Apparently Michael is having difficulty with the fact that the Vatican's opinion's only apply to those who chose to be Catholic. Either that or his own homosexual self-loathing inspired this article.

I like the Catholics stand on Homosexuals and Pedophilia, Now if they would place actions where their words are and dump Homosexual and Pedophile Priests we would be in complete agreement.

What part of “unnatural” and “disorderd” do they not get?

All any journalist has to do is a simple search on official Church documents, like the following, and then read, in order to get the Vatican’s stance on any of these matters.

On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons
Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
October 1, 1986

Where does the Islamist Human Rights Council stand on freedom of religion in muslim ruled nations? Such as the Saudi government seizing and burning Christian Bibles? Death penalty for any non-muslims who'd dare enter the segregated cities of Mecca and Medina?

Some "human rights" council.

“...for the world to tolerate bigotry and intolerance towards the gay and lesbian community.”

Since when is a phobia bigotry? Intolerance, maybe, but not bigotry. If I have claustrophobia, I’m intolerant of closed places. If I have agoraphobia, I’m intolerant of open spaces. But bigotry? No.

I think the term “homophobia” as applied by those who oppose it is a bastardization of the concept of phobias and should not be used, but if they want to use it then they should treat it like other phobias.

The United Nations should do more to rid itself of perverts who exploit woman and children for sexual slavery.

THOSE are human rights being wronged.

Love the lib use of the “phobia” appendage.

IMHO, I’m not phobic if I’m repulsed by the thought of fudge packing.

(Doesn’t stop me from knowing and liking homosexuals...but it’s still gross. Period.)

I’d think a number of religious groups would oppose the UN resolution inasmuch as it encroaches on that religion’s right to enforce standards of conduct on its adherents in order to remain in good standing. Where Are The Moose? These are about the only ones that answer homosexual relations with violence today. One would think this would bring about a brouhaha over Islam, but no! Instead churches, which are much laxer and forgiving, are being drubbed on.

When government constructs like the United Nations seeks to redefine what IS and IS NOT a sin, they are pushing their OWN religious view.

Screw the United Nations. They don’t speak for ME or my religious traditions that have lasted for THOUSANDS of years.

In checking out the author of this piece it says: Michael Stone is a freethinker and freelance writer residing in beautiful Portland, Oregon. As the National Humanist Examiner, Michael's concern is the place where politics and religion intersect. The task is to promote civil rights and the separation of church and state; to explore and expose religious bigotry, oppression and discrimination; to promote reason and eschew superstition and dogma. You can contact Michael at mstonemat@gmail.com.

In other words Mr Stone believes that the only valid opinion is his. Too bad he's wrong.

To be fair, the mop-up has been underway for years now.

I want to see the U.N. take the Moose head on, then I’ll know they’re SERIOUS.

What do they have to complain about, the Holy Roman Catholic Church should be prosecuted in the RICO statues.

"As the National Humanist Examiner. . ."

Is that an elected or appointed (or self-anointed) position? Whichever, its bearer certainly doesn't lack for pompous, solipsistic self-aggrandizement, does he?

The pope of unbelief? Surely it meant to say “At” rather than “As” but it could be a Freudian slip.
