Colbert, Dan Savage, Olberman, and me on Prop 8

I think it’s a good thing that media types are talking about it now, I just wish they’d talked about it before the election instead of being too busy talking about Obama and McCain; and not allowed the bastards who passed it to go unchallenged spreading lies about schoolchildren being indoctrinated and other nonsense.  This ties directly into the article i posted right before the election about how the puppet show of “representative” democracy distracts people from the real issues that they can actually do something about.

Catholic Morality

Posted on May 2, 2008

A news clip on a 40 year old document that’s just surfaced showing that the Vatican overtly and explicitly ordered Bishops to cover up sexual abuse by priests. Way to spread God’s love. fuckers.

and these are the bastards who claim that they have the right to pass moral judgments on the rest of us and that we should look to them for moral guidance! ha!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – belief without evidence in supernatural beings does not condone moral authority. If anything it should be a huge warning sign that the person/institution in question has forsaken reason in favor of superstition. Religion isn’t the source of morality, it’s the antithesis of morality. Morality requires a conscious effort to determine what’s right and wrong for yourself from one day to the next. I’m absolutely sure there are millions of catholics (and other religious people) who make a conscious effort to do that from day to day despite the influence of their church’s and are throughly moral people in every sense of the word, but it’s pretty clear that the people actually running the show in the Vatican are much less concerned with searching for Truth and doing what’s right then they are with protecting their own power and influence. Some might say that’s an outrageous claim, but the fact that this document was sent to every single bishop in the entire Roman Catholic church and it still took 40 years – and hundreds of thousands if not millions of abused children – to surface is pretty convincing evidence that as an institution the Catholic Church is pathologically incapable of telling right from wrong.
