Look at the phrase that multiple people were offended by. What was your reason for including it? It was unnecessary and false. So why not leave it off, leave off all your snide remarks and back-handed attacks on non-belief, and see how people react?

Something revolutionary new in religion [View all] Thats my opinion Apr 2012 OP

You are correct. They survived the Jesuits, forgave Galileo, Warpy Apr 2012 #1

This is not new. It is not revolutionary. It's been seen for centuries. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #2

Indeed. Ask the Berrigans. Or the liberation theology movement. Or Dorothy Day. Warren Stupidity Apr 2012 #9

I'm curious as to why you don't even want to see what the nuns are saying? Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #47

I said nothing about the nuns. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #50

The Difference Might be That the Dissidents are Members of the Clergy or Religious Orders On the Road Apr 2012 #3

Up until the last paragraph, I'm on board with you. Then you get into a slightly dimbear Apr 2012 #4

It is not that there are those who don't want to see the nuns reforming the church, Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #40

Except that nuns are NOT reforming the church. Never have and never will. skepticscott Apr 2012 #42

Your second to last sentence, I find very offensive Angry Dragon Apr 2012 #5

As would I EvolveOrConvolve Apr 2012 #26

What I would like to see are links to back up things you state Angry Dragon Apr 2012 #20

That is what I mean.There is no support here, Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #27

Wow, really? trotsky Apr 2012 #43

I have no disrespect for theism Angry Dragon Apr 2012 #55

I have never seen any link in any of your posts Angry Dragon Apr 2012 #57

If you read through these posts, can you understand what I was talking about? Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #34

Non-theists "threatened" by religion? xfundy Apr 2012 #6

I have just posted an alternative which you ignore. Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #32

I'm getting awfully sick and tired of you referring darkstar3 Apr 2012 #52

I wonder why it's so important to you, mr blur Apr 2012 #7

Apparently we are in league with the pope. Warren Stupidity Apr 2012 #10

Damn, they found out! On to Plan B: the Mormons. nt mr blur Apr 2012 #11

Does this mean that the Catholic church will stop trying to tell non-Catholics how to live? n/t Fumesucker Apr 2012 #8

Of course not. Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #28

There you go again, taking one event and saying it's happening "all over." darkstar3 Apr 2012 #31

One event? Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #48

Have you seen how the lists you've posted elsewhere constitute a drop in the ocean? darkstar3 Apr 2012 #51

I don't like others telling me how to live based on their particular brand of what is to me delusion Fumesucker Apr 2012 #39

Why on earth would ANY "non-theist" want to "put down" an effort to further... trotsky Apr 2012 #12

I do not understand edhopper Apr 2012 #13

What is new in religion "that cannot be put down?" immoderate Apr 2012 #14

Why is it that you post these somewhat insightful posts only to poison them with falsities... Humanist_Activist Apr 2012 #18

Just say how you celebrate what is happening, and I'll take you seriously. nt Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #29

I celebrate the weakening of the power and influence of the Catholic Church... Humanist_Activist Apr 2012 #36

Revolutionary as it ever was... onager Apr 2012 #19

Twain makes me proud to have been born in Missouri. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #24

You've really displayed a confounding lack of understanding of atheism and non-believers. TransitJohn Apr 2012 #25

This is not the"atheists" group. Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #33

And if you want to find people who won't disagree with you, try a group. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #35

Might you agree that there is a difference Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #45

It's not the "agree with me about religion" group either...it's not a group at all TransitJohn Apr 2012 #44

If it is not a group, what is it? If you look under "religion" you will find the word "group" Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #46

I don't care that they winnowed down the forums on DU3...it's still the Religion Forum TransitJohn Apr 2012 #53

Actually, it *is* a Group. Says so right at the top. mr blur Apr 2012 #49

I don't care that they winnowed down the forums on DU3...it's still the Religion Forum TransitJohn Apr 2012 #54

You are correct. trotsky Apr 2012 #58

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. (sans texte) dimbear Apr 2012 #38
