the comments are indeed funny, but we need action:

-Call your local bishop and declare war. I’ve called mine at home and in Maine where I visit often. Tell them we are watching, we are working to take away their tax exempt status and tell them to stay out of politics. Then you can add a little humor..it is usually a woman that answers the phone “how do you sleep at night working for a drag queen gay cult that demonizes women? Don’t you know they HATE what is between your legs?”

-Then call or write all your representatives, asking them to sponsor legislation taking away tax exempt status. You can ask your state reps to impose a state “evil” tax and to force municipalities to levy property taxes. Federal reps should sponsor legislation to direct the IRS to tax churches’ income and wealth.

-Write letters to editors. I’m the local athiest around here…I go to parties and people say “nice to meet our local athiest”. Be out there and be proud that your are right in working to end religion’s domination.

-Talk to your friends and neighbors. Tell them tithing is murder! They financially support a killing machine. I just got one neighbor to stop tithing and stop paying $300 extra/month for her priests health care. Make them get jobs like the rest of us.

Complaining won’t do it..get out there and help push religion to its grave.

I can’t wait…what an auction they’ll have when the RCC goes bankrupt!

Why do y’all think the konstipated konservative kristianist PAGAN FERTILITY KULTS are EVER going to change?

Might as well p**s on a forest fire.

They’re not going to change. They ARE going to go away … at least the Roman “church” is … in another generation.

The average age of a US Roman priest is 59; the Los Angeles archdiocese recently ordained ONE man to replace the TWENTY-some-odd who died or retired.

Do the math.

I remember visiting St. Peter’s in Rome (I wanted to see the Pietá) … the guard charged with barring skimpily clad tourists, after undressing an attractive young women with his eyes for a NUMBER of minutes, licked his lips, pointed to her skirt, and leered,

“TOO SHORT!”

That pretty much sums up the Roman “church,” in Italy, at least.

The Irish-American clergy, OTOH, would have taken one look, made the sign of the cross, and reached for the whiskey bottle .
