Reply #23: "The all out assault on Muslims and their faith...." [View All]

[Deep13]

Once again, no one is "assaulting" Catholics. The OP is criticizing ONE Catholic and the governance of that church. When we were critical of Bush, does that mean we hated all Americans? No. As far as criticisms of Islam or Catholicism as ideas, they are as fair as any criticisms of any ideas. You assume that religion is off limits for criticism, but neither you nor anyone else has ever given a real reason for that. As a nonreligious person, I have no duty to accept the validity of any religious claim without sufficient evidence. The fact that you bristle at the idea tells me that on some level you don't really believe in Catholicism either.

Catholics =/= Catholicism
