62. As expected, you fling poo and call people "despicable"

and then run and hide when challenged to back up your crap. That seems to be endemic among the religionists on this board, despite their self-righteousness about "civility".

And my "rant" as you so condescendingly and combatively call it, wouldn't need to be "rote" if the RCC's policies weren't the same knee-jerk mantra forever, immune to evidence, argument or truth. As long as they keep pursuing the exact same disgraceful policies, the exact same criticism is warranted. As far as any alleged "condescension" on my part, how do you suggest that an organization that denies categorically that condoms can prevent AIDS be treated?
