Way to go, Venezuelan catholic church!. By not condemning shit like this you are digging your own grave. You are  openly cooperating with an emerging dictatorship because it serves your own goals: domination and submission of people that does not know better because they are being push down back into ignorance. It is pope Pius and Hitler all over again. If you are a catholic and support this crap you totally deserve what is coming. Unfortunately those assholes will not burn in hell because it just does not exist in the “afterlife”.

People of faith often claim that the crimes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were the inevitable product of unbelief. The problem with fascism and communism, however, is not that they are too critical of religion; the problem is that they are too much like religions. Such regimes are dogmatic to the core and generally give rise to personality cults that are indistinguishable from cults of religious hero worship. Auschwitz, the gulag and the killing fields were not examples of what happens when human beings reject religious dogma; they are examples of political, racial and nationalistic dogma run amok. There is no society in human history that ever suffered because its people became too reasonable.

youtube user amigo21189 hits the nail on the head for me.

More religious insanity!

Reading up on Westboro Baptist Church, I discovered that they basically hate The Netherlands the most of all the countries. It brought up a lot of patriotic feelings.

Religion is taught.

“You just have to look at what the churches have their money tied up in”

very true.  As a recovering ex-Jehovah’s Witness, I know for a fact that the Watchtower Society has plenty of investments in the stock market to supplement the donations they receive.  But since they are a religious institution, they are tax-exempt.  But if you or I dabble in the stock market, we have to answer to the taxman.  I don’t get it.

BTW, love your site.  you’re doing a great service here.  Keep it going.
