The biggest Christian arsehole?

Post by weemadando »

I nominate Australian Catholic Archbishop George Pell for his statement that women having abortions was a greater crime than priests sexually assaulting children.

I've been trying to think of one, but they really keep a much lower profile in Europe. So, my vote is in yours.

Of course he thinks abortion is worse than child molesting
1 less child in the word = 1 less motive of joy for the lonely priests of the order. They just love children.

You are joking aren't you? When did he say that? And just to be clear he is the subject of the latest claims of molestation isn't he? I have been having trouble keeping up...

Well, there are arseholes of other religions, but most of them in America are Christians, and if they're wondering why they're not converting anyone, they should look at themselves.

Boy, this would make a stupid contest. I mean so many people are already competing to see who can get their rights to existence revoked already. And I agree that everyone mentioned in this subject deserves to be here.

Don't forget to mention Phelps other charming pasttime: importing busloads of fundamentalist nuts to protest at the funerals of gay men.

Which is moronic. They are protesting the death of people they "despise". Its almost like they wish they were still alive. Dumbfucks. :roll:

I think they are protesting the funeral rights themselves and that they are actually showing *gasp*respect for a gay person.

I read somewhere recently about a Luthern priest that might be removed cause he was part of the multi-faith service following the WTC attacks. Any guesses why he's being tossed out? By being part of this multi-faith service he was saying that the other faiths were just as legitimite as Luthernism. And that's just not allowed.

For the most part I consider rape worse than murder, except maybe when the murdered is raped first.

Here is the full quote from good old rev phelps.


"You dont like that attribute of god?

Well We love that attribute of god, because god's hatred is pure. Its a determination, its a determination that he's gonna send some people to hell. That's gods hatred.

We're stamding here with gods mesage. We're stamding here with gods mesage. Is homosexuality-is being a fag okay? What do you meani it's not for me to judge? If God doesn't hate fags, why does he put ' em in Hell? You see the barrenness and sterility of your sill arguments when set over against some solid gespel truth? Baren and sterile. Like your lifestyle. Your silly arguments."

And here is something he said 6 months earlier

" We wouldn't be here if this was just another murder the state wass gonna deal with. The state deals with hundreds of murders every single day. But his murder is different, because the fags are bringing us out here trying to make Mathew Shepard into a poster boy for the gay lifestyle. And we're gonna answer it. It's just that simple"


He gets my vote for being a bigoted asshole.

Explain why is it not murder? At what point does it become murder? This is how the pro life feel that an abortion is murder, that is why the statement is said. I used to be a pro choice, now I am stuck some where in between, not quite sure which way I lean.

PS Depending on circumstances, I consider rape a lesser crime than murder, only because a victim of rape can still live a productive life.
