Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on Saturday's "Reason Rally" in Washington, D.C. attended by atheists:
It is impossible for atheists to have a rally without bashing people of faith. They especially loathe Christians, and no group gets them jacked up more than Roman Catholics. Saturday's rally was no exception.
Although atheists claim that people of faith brainwash kids, it is they who are the masters. "Hey Kids," one of the signs read, "It's Okay—GOD is PRETEND." Being vulgar comes natural to them: "Religion is Like a Penis," one sign read, "It's OK to have one…But it is NOT OK to whip it out in public, shove it in my face, or tell me what to do because you have one...." Then there was the gal who held a sign demanding that adherents of the three monotheistic religions "Get Out of My Panties."
They got specific with signs such as "So many Christians, so few lions." There was a man dressed as Jesus riding an inflatable dinosaur; another man held a large wooden cross with a mask of "The Joker" on top. They really got specific when Australian songwriter Tim Minchin thrilled the crowd with "The Pope Song." Here are some of the lyrics: "I don't give a f*** if calling the pope a motherf***er means…You see I don't give a f*** what any other motherf***er believes about Jesus and his motherf***ing mother."
The big draw was Englishman Richard Dawkins. He implored the crowd to "ridicule and show contempt" for people of faith. "Mock them, ridicule them in public," he bellowed. Especially Catholics. Dawkins not only mocked the Eucharist, he advised the crowd to ask Catholics, "Do you really believe...that when a priest blesses a wafer, it turns into the body of Christ?"
Catholics take note: The fact that the atheists always attack us more than any other religious group is a backhanded compliment. They know who the real enemy of hate is, and who they must defeat. They don’t have a prayer.
Most likely.
In fact, real atheists probably would have nothing to do with this, they tend to be much more reasonable to deal with, and respectful of others’ beliefs, but these people definitely have a huge axe to grind.
Atheists judge me as a ‘’fool’’ and a ‘’dupe’’ for my beliefs. I judge them the same. There is no such thing as ‘’Islamism’’. Islam is ALL radical and Saracens are all terrorists , in thought and in deed. Nice try at moral relativism, atheist.
....... He [Richard Dawkins] implored the crowd to "ridicule and show contempt" for people of faith.
Hmmmm....bigots speaking at a "reason rally". I'm sure the irony escaped them.

Here's some reason for the atheists:
I don't believe in space aliens or their unidentified spacecraft. I haven't searched every square inch of the universe for these aliens, so I can't rationally say that they don't exist, and there are plenty of folks out there that do believe and some of them are very credible witnesses. That said, I don't deny the possibility of the existence of space aliens or UFOs. I'm just saying that I require a substantial amount of proof for such an incredible claim and that proof has yet to materialize.
The same line of thought can be used for the case for the existence of God. Just because God hasn't revealed himself to you doesn't mean that God doesn't exist--it just means that God hasn't revealed himself to you, period.
I’ve prayed for him. I don’t think it’ll do any good.
My son was accosted by an atheist at his school and he asked them his question:
“If what you say is true and we are no more than food for worms, what does it matter to you that I live a lie and believe in what you think is a fantasy? Why not just let me live in the dream and leave me alone? What difference does it really make?”
So far, he has yet to get an intelligent answer.
This is the same son who, when viewing the entrance to Michael Jackson’s personal theme park, asked “if it is Neverland, why is there a huge floral clock at the entrance?”
Soviet Union:
The League of Militant Atheists, AKA Union of Belligerent Atheists or Society of the Godless
Their slogan:
“Struggle against religion is a struggle for socialism”

Mock them, ridicule them in public,” he bellowed
Wasting your time. I would have to care about your opinion and since I don’t. Beside I have read the Book and we win in the end.....
All right, you SOBs! I don't want to hear one word of whining or sniveling about how "uncivil" the discourse has become when we start doing the same thing to you. And to homos and transgenders and guys with multiple piercings and ho's with more tattoos than a circus freak. No moral high ground left for you jerks. None.
The gloves are off.
But really, I ask you: does doubting that prayer would do any good for Richard Dawkins reflect lack of faith in him, or lack of faith in Christ?
I suspect praying is the only thing that could help poor Dawkins be even a tiny bit more decent human being, and myself as well.
Atheists=hedonists

I know how to kill atheism in our lifetime. Roll tape, play it back and ask, “Do you really want to be like these losers?” Lather, rinse, repeat. Heck, showing screen-caps of the American Atheists online store alone would do massive damage.
LOL! Yep. and I have a rosary with his name on it, too. My hubby called his rosary his ".638 Slammer." Works for me. Spiritual Warfare calls for weapons.
This Catholic does not. I judge my atheists on a case-by-case basis, but I expect the same courtesy from them, as well. Thanks for your kind comment.
Divine Mercy prayer. Roll out the heavy artillery!
Tip o' the hat to you.
A person who acts in an honest, upright, kind, and decent manner always has my respect.
I don’t know why anyone would want to do this. God is the only way, and He give Grace. Grace through Christ which is what (I) we need~!
Maybe not all of them, but Dawkins is definitely both. He is anti-Christian by the remarks he makes. He is atheist as he believes 100% in "naturalism" and believes that there is absolutley NO God.
