Fuck Catholics

Now in the news: backlash and protests, as Obama has agreed to speak at the mightiest of Catholic Institutions in America.

Thank God that Notre Dame has their storied football program, or they would be as much of a detriment to civilization as the rest of the Catholic system. Unfortunately, a couple of bible-thumping quarterbacks isn't enough if you still belong to the first anti-Christian sacreligious cult, the largest in the world, the one that didn't even wait for the Christian Church to establish before flat out discarding half the teachings that Jesus devoted (and sacrificed) his life to get out into the world.

Now the institution has invited the Baptist President of our country to speak at their commencement, as well as offer him an honorary J.D., and in exchange he will provide an intellectual debate over his controversial decision to allow federal funding for abortion and stem-cell research.

However, the student bodies of this alleged "house of higher learning" have come out strongly against education. Instead, they are pushing for the Catholic tradition set by the Apostle Luke and which reigned free in the 17th century, directly leading to the darkest time in our history and more deaths and suffering than Christianity as a whole has been able to prevent. That tradition is oppression of dissent and abolishment of thought. They have spoken, and spoken loudly, in their belief that anyone who doesn't blindly agree with their perscribed belief system, someone who considers matters of life, death, and soul to be a little complicated, even someone whose own belief system doesn't allow for the more rational position of pointing out that their own beliefs have long been disproved beyond any shadow of a doubt—someone who proposes even that minimal level of thought, as is dictated in Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Christianity, and every other philosphical system that isn't Catholicism or Islam, should be considered, is to be banned from their institution, and should not be allowed to speak to them.

The only thing Catholics have ever gotten right is that they're not going to Hell. As the world progresses forward without them, as the percentage of people who prefer reason over mythology creeps toward the majority, as the history books start to shift Dogmatic Christianity into the same category as all the other ridiculous religions of primitive humans, this superminority of our kind continue to serve as the single greatest obstacle to the survival of humankind. There are more of us who consider the Catholic Church a tragedy of history than they realize. And as their leaders become more aware of that fact, they press harder to hide their denizens from the collective thought of the rest of us, and in time, they will become so separated from the voices of reason that they will break off and shrivel away as another failed experiment in the forward progress of our kind. Homo Erectus, Habilis, Neanderthals, Catholics. Yet another addition to the list of people we'll look back at and wonder how humans could ever believe something which falls apart before their very eyes.
