Obama's War on Religion Will Unite His GOP Opposition

Good will always win over evil. The atheist-left will continue to preach their tune

....but there is no resolve or absolution in their lives.

I cannot imagine such emptyness!

I would say by the time this thing is all over (which I don't believe will be any time soon), Catholics everywhere will not acknowledge ANYTHING that comes out of the Obama Administration, or even the Democrat Party.

Catholic leaders are demanding an apology from Ms. Arianna Huffington, President and Editor in Chief, Huffington Post Media Group with regards to the latest diatribe coming from the pie hole of Larry Doyle, reporter of that media group.

An excerpt of that letter presents why:

When you started The Huffington Post in 2005, you opened your new Internet venture with a pledge, as quoted by Newsweek: “If you’re looking for the usual flame-throwing, name-calling, and simplistic attack dog rhetoric....don’t bother coming to The Huffington Post.” But Larry Doyle’s recent anti Catholic screed in the Huffington Post, The Jesus-Eating Cult of Rick Santorum, is bigoted and unacceptable, and a perfect

example of “flame-throwing, name-calling, and simplistic attack dog rhetoric.” His column should be taken off your site, and you should issue an apology for ever publishing such trash.

As we stated in February of 2011, (“AOL News Has Lost Its Mind with HuffPo Buyout”), AOL was foolish to buy The Huffington Post, presuming that it would be anything less than a “hate-filled, vicious, radically left-wing rag.” Doyle’s column is the latest in a long line of such content. In answer to online reader outrage over his distasteful column, Doyle responds

that it was all a joke. Intelligent readers and the millions of faithful Catholics who come into contact with this piece don’t buy such equivocating nonsense for a minute. Bigots

like Doyle think they can hurl the most contemptible insults towards Catholics ("Jesus eaters") and when called out, claim it was just a joke. What cowardice. What a double standard. If such an article was written concerning the Islamic or Jewish faith, the public outcry would be overwhelming, and rightly so. But anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable form of bigotry, and The Huffington Post is taking advantage of that bigotry for all it’s worth. The Obama administration’s recent mandate forcing religious institutions to provide insurance which violates their most sacred teachings is the outgrowth of a media, including The Huffington Post, complicit in the persecution of religion. Timothy Cardinal Dolan has called this mandate an unprecedented attack on conscience. You should be covering such attacks on religion in this country, not fomenting more persecution and bigotry. The double standard is clear for all to see. Media outlets like The Huffington Post

are ignoring the attack on the religion, but promoting bigots like Doyle who despise Catholics and others who practice traditional Judeo Christian faiths. That makes you complicit in bigotry.

....reminds me of the lyrics of a song: "I'm digging a hole, and I can't get out"!

What a joke.

"Making a moral wrong free of cost doesn't make it a moral right."

It also doesn't make it a moral wrong in the first place, especially for those employee's of faith-based organizations that don't share the faith of their organization, which is commn in schools, hospital's, etc. It's also not a moral wrong belonging to any church if someone they employ "sins" with the benefits they are given in exchange for their work. It's not the monk's sin when he brews beer that people debauch themselves with. But keep trying to work up salivating culture-war one-issue voters with this fallacious nonsense.

Bing:

"He brought up Islam around the globe. I responded to that, you responded to me.."

Sorry, but you were the one who mentioned international Muslims first:

" What about the Pubs war on religion? Specifically, Islam"

""but the majority of Muslims on the globe are just like you. They just want to live their lives."

Note the absence of the qualifier "American" in your first quote from your very first post, and the specifier in the second. Sorry, try again.

"Bottom line, Supreme Court says there is a separation between church and state. Perhaps decided by a "liberal" court, but no more activist than the conservative court we have now. If the Pubs believe the Feds cannot mandate churches to provide contraceptive coverage, does that not mean they do believe in separation of church and state?"

Yes, they do indeed believe in a separation of church and state - but that is NOT what is stated in Article 1 of the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution. It states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,..........."

The argument that the conservatives (and surprisingly, quite a few commentators whom would label themselves Liberal) make is that the Obama mandate tramples on "the free exercise thereof" by the Catholic Church since it forces them to offer insurance policies that HAVE to contain a provision that Rome disagrees with vehemently. Obama's "compromise" is nothing of the such - the mandate is still there.

Whether or not some large percentage of Catholics actually use contraceptives already is irrelevant - that is something that they as individuals have made a choice about, and has nothing to do with what the religion as an institution preaches.

"I might add there are many types of Muslims, just like there are many types of Christians. Mormonism is a Christian based religion, but seems to be a stickler for the Christian right."

Correct, and in all religions are good practitioners, as well as whackos - these are human beings, after all, with all their warts.

What cannot be disputed, however, is that ONLY Islam and, most importantly, its leaders, constantly and loudly preach that infadels shall be killed (the many exerpts from the Koran posted earlier make it rather hard to argue otherwise), and ONLY Islam has massive uprisings worldwide calling for assassinations and killings when there is a perceived "insult" to Islam or Mohammed. Yes, there are many far right "christians" to whom "tolerance" of other religions and thought processes seems to be foreign, but it is wildly off-base to claim any sort of equivalency.

As far as Obama's "war on religion", I wouldn't really call it that as much as it exposes his contempt and willingness to do as he pleases "for our own good".

"MSM? I don't know what that is."

Have you been living in a cave somewhere? Main Stream Media - ie - NY Times, LA Times, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CBS, etc, etc, - all blatant shills for the Left.
