		<description>&quot;The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.&quot;

Albert Einstein 


&quot;In religion and politics people&#039;s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination.&quot;  

&quot;No God and no religion can survive ridicule. No political church, no nobility, no royalty or other fraud, can face ridicule in a fair field, and live.&quot; 
 
Mark Twain</description>

		<description>For years now, I think it started when we had to become &quot;politically correct&quot;, laws were made &quot;for the good of the children.&quot; So why haven&#039;t we shut down the largest, world-wide, pedophile institution - the catholic church - for the good of the children. This is just another proof that all politicians are full of s**t. My favorite saying - You can&#039;t fire a politician, you can only fire at them.</description>

		<description>Anytime you have an organization that tells it&#039;s followers to not ask questions; you are bound to have conflict sooner, or later. 

If you were to allow human beings to have normal relationships with another, you would not see priests look for attention with alter boys. These events are happening way too often, even once is too much. There is not enough money in the world to correct what they have done. There is not much to say in their defense other than; you are no better than any other human being on this planet, and your teachings are nothing more than a bunch of hypocritical crap.

Thomas jefferson once wrote that &quot;a man who reads nothing at all, fares fare better than the man who reads news papers&quot;. Maybe he should have included religious readings into his quote, because I can not think of a worse book to read than the bible. These are haters of the regular person, haters of human sexuality, and even haters between the different factions in their own group. Also, they hate the most, are the people who confront their silliness; the atheist. Which the word atheist is a negative word, and should be the other way around. So from now own, when I address the religious person, I am calling them a term that is negative to our production on this Earth. I will call these dwellers: irresponsible, sexual deviates, irrational, antihuman, and what ever the name for a group of non listening war starting people that needs to judge themselves and not spend so much time judging others. 

If you were to embrace what is real already around you, and appreciate it for all the time it took to create by nature; then I would like to be your friend. Until then, keep your harmful beliefs to your self, and by the way; you should look up the words: belief, reality, and opinion. You will see that beliefs do not have a leg to stand on &quot;by definition of the word&quot;.</description>

		<description>Every diocese uses this strategy to stop all their nasty secrets from coming out in public trials and to protect their money.  The bishop didn&#039;t agonize over anything.  Chapter 11 is their standard legal maneuver when the detail-rich truth is about to be revealed in court.  They are protecting their secret sex lives and their roles in the sexual abuse of your chidren.  They don&#039;t care about the survivors or much about your children either.  They just want your religious business to maintain their lifestyles.  Don&#039;t be a trusting chump.  These men belong in jail for what these men and their abuser buddies did to our children.</description>

		<description>Just read 6 news stories about this online and EVERY ONE says exactly same words.  Do reporters ever go beyond press releases anymore?</description>

		<description>Chapter 11 is not supposed  to be a vehicle to &#039;hammer down claims of the abused&#039; nor is it intended to dodge responsibility for past criminal misconduct by clergy. Now that the Diocese of Wilmington has joined six other diceses that filed Chapter 11,  how many more will join the ranks in the next year or two? Besides monetary compensation, how else will Bishop Malooly fulfill his responsibility to victims  of clergy abuse within this diocese?</description>
