Update:
Links to the referenced Atheist Facebook accounts:
1. Virgin Mary Should've Aborted
2. The Virgin Mary Should've Aborted
Facebook Account for discussing the removal of the accounts listed above:
Remove "Virgin Mary Should've Aborted"
WARNING! Be aware…this is deeply disturbing.
Please listen:
The Blessed Virgin Mary is under a brutal attack on Facebook!
And because I know that you dearly love Our Lady and the Mother of Jesus, I believe that you will help us put a stop to this terrible sacrilege.
And do this by telling Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg:
“Take Down This Page!”
Will you?
We must stop the giant social media site Facebook from continuing to carry this brutal attack on the Virgin Mary:
Yes, it’s hard to believe, but the page has a top banner headlined with the blasphemous message…
“Virgin Mary Should’ve Aborted.”
That blasphemy is bad enough, but…
…it is matched in blasphemous messaging by an image of Our Lord Jesus Christ as a fetus:
complete with umbilical cord (as if still in the womb, hence He should’ve been aborted) with a bloody crown of thorns with His five bleeding Sacred Wounds of the Crucifixion and with the word ‘YAHWE’ tattooed onto His arm; evidently to make sure people understand exactly of Whom they are referring: the Son of God and His most holy mother.
On top of that, Our Lady is pictured…
… with a cigar hanging out of her mouth.
And last but not least…
…a smaller picture on the left shows a traditionally veiled “Mary,” nine months pregnant, with her robe pulled up over her most holy womb, swearing with a four-letter word as she looks with implied anger, irritation, and revolt at her pregnant belly.
My friend, how can we just ignore this? We can’t!
Godless, impure, sexual, and mocking language, comments, and opinions are made throughout the entire page especially directed against Our Lady’s ever-virginity.
So we must defend Mary’s honor.
Tell Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg: “Take Down This Page!”
If tens of thousands of Catholics pray and speak up, we hope and pray Facebook will enforce its hate-speech policy and remove this blasphemous page.
We’ve been successful in getting YouTube to remove many blasphemous videos in the past!
Remember: The Facebook Policies/Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, Category 3 (Safety), item 7, says:
“You will not post content that is hate speech…”
And Facebook clarifies what they consider to be Hate Speech on their Community Standards page:
“Facebook distinguishes between serious and humorous speech…we do not permit individuals or groups to attack others based on their…religion…”
And yet, here is an entire page devoted to blaspheming and mocking Our Lady’s holy and divine pregnancy.
And with the evident intent to demean and insult the faith of Catholics.
Isn’t that "hate speech"?
It is in my book.
Thank you for speaking out. And may Our Lord Jesus Christ reward you!
In Jesus & Mary, Robert E. Ritchie

“My posts show what I mean by them..”
No, not clearly. Are you claiming that a protest is equal to “book burning”?
The atheists will make life difficult for Christians because they are about making life miserable for everyone. They also make their own lives miserable. This is what you get from a mindset that says, “Life is short, so make it the best you can.” This is idiocy.

Just FYI The freepers (freerepulic.com) are trying to start a campaign to have FB close you down.
AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE FB PAGE ARE THREE DOTS ...
CLICK AND CHOOSE “REPORT THIS PAGE”
Indeed. Sick sob’s.
I agree.
Yes, lets all go to Facebutt and respond from FR.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Not my will but thine oh Lord.
Free speech for me, but not for thee.
Reminds me if the people complaining about the open carry groups in Texas. If they’re allowed to express their right to free speech why not a bunch of atheists. You don’t have to visit a Facebook page you disagree with.
God Bless
You summed up my feelings exactly. If they were truly the intellectuals they claim to be they would realize that they don’t know for certain if Jesus exists or not and that they might be insulting the very source of their possible salvation.
I would certainly think that if they were the mental giants they are espousing themselves to be (by implying they are athiest and intellectuals that don’t buy into the existence of a “sky god” and that everything can be explained by science), they might understand the concept of The Godel God Thereom or Pascals Wager and how it could apply to them but I doubt it.
You’ve obviously never known the Holy Rosary...the Christocentric prayer.
Tell them this is exactly why his birth was planned for that time. They can even read the prophecies of his birth. Couldn’t have been earlier or later, and nothing Satan could do would prevent the birth or injure either mother or child afterwards unless permitted by the Father. Great opportunity for sharing the Truth, the Way, and the Life.
Pray for the poor fools. Their sad, silly attack is only pathetic. Hitler himself with all his fury and resultant dead discommoded God not in the slightest.
after posting my initial response I read the replies. Good grief. Praising God makes Satan and his little army retreat like Iraqis and the responses here are disappointing.
An attack on Mary? Isn't it an attack on Jesus, the child she was carrying?
Your attitude sounds like the school principal who won't defend a pupil or a boss who won't defend a worker who is being bullied. FReeping is a very specific and effective response to aggression. Airy dismissals when the left has attacked, attacked, attacked -- since the 50s -- are what got this country in the shape it's in. Even Jesus said, "If you won't stand up for me, I won't stand up for you before the Father." Do you think He appreciates this particular form of blasphemy? And by the way, I'm not Catholic.
One has to wonder why you two got on this thread, since you have taken many, many posts to say, “Nyah, nyah, nyah, NYAH nyah!” If you don’t think it’s valid, why do you think anyone who clicked because they are interested in the idea wants to listen to your put-downs, or sophistry over whether Jesus’s mother is worthy of respect? Are you not conservatives? Can you not just live and let live? If you think yourselves enlightened evangelicals, this evangelical thinks that such anti-Catholic hairsplitting is a poor example of enlightenment.
Yes, and the Allies merely prayed for Hitler, who was silly and pathetic; and soon all was well. Oh, wait...
This thread should be in the ‘Catholic Caucus’.
