Freedom From Religion Foundation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is no philosophical vacuum called “Freedom from Religion”. Every sentient being has a religious worldview. It is either godless or God-centered. This is axiomatic.

Also...There is almost nothing in this life that is religiously neutral in content or consequences. This is one of the major reasons why government should be as limited as possible and most civic services should be provided by the free market.

Too bad they didn’t leave 30 years ago.

They would have done less damage.

The homosexuals and pedophiles are on a roll. They’ve become pretty bold and obnoxious since the so called “courts” awarded them protected species status.

The ad asks "Why are you propping up the pillars of a tyrannical and autocratic, woman-hating, sex-perverting, antediluvian Old Boys Club?"

This is going to have the exact opposite effect of the one they desire.

I liked the cartoon. Actually if they swallowed they wouldn’t need abortion contraception or birth control.

People who leave the Church leave her because she is a pre-medieval institution; and people who love the Church love her because she is a pre-medieval institution.

Isn’t God’s Providence wonderful?

After I finished laughing out loud, I realized that if there was an "on-the-fence" Catholic in the audience, this might just prick their conscience to make a firmer stand on behalf of the Church, perhaps even return to full participation.

God writes straight with crooked lines, and we never know when something like this, intended for evil against the Church, can be turned to something positive and constructive.

The atheists had better watch out. What's the old saying? "Be careful what you wish for..."

Is there a link to the ad in the NYT? I’m only finding the 2nd hand link to the Creative Minority Report. I want to send it around to some of my friends, but want to make sure I can prove it was in the NYT.

“Woman hating”? Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!! These people need to quit acting like they are speaking for all women! I am a woman, a Catholic woman, and my husband and I (I guess) are living in the Dark Ages because we are not using any contraception. I guess that means our sex is “perverse”? I disagree. REAL love is opposite of perverse because we are open to life.

Catholic Church and House of Israel will be persecuted
Sunday, March 4th, 2012 @ 03:30 pm

Excerpt:
My dearly beloved daughter the time for the opening of the seals which will result in you opening the seventh seal is almost upon you.

Because of your prayers much upheaval is being averted.

You, My followers are accepting My cross and you will unite with the Immaculate Heart of My Mother as you march towards My Glorious Kingdom.

As the falsities and depravities of the world escalate, so too will the faith of those who lead My army.

The churches will be persecuted namely the Catholic Church and the House of Israel.

Many will be pleased. These two religions will be tormented and every effort , both externally and within, will be made to eradicate any trace of either.

There will be great rejoicing around the world when they have fallen.

Many will consider them to be destroyed. People will then ignore their corpses.

After 13 years of being away, and almost becoming a Pastor in another denomination, I am coming home to the RCC. Thanks to the care and friendship of my Parish Priest, the care and support of my family and the calling of the Holy Spirit. There are many of us (including my girlfriend who is converting) returning home. Praise God!

Whether or not someone “QUITS” the church is a matter of their personal faith and decision. However, it's very disingenuous to approach a nominal catholic, who barely knows the Lord, and encourage them to QUIT the faith they barely know for an ideology that has it's absolute “roots” in secularism. I personally pray for the conversion of heart to the Lord for all peoples; not a walking away.

On the other hand, the publicly and highly visible obstinate Catholic dissidents such as Pelosi, Kerry, Sibelius ... and the list is endless; should all be publicly EXCOMMUNICATED from the Catholic Church until they repent of their allegiance to Lucifer.

If this ad had been about Islam instead of about the Catholic Church, the Imams would be issuing fatwas, the author would be receiving death threats, and Obama would be wringing his hands and apologizing to the world.

Sponsored by atheists.
