The Morally Challenged Vatican

My parents wonder why I will refuse to baptise my child. This is one reason.

I don't know if God exists or not, but I am certain that if He does exist, these clowns do not speak for him.

I don't have a problem with religion or with religious people, but I do have a problem with blind devotion to a corrupt and morally bankrupt church.

They look the other way when members of their organization abuse their positions of power and trust to rape children.

They kiss the ring of Saddam's catholic mouthpiece and try to obstruct military action to end his tyranny, bloodshed, and oppression.

The looked the other way when Nazis rounded up Jews.

All this is ok, I guess, as long as we keep women off the pulpit and gays out of the church.

UPDATE: That last part was sarcasm.
