The Further Adventures in Stupidity and Offensiveness of the Vatican

Taken from today's iWon Instant Poll.

Are you listening Pope? Are some of your filthy kid touching minions taking a time out from molesting children to read up on the reaction of your disgusting protection and reassignment of a man who looked the other way while his priests were molesting children? What's next? You're going to recommended sainthood for the priest that buggers the most children?

People, as shown by the numbers above, are as disgusted as I am. Half of the people who took the poll give the Catholic Church an F for its handling of the sex abuse. Sixty five percent disagreed with the reassignment of Law. Two thirds also believe this will continue to harm the church's image and two thirds wouldn't accept a scumbag like Law back into the community. These predators are worse than the highly publicized recent releases of sexual predators in the Bay Area of late (Patrick with the damned near impossible to spell last name and the other one, the one that got the Oakland shelter shut down, Cary Verse). They've been in jail, they've theoretically paid their debt to society and see how they're welcomed back into society? They are threatened, shunned and hated. Neighbors to them have armed themselves and wouldn't hesitate to shoot either of these men for stepping through their front doors. But somehow, priests are still accepted, somehow they get a pass when they're far, far worse for the damage they cause.

Can't you in-bred morons get it through your faith-wracked skulls that this whole sex scandal with children isn't going to go away, people aren't going to just forget about it and bow down to your "Word of God" bullshit. Priests and officers of the church should be protecting their "flocks" but instead they're fleecing them and defrocking the children.

People wonder why I speak so strongly against organized religion and this is a huge part of it. This bizarre belief that they are privy to some higher authority all the while their agents are fucking children. If there is a God, and I don't think there is, you are most definitely roasting for eternity you pedophilic asswipes of humanity. Why is there no God? Because if there were then he or she would be raining lightning bolts of righteous justice down upon these craven scumbags acting in his or her name and then proceeding to bugger children.

Its sickening.
