It always staggered me as a happily lapsed catholic and ex student of the Christian Brothers that anyone could read history and the bible and think that the world has been better off because of religion. Genocide has, more often than not, been the result of fundamentalist beliefs, whether in South America in the 15th C or Serbia and Bosnia in the 20th. The genocides of Hitler and Stalin may have be atheistic in root cause, but they are the exception not the rule. Any Abrahamic root religion (Islam, Judaism and Christianity) can be tarred with the same brush: intolerant, haters of science and education, and more concerned with keeping thier flock believers than in their welfare.
As the very happy great x5 grandson of an irish convict sent to Australia I can only see the opressiveness of the church. No condoms! Keep them poor and breeding, so that the church continues to get new blood, impoverished, ignorant, but oh so obedient. No abortion! Sure! let the inbred bastard of a child abusing father create misery for the mother and child for the rest of thier lives. Preach hatred and fear of non-believers! Sure.. and fear creates violence. How often does the (or did the) church act as the opiate of the opressive and brutish government du jour... Telling the poor and down trodden, not to worry, just die and all will be rewarded? PROVE IT! Send me a fucking postcard. "Having a wonderful time, wish you were here!"
NO ladyboys! (he just went TOO FAR!)
Yes I have met some great preists out bush. True believers. Anyone who has ever done back-stroke in a gutter loves the Salvation Army. Again true believers more interested in human welfare than converting the heathens.
At the end of the day this man was a Nazi. He was part of an atheist, "man as god" machine that believed in the aryan super race.
Not to be listened to by any thinking person.
One last question for my Irish bretheren, especially thos who might have enjoyed an education at the hands of Edmund Rice and co....
Was it just my experience or do all Christian Brothers have really bad breath? it was like they used turds for toothpaste.
