Happens right here on DU.

Happens right here on DU.
That's a good thing, isn't it?

(22,340 posts)13. Do you agree with the politics of the RCC?
Seriously? Like their stand in women's rights? Reproductive rights? LGBTQ issues? Findings in Africa?
Have you completely given up your militant atheist facade?

(6,498 posts)16. I don't understand what you mean by this.
Have you completely given up your militant atheist facade?
Do you see atheism as being based on hate?
And militant atheists just as atheists who are militant about their atheistic hate?
That's a myth, you know.
There are folks right here in this forum who also claim that we burn churches.
Some of them even claim to be atheists themselves.
But those aren't true atheists.
Those are true trolls, however.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)16. That's right, the bigotry of the RCC is something we need to address.
I mean, teaching homosexuals that they are "inherently disordered" is horribly bigoted, I think. Do you agree?

...
And there are a lot of people in this room tonight who themselves, or their parents or grandparents, came here as immigrants, made a life for yourselves, took advantage of the American dream and the greatest system that has ever been created in the history of the world to unleash the individual talents and energy and ambition of everyone willing to work hard.
And when I think about what Al Smith went through its important to just reflect how groundbreaking it was for him, a Catholic, to be my partys nominee for president. Dont forget school boards sent home letters with children saying that if Al Smith is elected president you will not be allowed to have or read a Bible. Voters were told that he would annul Protestant marriages.
And I saw a story recently that said people even claimed the Holland Tunnel was a secret passageway to connect Rome and America, to help the Pope rule our country.
Those appeals, appeals to fear and division, can cause us to treat each other as the Other. Rhetoric like that makes it harder for us to see each other, to respect each other, to listen to each other. And certainly a lot harder to love our neighbor as ourselves.

I'm amazed that there are people who are going to vote for Donald Trump.
