Serial Anti-Catholic Bigots?

Bill Donohue offends yet again. Bill Donohue is a serial anti-atheist bigot. He offends me.

BILL MAHER OFFENDS YET AGAIN:

Bill Donohue comments on Bill Maher’s latest assault on decency:

When serial anti-Catholic bigots Bill Maher and Seth MacFarlane get together, it is a sure fire recipe for new lows in tastelessness. And that’s what we got on HBO last Friday night, as MacFarlane appeared on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

“…you’re so lucky that you do cartoons,” Maher told the creator of Fox’s “Family Guy,” “because the things you get away with in cartoons—I’m so jealous of …”

Notice that Bill Maher offends with capital letters. He must be a MAJOR OFFENDER.

Using the phrase "serial anti-Catholic bigots" seems odd to me. It's kind of like bigotry in installments, sort of like bigotry that is turned off for awhile, until the next installment of bigotry comes along.

I think that Catholics have no right to judge others on decency. Can you say PRIESTS WHO RAPE CHILDREN!

It doesn't take much for Bill Donohue to be offended, but whenever he is, I feel a little bit more happy. Kudos to Bill Maher and Seth MacFarlane. And, I don't even like "Family Guy."

Where Is Bill Donohue When You Really Need Him?

From These religious clowns should scare you: GOP candidates’ gullible, lunatic faith is a massive character flaw by Jeffrey Tayler

(And where are all those annoying trigger-warning zealots when you need them? Why don’t they campaign to have the Bible stamped with “TRIGGER WARNING: contains multiple accounts of genocide, warfare, murder, enslavement, sexual abuse of women and underage girls, and ritual human and animal sacrifice”?)

Why is Bill Donohue more concerned with the evil secular humanists (especially their movies and TV shows that are way too sexy for him) than the evils of the Bible?

Bill likes to whip himself into a tizzy about evil secular humanists:

I've had it with mean-spirited secular activists out to turn our society and culture inside out and upside down. They will stop at nothing to smash our traditions, norms and values, making mince meat out of our Judeo-Christian heritage. Like termites, they eat away at the cultural edifice of our society. Some, perversely, are working to sabotage their own religion. They must be stopped because there is too much at stake. 

And of course the victim card must be played. Because this an important civil rights issue, because they say it is:

The Catholic League is the nation's largest Catholic civil rights organization. Founded in 1973 by the late Father Virgil C. Blum, S.J., the Catholic League defends the right of Catholics lay and clergy alike to participate in American public life without defamation or discrimination. It is led by its' President, William A. Donohue, Ph.D.

Get back to me on that defamation and discrimination thing after the United States elects an atheist president. Bill is immune to his own hypocrisy, isn't he? Oh the irony!

Witchcraft

Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It’s witchcraft

And I’ve got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?

‘cause its witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo

From Pundits Slam Palin On Witchcraft:

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments today on news reports that an African minister once asked God to protect Sarah Palin from witchcraft:

“In 2005, Sarah Palin went to church and found that a visiting minister from Kenya, Bishop Thomas Muthee, was doing the service. He offered a prayer asking Jesus to keep her free from ‘every form of witchcraft.’ Palin said nothing—she simply kept her head bowed throughout the blessing. Why this is newsworthy is one issue, but why it has quickly become the subject of scorn is another.

“For the past two decades, Americans have been lectured by educators and the chattering class that we must respect cultural, religious, racial and ethnic diversity. It seems that exceptions to the creed of multiculturalism are only made when it suits the ideological agenda of the left. Enter Keith Olbermann: He exploited this incident last night as a club to paint Palin as an extremist. Moreover, he used this single blessing to unfavorably contrast the African minister to Barack Obama’s spiritual mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The MSNBC commentator incredibly said that Wright—who spewed hate speech before Obama for 20 years—‘seems pretty mainstream’ by comparison.

“Witchcraft is a sad reality in many parts of Africa, resulting in scores of deaths in Kenya over the past two decades. Bishop Muthee’s blessing, then, was simply a reflection of his cultural understanding of evil. While others are not obliged to accept his interpretation, all can be expected to respect it. More than that—Muthee should be hailed for asking God to shield Palin from harmful forces, however they may be manifested. And for this he is mocked and Palin ridiculed?

“We know that many cultural elites have a hard time embracing religion, but is it too much to ask that they at least show some manners when discussing subjects which most Americans hold dear?”

Manners? In this case I think that “manners” = “shut the fuck up!”

God is not real. Witches are not real. No problem there.

People who think that God is real, are real. People who think that witches are real, are real. These people like to tell other people what is real. Lots of problems there.

What about all the people who are not “cultural elites” that have a hard time embracing religion? I guess we don’t have to show any manners.

What about idiots that have a hard time embracing the concept of the separation of church and state? I guess they don’t have to show any intelligence.

Crackers And Wafers And Rudeness, Oh My!

Some other bloggers, internetters, and unmentionables think that PZ Myers was rude or abusive to the Catholics because he “didn't accord the Eucharist proper respect.” Some think that he is a jerk. Some find his conduct reprehensible. Just what is the proper respect that an atheist should have for the Eucharist?

Here’s what Catholics believe about atheists like Mr. Myers and myself:

We will spend eternity burning in hell. They believe this just as much as they believe in transubstantiation.

How rude is that?

The god that the Catholics believe in is a fucking asshole.

How rude is that?

For a more sane perspective on all of this visit Majikthise.

The world would be a better place with no religion at all.
