18. Doesn't the Pope have some heretics to burn, or like, a Crusade to go on?

Oh, yeah, they can't get away with that kind of stuff anymore.

So hating LGBT's and lying about same sex marriage is the convenient way to vent their need for engaging in their "intrinsically evil practices" these days.

I bet they really long for the good old days when they ruled Europe, and church law was the law of the land, back when they could could burn witches and heretics whenever they felt like it, and go on Crusades to kill dark skinned folks, and burn and rape their women and children while stealing their property in order to give it to the "church".




People can believe what they want to believe. That's fine. When people start taking away the natural rights of others, and causing unwarranted harm to others, because of their beliefs, that is not fine. It's evil. This is why separation of church and state is so absolutely critical to human freedom and liberty.
