Why not boycott the Catholic Church?
honestly.
why does any liberal associate with an institution who is now engaging in the sort of political scumbaggery that is the current church?
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/22/group-challenges-tax-exempt-status-of-bishop-who-compared-obama-to-hitler-stalin/
Americans United for Separation of Church and State call for a revocation of tax exempt status after an asshole bishop tells Catholics to vote against Obama after comparing him to Hitler.
“Bishop Jenky’s intervention in the election wasn’t just extreme and mean-spirited, it also seems to be a clear violation of federal law,†said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director. “Churches are tax-exempt institutions, and they aren’t allowed to intervene in partisan politics.â€
Nuns who supported Obama's healthcare reforms are told to stop caring about the health of poor women and join the church in their war against women.
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/04/20/pope-tells-nuns-to-forget-about-feeding-the-poor-and-focus-on-hating-the-gays/
The church colludes with the Republican Party to undermine healthcare reform under the guise of religious exemption - because their religious beliefs include denying health care to women.
And, while many institutions have pedophiles within their organizations, I cannot think of one that colluded with those pedophiles to protect them from the law in the U.S. other than the Catholic church. Maybe you know of some others, but afaik, when pedophiles have been discovered in school systems, etc. the response was to report, not shield.
Rather than ask, "why not boycott the Catholic Church?" maybe the better question would be, "Why associate at all with the Catholic Church?" if you are not a right winger.

How in the world could a site that is 90% atheist boycott a church?

17. What do people teach their daughters?
When people associate with an institution that views their daughters as second-class citizens - what are people teaching their daughters?
My family of origin doesn't share my opinion (politically or religiously) but I would've felt like I was doing my children a disservice to expose them to an institution, without criticism, that engages in the sort of actions and beliefs that I find repulsive.
In my will, I had stated that, if I had died when my children were younger, they should not be exposed to that religion's doctrine before they were old enough to reason. I would never participate in my own child's brainwashing.
Granted I haven't spent much time in Catholic churches, but I have never heard in any church that women are second class citizens.

4. I went canvassing yesterday for a local race here
And we worked a poor neighborhood, and this woman who was nice, goes to a christian church that says Obama is the Anti-Christ. I told her it wasn't true, but it will only take someone from the church to reassure her it is. There might be more to these "churches" than meets the eye. And boycotting them would be a good thing. Even hang out in front of catholic churches with signs that ask why those attending support pedophiles? I know they are not all pedophiles, but WHAT are they doing about it? I bet most of them do nothing. Just following orders. Where have we heard that before?
He has a pot plant for his avatar, that explains a lot.

7. Religions don't seem to be on the right side of history at this time.
but many of them have never been on the right side of history on ethical issues.
which is more than a little ironic.
The right side of history is forcing the church to bend to the will of the state? I could have sworn that separation of church and state was constantly preached by the left. That means the government has no business dictating what the church believes in.

9. All the more reason to boycott
If Americans could have that much influence, think about what they could accomplish to stop this war on women!
it seems to me a boycott would be an ethical act when your religious institution is trying to harm poor women by denying them access to healthcare.
I want an Ipad3 why are you denying me access by not buying me one, rain Dog?

I'm sure they don't miss your bitter ass one bit either.

You try to revoke the tax exempt status of the Catholic Church then you better call for revoking the tax exempt status of the Black Baptist Churches.
-
I think the Catholic Church needs to start upholding their principles and refuse communion to people that support abortion. Hell, they should excommunicate them entirely.

But, that is different it's totally okay to talk politics if you are encouraging voting for democrats. Hell here in FL there is a county that has allowed people to vote the Sunday before election Tuesday, this year they are talking about ending that and the black churches in that area are up in arms over being denied the right to vote.

No of course not. :lmao:
Yes they are huge hypocrites and always have been.

I know, I was being sarcastic, but you have to spell it out for those on the left, you have to show how they're being hypocritical by asking questions like that LOL.

:thatsright: The left are nothing but a bunch of douchenozzled bigots.

No doubt this will be as successful as their other boycotts.

DUmmies, I think that should be your new campaign, "Boycott the Catholic Church." I'm sure you'll get a ton of new voters :rotf:

Occupy Vatican City!

I can see that now. It wouldn't surprise me if they tried it either. No one ever accused the douchelickers of being intelligent.

I knew you knew that. I was playing along. :-)

Please do dummies. Denounce and boycott the Catholic church!!! Shout it loud and proud from the mountain tops!!! You will turn approx 1.6 billion people to your way of the thinking!!!
That's the ticket!!!! Do it dummies. Do it now.
-
There's millions of Catholics who vote Democrat. Demonize them, DUmb****s! You'll drive them right out of the Democrat Party, and at the very least, into staying home and not voting for Democrats. Many of them will say, "I can't support a party that shits on me--the Republicans won't do that. I think I'll vote for them." O-) O-) O-)

Let me see if I got this straight:
Obama "decrees" that Catholic entities HAVE to provide abortion and contraceptive services to their employees and their patients at Catholic hospitals, totally against the beliefs and principles of the Catholic Church.
Catholic Church tells Obama to "F OFF! IT AIN'T HAPPENING!", because it goes against thousands of years of church doctrine. (Not to mention it's borderline if not outright unconstitutional for Obama or the government to do what they did.)
Obama = GOOD! O-)
Catholic Church = BAD! :evillaugh:
And they wonder why we call them DUmmies. :confused:

Please make this a campaign issue - It will resonate quite effectively, I promise.

The church has survived 2,000 years of trouble. Can it survive the crew who brought us "Not One Damn Dime Day"?
-
You mean the left are hypocrites?
Ya think?? ::) Hypocritical fascists are the foundation of the left. It's because they're so "intelligent" and "well-educated," they just know what's best for all the rest of us. ::)

Yep. That "wall of separation" is 3' high on the government side, allowing leftists plenty of ability to dictate "free" speech and other beliefs on the private property of churches, but 50' high on the church side, keeping all compassionate, economical, conservative Christian beliefs completely out of government.

Just really curious here, but when did the churches of faith from any faith become tax free. Anyone know how this evolved and the reasons for it ????

Since forever?

Just like schools, churches are not for profit organizations, so they are tax free. They been that way for centuries.

I think it already is a campaign issue. I hope it burns the left big time.

Occupy Vatican City!
Now that I would like to see.
You think that those Swiss Guards in their uniforms are just for pretty decoration? The thought of a bunch of DUmmies being carried off on the end of halberds sounds like great amusement to me.

If someone announced a boycott of Islam, the DUmmies would have a chain reaction stroke. ::)

A boycott of the Catholic Church by a bunch of hellbound lunatic atheists?
The Pope is shaking in his popeboots.

Yeah, but GB didn't allude to that. He did say something about them being "hellbound." Hence, this particular song. :-)

"The church colludes with the Republican Party to undermine healthcare reform under the guise of religious exemption - because their religious beliefs include denying health care to women. "
No, their religious beliefs include not essentially giving their support to abortion by being forced to provide their employees with free birth control as part of their health care plan.
"And, while many institutions have pedophiles within their organizations, I cannot think of one that colluded with those pedophiles to protect them from the law in the U.S. other than the Catholic church. Maybe you know of some others, but afaik, when pedophiles have been discovered in school systems, etc. the response was to report, not shield."
1. Statistically speaking, children are much more likely to be molested by teachers (Especially public school teachers) than by clergymen.
2. Teachers' unions fight tooth and nail to protect the careers and reputations of the pedophiles within their midst for as long as they can. When accusations of molestation are leveled against teachers, the local media either conveniently ignores them, or gives them the smallest possible amount of coverage. Pedophile teachers who are actually brought up on charges are, up until going to court, basically just transferred to the "Rubber Room," where they continue to receive full pay and benefits for doing nothing.
Good old Mr. Pitt knows all about such things, through his involvement in a certain teaching- related incident that is best not mentioned.
