At Mon Apr 16, 2012, 11:03 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

God to the Pope: Yeah, I'm gonna have to talk to this fool.

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

anti catholic bigotry

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 16, 2012, 11:07 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Where would DU be without anti-Catholic bigotry? If you're not hating Catholics just because of what they believe, you're not a liberal, now are you? While I'd love to hide this bullshit, I have to accept that similar stuff doesn't get hidden, so I can't vote to do so here. I do enjoy watching the same anti-Catholic folks get their panties in a bunch over insults Islam, however.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: A Bors cartoon? Alerted? Give me a break.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I think the alerter is a little confused as to what the word "bigotry" means...
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I would have voted the same way.

(Practicing Roman Catholic here.)

There is nothing wrong with posting a comic pointing out the poster's views.

They just seem a little off base, even though I support their vote.

ANY published word or image that is critical of Catholicism or their pope is "anti-Catholic bigotry."

It's the same defense mechanism that used to bring out the rope and kindling whenever an opposing thought manifested itself.

constantly tell us that the whack job right-wing of Christianity does not represent them and is, in a lot of cases, not the true Christians. But an atheist posts a cartoon making the point that the right-wing of Christianity is whack-a-doodle, and people go off their rocker.

I mean, do people actually think that god gives a shit about what the cartoon is talking about?

of the Catholic church, and the church heirarchy covers it up, then eposing, publicizing the abuse is bigotry. Got it.
