feel unwelcome.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 13, 2013, 11:48 AM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: I'm not Catholic, but let's be respectful, folks.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: While the post is harsh, it is opinion.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The post seems to refer to all religion as make-believe, not just Catholicism. This is just one post, hopefully it won't put someone off the whole site. Sorry, if it were hateful I would hide it, but as it is, it is just sort of funny.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I am Catholic, and I am more critical of my church than most non Catholics. The only ones on D.U. who have the poweer to make me feel unwelcome here are the admins by saying "get out". You can only feel unwelcome if you give haters free rent in your head.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Poster has a right to his/her opinion even if some don't like it. How about debating whether religion is make-believe or not instead of being a over-sensitive crybaby?
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: This is both rude and insensitive. Vote to hide.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
It actually surprises me that so many of the DUmmies found fault with the OP.
Considering they all post on DU you would think they would know how DU feels about religion.
The Bible is just a bunch of goofy stories, but spirit guides and healing white light is science man.
Lots of infighting on the thread I am sure it will get locked.
