I'm glad that we have people like Richard Dawkins, keep up the outstanding work.

@rangersrshameless You need to answer some questions here. 1) Where did you get the figure of "8000" pedophiles? 2) In what way did the government cover it up?

Making puerile insults such as "dorkins" isn't exactly helping your case either.

Random guy in crowd sums up the Catholic church in one word.

@turdbogbuster You can say that about straight couples who don't ever have children, or about women that have abortions, or about people who are fertile, or about people that never fuck.

Do you think all these groups are a waste too? I hate religion, but you do not know what a secular society is or should be. You're implied idea of a secular "atheist" society is seriously flawed.

okay, is the fat girl in the background deaf? talking to someone deaf? or just making a lot of hand gestures as she speaks?

Hitler fanatically believed in an evil "Jewish world conspiracy". He didn't mainly get this idea from the church, but the anti-Jewish propaganda by Christian clergics over the centuries ("They murdered God") has made the Jews outsiders in the eyes of the majority: "They do not belong to us".

So when the Nazis systematically isolated and eventually killed the Jews, only few identified with the Jews, the majority remained indifferent. And the murderers had a free hand.

I'm an atheist and dislike homosexuals. They are a biological waste product not required in an atheist secular society.

Erm...just because Hitler never renounced his baptism means absolutely nothing. Hitler hated Catholicism with vigor; why else did he send thousands of Catholics to concentration camps (Dachau alone held 2,579 Catholic Priests)? Ah, but I’m not surprised… Dawkins (and his lackeys) are so engaged with spewing venom against the Church that the truth is forgotten! Maybe someday they’ll learn… in the meantime, they shall be in my prayers.
