Nothing spreads holiday cheer quite like religious intolerance

In a special Christmas eve address Pope Ratzinger takes time to remind the faithful and hellbound heretics alike that both Yahweh and his only child Republican Jesus hate teh gay. The aging ex Nazi Pontiff also added that nothing threatens world peace quite like reproductive freedom:

Daily News — Pope Benedict used his annual Christmas message to denounce gay marriage, saying that it destroyed the “essence of the human creature.” In one of his most important speeches of the year, the Pope stressed that a person’s gender identity is God-given and unchangeable. As a result, he sees gay marriage as a “manipulation of nature.”

“People dispute the idea that they have a nature, given to them by their bodily identity, that serves as a defining element of the human being,” he said at the Vatican on Friday. “They deny their nature and decide that it is not something previously given to them, but that they make it for themselves.” The Pope has said that gay marriage, like abortion and euthanasia, is a threat to world peace.

Yes! It’s not insatiable greed or arms merchants or fundamentalist lunatics or hunger causing good-hearted noble men of honor to fight to the death — it’s a world full of slutty bitches! What else would you expect? They’re just following in Eve’s footsteps …

I guess those times where Yahweh fucked up and created a male and female parts in the same person should just be …what? Ignored? I have no idea and neither does Pope Ratfucker, but that’s no reason to ruin a good Christmas hate.

"They deny their nature and decide that it is not something previously given to them, but that they make it for themselves."

We know that being gay is a genetic trait.

Is that why he covered for all those filthy pedophile priests? Should he be considered complicit in that which society considers crimes because he believes that God imbued them with that nature?

"People dispute the idea that they have a nature, given to them by their bodily identity, that serves as a defining element of the human being"

You mean like opposing that nature, that bodily identity, in order to remain celibate for life?

What a horrible, rotten institution. Still hard to believe there are progressives who choose to give it their time and money.
