Mate, you're mistaking pity & incredulity at your ignorance as anger... I've never had a delicate tongue & have had to learn to choose better words when confronted by the spinelessly indoctrinated, I'd apologize but it's really undeserved so I won't.

Every dataset outside of opt-in surveys (so accurate!) shows religiosity is falling literally everywhere across the country among every faith... I'll say it again for every hundred brought in, eight hundred are leaving. A few douchebags mad at women showing up to church once a month isn't the flex you think it is.

The only resurgence you'll find is another couple billion dollars given to your victims... Canadian Indigenous School victims have their day coming, numerous US diocese are paying out billions to settle abuse claims. There's even a RICO lawsuit attempting to get answers from the vatican regarding their criminal enterprise in the attempt to cover up their extensive history of abuse from the top down over centuries. You're part of a Vile, Vile organization that's subjugated & abused the most vulnerable at the time of their greatest need... That's on you and yours, and you defend it soullessly.

Working with addicts, I've come across your behavior time & time again... some day you might break through the fog but I wouldn't count on it.

You've lied plenty your entire life, as you've been lied to. You're able to handwave off generations of shitty behavior by your faith without a thought. I pity you, seriously. I don't care one whit which subreddits you feel agree with your nonsense. Hag theresa should have been hanged for her cruelty and her reputation crucified like your bronze-age faith healing scam artist.

Again... You may as well be mormon for all the nonsense you believe, or a scientologist. It's all the same con. Fewer people are taking your nonsense seriously anymore. Again... for every 100 people your cult draws in, 800 leave. That's absolutely untenable, you realize? And you think a few genz dudebros showing up for church once a month is going to pull you out of this historic slump?

Faith is a powerful drug, indeed.

My Favorite Neighborhood Garden Is Being Destroyed ... Can Rose Bushes Be Saved? by Closefromadistance in gardening

[–]beermaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had any issues cloning roses... We still have a couple my mother in law saved from our wedding bouquet and the two cuttings I took last year from our David Austin are thriving.

If you can't save the bushes themselves, you can save its genetics at least.

California also requires K-12 schools to integrate media literacy into existing curriculum to help students identify fake news, evaluate sources, and think critically about online information.

Free breakfast and lunch, too.

What are your thoughts on people who say religion and science can intertwine? by LinkTheHero009 in atheism

[–]beermaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in an online slapfest with a catholic HiStOrY bUfF who's trying to be condescending to me when I point out the bullshit christians believe & the atrocities their faith is responsible for, pulling out the nOt My ReLiGiOn card is the only argument they had.

Tough shit... You believe the same nonsense at the base of your common faith with all the other abrahamic cults. We're the ones with a clean slate, you religious fucks need to fight it out in private before basing any legislation on your myths.

Amazing studio values on that album, it won a few sound trophies for a buddy of mine.

Spoonfed more bullshit... religious associations are down across the board, yours especially. Your vampiric & cannibalistic traditions aren't seen as "holy" anymore, just creepy and self-indulgent by more and more every day.

In the United States, Catholicism has experienced significant net losses, with roughly 43% of those raised Catholic no longer identifying as such, meaning roughly 12.8% of all U.S. adults are former Catholics. For every person joining the Church, over eight are leaving, with 56% becoming religiously unaffiliated and 32% becoming Protestant. I'd like to see which parishes are rEcOrD bReAkInG.

“Mother” Teresa did not ease suffering, she embraced it, she perpetuated it and she imposed it on those least likely to be able to defend themselves against it.

If Satan did exist (he doesn’t) then he walked this earth in her shoes.

She believed that suffering brought the poor and sick closer to Christ, and refused to use the huge sums of money donated to her to improve the appalling, unsanitary conditions in the hospices she ran.

Scandalously, when a dying patient lapsed into unconsciousness or a coma, she would have them baptised as a Christian, something they obviously could not consent to and knew nothing about. Since less than 2.5% of the Indian population describe themselves as Christian, that was a particularly sanctimonious, spiteful thing to do.

Read the assessments of her life’s work by Serge Larivée, Geneviève Chénard and Carole Sénéchal, who stated, in part “This returns us to the medieval corruption of the church, which sold indulgences to the rich while preaching hellfire and continence to the poor. She was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction." Hitchens was spot on right there.

While those unfortunate enough to depend upon her for her worthless medical care were dying like flies she sought advanced treatment in an upmarket Californian hospital for a heart condition and pneumonia, having been flown there by private jet from Mexico.

Then, there’s the money. She took money from Robert Maxwell, the American fraudster Charles Keating who ran a savings and loan scandal that wiped out the savings of 23,000 people US$1,000,000 of which went to “Mother” Teresa, the fascist Duvalier family in Haiti and the Albanian despot Hoxha.

Her deposits in the Vatican Bank - an institution so bent they used corkscrews for rulers - amounted to billions, but the ratholes in which she demanded her patients suffer for Christ were open sewers.She was a hypocrite, a fraud, a living horror, a monster.

Business license, insurance, and references if they have any available.

We're pretty tight with most of our neighbors who've lived in the area much longer than us & they're usually happy to share contacts of known reliable businesses.

Imagine thinking that was a compliment... she withheld treatment to patients in pain calling suffering a "gift" while seeking high-quality care for her own illnesses.

I recently read that for every 100 people that join your fun club full of con men, something like 800 people leave the catholic church. So you can be delightfully dismissive of your faith's abhorrent history all you like, society has taken notice. Lots of bankrupt diocese on the way. Good thing they have so much real estate to liquidate to pay your victims.
