A coalition of atheists and Christians will protest during World Youth Day against the Pope's visit to Sydney.
With slogans including “Gay is great” and “Condoms save lives“, the NoToPope Coalition is planning a peaceful rally and march on July 19, the day Pope Benedict XVI travels to Randwick racecourse in Sydney's east.
“The Pope is homophobic,” coalition spokeswoman Rachel Evans said in a statement today.
“Pope Benedict also condemns millions of people to AIDS via his world-wide anti-condom policy.”
Members of the NoToPope Coalition include The Metropolitan Community Church, Atheists Sydney, The Socialist Alliance, Resistance, and Community Action Against Homophobia.
Atheists Sydney spokesman Anthony Englund said the protesters wanted to engage the broader community in the issues of homosexuality and contraception.
“These issues should be of concern not just to church groups but to society as a whole, and to young people in particular,” he said.
The coalition is planning a rally at Taylor Square in Sydney's inner east on Saturday, July 19, followed by a march to Randwick racecourse, where the Pope will be holding a prayer vigil with tens of thousands of young people.
Savvy Catholics should distribute copies of the following to the activists. These statistics support the position of the Catholic Church.
Homosexual activists never let the truth get in the way of their slogans.
The usual suspects once again: C.A.F.
Communists, Atheists, and F...
How does the Pope’s anti-condom message condemn people to die of AIDS?
First of all, these protesters have contempt for the Pope, and there is nothing he could do to placate them anyway.
Second of all, homosexuals in mutually monogamous relationships have scant fear of AIDS. Are they implying that promiscuous behavior is the norm among certain people, and they need condoms in order to have sex with strangers? Exactly what are they saying?
Thirdly, if they feel so strongly, a Gay charitable foundation could distribute condoms all over the world if they wanted to . They don’t need the blessings of the Catholic Church to do so. They could proclaim to everyone, ignore what the Pope says, your salvation rests with a condom, not in anything a church teaches.
I’m sure these well-dressed, clean scrubbed, polite young people will make their point in a mature, respectful manner ;<]
Whoa! Talk about strange bedfellows.
Gee, I see a pattern here...
Communists, Atheists, and F...
Lutherans doesn't start with an "F"....

There. I fixed it:
A coalition of Christophobes will protest during World Youth Day against theire archenemy’s visit to Sydney.
With slogans including “Depravity is great” and “We like to pretend that condoms make anal intercourse a tad less deadly”, the NoToPope Coalition is planning a rally and march brimming with half-dressed perverts cavorting on July 19, the day Pope Benedict XVI travels to Randwick racecourse in Sydney’s east.
“We are homophiles,” coalition spokeswoman Rachel Evans said in a statement today.
“We love condoms regardless of how ineffective they have proven to be, and we get lots of mileage from the leftist media out of our false claims that the Catholic Church’s refusal to endorse as moral homosexual anal intercourse and sodomy (which would be a direct contradiction to the Bible and thousands of years of moral teaching and practice) serves to condemn millions of people to AIDS.”
Members of the NoToPope Coalition include The Faithless Metropolitan Community Church, Satan’s Atheists Sydney, The Socialist Satanic Alliance, Satan’s Resistance, and Community Action Advicating Homophilia.
Satan’s Atheists Sydney spokesman Anthony Englund said the protesters wanted to propagandize the broader community in the issues of homophilia and spread the false gospel that there is such a thing as sex with zero consequences.
“These issues should be of concern not just to church groups but to society as a whole, and to satanic young people in particular,” he said.
The coalition is planning a radical and demeaning rally of a few dozen perverted aging unemployed baby boom whackdoodles at Taylor Square in Sydney’s inner east on Saturday, July 19, followed by a raucous march to Randwick racecourse, where they hope to disrupt and demean the Pope and the hundreds of thousands of faithful young men and women who will be holding a prayer vigil.
Hell gets hotter and bigger, every day.
Let me say from experience in arguing this issue elsewhere, people will ignore facts that don’t fit their anti-Catholic views.
Paraphrasing the guy in “Jaws”: “We gotta get a bigger handbasket!”
At first that headline was very off-putting but after thinking it over I guess one could call me an atheist christian; I was baptized in the Methodist church at an early age by my grandmother’s insistence and have been around mostly christian people my entire life.
After much thought I have concluded that strictly heirarchical churches are too stifling to the human character and dictatorial churches even worse.
The best choice is no church at all and a deep respect for those who live their lives with a strong conviction that causing harm is against the success of society and the race of man.
However, I have never been entranced by Mother Earth’s call to worship the ground upon which I trod and will fatefully crawl again - only to be covered by it in the end.
The final reward may simply be silence.
OMG....these twisted souls keep spitting often in the face of God....
Yikes....now that’s scary scenario....we may all be sinners but Jesus Christ the true Messiah has spared us from Hell if we acknowledge and accept His saving blood. These blind idiots are on a crash course to hell by rejecting the all wise and loving God who must exercise His judgement on those who reject Him and His plan for eternal slavation through Jesus. Pray that they wake up before its too late for them.
For the Gays: "Do not lie with a male as with a woman, it is an abomination". Leviticus 18:22
PS. errrr... the Pope did not write these scriptures dontchya know?

There is no such thing as a gay Christian.
The lifestyles are diametrically opposed.
God, Jesus, and the Apostles have all declared Homosexuality a sin.
If you are actively sinning, you are not being Christ-Like, hence you are not a Christian.
Simple logic.
Target rich environment.
