Great to see it's not ok for someone to call homosexuality a disease, but it's ok for people to call Catholicism one? Another fantastic example of the fantastic moderation we have here! Gotta love how the Catholics are about the only group in the world that people have free reign to attack and bash without anyone giving two flying craps.

The pope didn't promote aids in Africa either. Just another example of people taking stuff he says way out of context for the sole purpose of serving their own agenda or (this wouldn't happen mind you) bash Catholicism. Absolutely shocking.

Basically the people calling Catholocism a diesease aren't serious about it, just pissed off at the way groups are treated by the Catholic church. I agree that it was out of line to say it, but its kind of understandable being pissed off at an organisation saying that you've got a diesease and need to be cured or you are going to hell constantly.

Also the Pope refused to allow people to use condoms in Africa, while not directly 'promoting aids' its causing it in such an obvious indirect way. It really is a Vatican policy that may have been acceptable pre-aids but now is just shocking.

 

 

Also, the catholicism post (which was clearly a reaction to the gay post) was by tombi123, who is an otherwise respectful poster who has rarely caused any trouble at all. Whereas Tyrranical (who made an entirely unprovoked bigoted statement) is a giant flying ass hole. If anything, we as a mod team have been to lenient on the guy, as he probably shouldn't still be allowed on these forums.
