Terrorism

[caffeine]

Apparently, it is terrorism to criticize the catholics

This is terrorism, too. Attacking the Church is terrorism. Feeding blind irrational rage against those who always speak in the name of love - love for life and love for man - that is terrorism.

And confirmed with this
ROME (Reuters) - The Vatican's official newspaper accused an Italian comedian on Wednesday of "terrorism" for criticizing the Pope and warned his rhetoric could fuel a return to 1970s-style political violence.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican's second-highest ranking doctrinal official on Monday forcefully branded homosexual marriage an evil and denounced abortion and euthanasia as forms of "terrorism with a human face."

And speaking of terrorism
Recently Pope Benedict XVI condemned terrorist attacks against civilians in Great Britain, Egypt, Iraq, and Turkey.

But, he failed to mention Israel. I guess the Jews slipped his mind. Sort of like when when Popes Pious 11 and 12 sort of forgot to condemn the Nazi's and actively collaborated with them. Oh, shit! Am I a terrorist now?

What if I just state a fact. The church excommunicated Galileo after his Heresy trial in 1633. Galileo was right and the church was wrong. Oops, more terrorism. The Catholic church lies about condom usage and tells people in Africa that the condoms are "laced" with AIDS so that they will not go against bullshit fucking religious dogma and use them. The church is wrong. What am I up to, 3 counts now? How about this? The Catholic church as in institution is nothing but a controlling, greedy, wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice, gluttonous, misogynistic, racist, deceitful, hateful, self-perpetuating stain on humanity.
time passes
I think that is the Swiss Guard at the door. Lucky for me their little knives got taken away from them at the airport.

i'd have more sympathy for you feeling oppressed by mother church if you'd ranted about the actual physical acts of terrorism involving ied's on american soil last week or week before.

i am cranky, so am not wording well, but it's still true.

I am also cranky. Please accept my crankyness as justification for anything I may write that could be percieved as insulting.

It looks like you're saying that if a person doesn't complain about EVERYTHING that might potentially bother someone at some time, any complaint is automatically unworthy of cosideration.

To appease your desire to read about Improvised Explosive Devices, here's one.

Also, I am unsympathetic to people who are concerned with "TERRORISM" on "AMERICAN SOIL" and neglect to mention terrorism abroad, sometimes inflicted by Americans.

Since you failed to mention anything about 9/11 or the Glorious Long War Against Terrorism, the only One True Calling of Patriot Americans, I discount your entire argument.

I guess I'm a terrorist. I run interference for people being terrorized by those with nothing better to do on a Saturday morning than yell invectives at people going to see the doctor.

Oh damn! I'm doubly a terrorist! I had my beloved cat put to sleep a year ago.

Gee, I have compassion and want people to be happy and live their own lives. I suppose that's the worst kind of terrorism there is.
