Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on
Saturday’s “Reason Rally” in Washington,
D.C. attended by atheists:
It is impossible for atheists to have a rally without bashing people of faith.
They especially loathe Christians, and no group gets them jacked up more than
Roman Catholics. Saturday’s rally was no exception.
Although atheists claim that people of faith brainwash kids, it is they who are
the masters. “Hey Kids,” one of the signs read, “It’s Okay—GOD is PRETEND.”
Being vulgar comes natural to them: “Religion is Like a Penis,” one sign read,
“It’s OK to have one…But it is NOT OK to whip it out in public, shove it in my
face, or tell me what to do because you have one….” Then there was the gal who
held a sign demanding that adherents of the three monotheistic religions “Get
Out of My Panties.”
They got specific with signs such as “So many Christians, so few lions.” There
was a man dressed as Jesus riding an inflatable dinosaur; another man held a
large wooden cross with a mask of “The Joker” on top. They really got specific
when Australian songwriter Tim Minchin thrilled the crowd with “The Pope Song.”
Here are some of the lyrics: “I don’t give a f*** if calling the pope a
motherf***er means…You see I don’t give a f*** what any other motherf***er
believes about Jesus and his motherf***ing mother.”
The big draw was Englishman Richard Dawkins. He implored the crowd to “ridicule
and show contempt” for people of faith. “Mock them, ridicule them in public,”
he bellowed. Especially Catholics. Dawkins not only mocked the Eucharist, he
advised the crowd to ask Catholics, “Do you really believe…that when a priest
blesses a wafer, it turns into the body of Christ?”
Catholics take note: The fact that the atheists always attack us more than any
other religious group is a backhanded compliment. They know who the real enemy
of hate is, and who they must defeat. They don’t have a prayer.
