What an extraordinarily absurd comment ... Catholics dont possess a "unique" sense of humor ... their humor is like the rest of mankind ... your observations were intended to ridicule Catholics ... please be honest enough to say so ... do not pretend that Catholics are so special that you can say something which ridicules them which is so "special" that your hatred is insignificant

You've gone from puzzling, to angering, to a caricature. Now you are pathetic and small and tiny and insignificant. I laugh at your silliness, and your weak and pathetic attempts to smear my good friend the Senator.

You are the consummate "Weenie Boy". Thank you, seriously, thank you for outing yourself.

Ah.

And I thank you, for being "serious." And your use of the word "consummate" means you know a word some unconsummate people dont know. "Consummate Weenie Boy" are three words which are interesting, in answering someone. "Outing" is another word, which is interesting ... I wonder exactly what you mean by that. What does it mean to "out" yourself, in any logical sense?

I am curious. Are you able to see the differnce between telling someone you believe their belief is superstitious, as opposed to making fun of what you believe is their superstition? For those who are conservative, this is a good question.

Conservatives, to my mind, are particularly able to distinguish between those subjects which are the civilized topic of comment, and those which are mere riduclue of different beliefs.

Oddly enough, directly confronting a person with your belief that their belief is a superstition, is more civilized than merely making fun of it. Then, there is a basis for respectful conversation. Adults do that. Conservatives are adults.

It is ok to refrain from defending your position because you are daunted by the intellectual task. Just be modest enough to do so.
