Amazing how we always seem to be the only religion you can put down with still being politically correct.

This makes Catholics appear more tolerant
and forgiving. This should be seen as an
admirable quality imo.

And why mix Obama with religion...

Guess so though it gets old sometimes IMO. The hypocracy of the critics is a bit amusing.

Might be, but it is a healthy sign that people
are comfortable with their beliefs and dont make up
phantom threats.
How many Muslims can be critics in Arab countries...
Ask Salmon Rushdie and those Dutch cartoonists
how tolerant Islamic extremists are.

I think it's a great idea to start a new religion.

I guess I'd make Hooves the pope.

That's because most Catholics don't agree with the those in charge of their own religion.

Only a anti-Catholic would say that. Thanks for making my point though.

You've said it. Remember? Dropping seed on the floor is a sin?


"Scuds if you want to quote my Church's Doctrine get it right. No sex before marriage LMAO. And being fixed is AOK. PS we don't all goose step to the Pope or bend over for every priest though my hair used to be parted in the middle"- Dellinger

I said the leaders of your church think it's a sin to drop seed. That's why you said "...we don't all goose step to the Pope or bend over for every priest...."- Dellinger

As long as people make public policy based on their religious beliefs, then it's part of the political discussion. You say THE MORMON was dismissed and considered non-viable? Well, if you wanted to buy some alcohol to drink at home, and were inconvenienced by Mormons, then you have a right to say you don't want to vote for him (simply because he's Mormon.) It's their own fault for making laws(everyone must live with) based on their own religion.

i'm not one who said romney wasn't a viable candidate. i was using him as an example to illustrate that catholics are not the only ones seeing criticisms of their religion.

and no, catholics do not agree with all the churches teachings-read any subject in which the catholic church weighs in, and you'll see that not all members agree~ the subjects of pre-marital sex, abortion rights, same sex marriage, and birth control for starters.

Hence the term Cafeteria Catholics.

i never got that criticism tho. i'd imagine every religion has the same type of occurrence with followers not agreeing with everything their church stands for. it's why you have so many different churches now, with offshoots springing up seemingly every day. but it seems with the catholic church, their members remain for the most part.

Dell's point was that criticizing his religion was the only one it's P.C. to criticize. If that's true(highly questionable,) my point is that it's mainly because the members of that religion often agree with the criticisms of it.

The two examples you gave aren't (to me) examples that are considered P.C.

"people put down muslims all the time, they're all violent, christian killing zealots you know."

1) I don't think it's P.C. (I do it, but I don't think most others consider it P.C.)
2) If people do it, then, they usually do it because their Prophet encouraged beating women, or encouraged killing non-believers (like wanting to kick the Jews into the Sea.)

"mitt romney was dismissed as being a viable candidate because he's a mormon-of course, that's not a 'real' religion."

1) Again, I don't think this type of statement is considered P.C. by most others.
2) I think they are more apt to be disliked for trying to mess with the Politics in states they aren't living in (anti-Gay Marriage Amendment etc.,) or for laws like the ones they have about alcohol purchases. Maybe in the South, a lot of people think it's a cult religion.

i just disagree that it's only catholics who get criticized. and i do agree that it's members of the church who partake in the criticizing. there are high profile democrats who probably add to the mix, since they are very vocal about not agreeing with their churches teachings.
