(42,641 posts)Arpaio would not have been pardoned. And this is the religion group. If a prominent non-theist denounces the pardon I suggest you post that in the Atheist group.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)FFS, you lecture everyone else about not properly repeating your claims, and you go and do shit like this. No wonder nobody takes you seriously.

(42,641 posts)Is this an appointed or elected office?
trotsky
(49,533 posts)You blatantly twisted what I said. Admit you were wrong, and apologize.
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)I twisted nothing. I simply asked a question about your own words.

(33,982 posts)as an Atheist I cannot possibly have a basis for morality.
You gonna sit there and say something like that to an atheist with a straight face like nobody is going to get pissed off about it?

(49,533 posts)"Effective immediately, I have informed Cardinal Mahony that he will no longer have any administrative or public duties," Gomez said in a letter Thursday.
He cited Mahony's alleged failures to protect young people from sexually abusive priests -- documented in court filings in recent years -- as grounds for the decision, in church terms, to bar the cardinal from any future public activities in the Los Angeles archdiocese.
Clearly an expert on morality.

(146,308 posts)Am I supposed to now congratulate the Cardinal? I think not. I have seen other things that the Cardinal has done, which I also find disgusting.
I'm glad he feels that way, but it's a matter of no serious importance to me, nor does it obviate his other disgusting behavior.
