You were lucky - a ridiculous hide. There again, not unusual in this Group. mr blur Jul 2014 #39

Lucky? You think hiding a chronically disruptive poster's post is luck? rug Jul 2014 #42

Oh, that New Atheist thread got under your skin, didn't it. rug Jul 2014 #5

For myself, not under the skin, that is so dramatic - just a bit of fun. djean111 Jul 2014 #7

Yes, that's the first word that comes to mind when I read the OP. rug Jul 2014 #18

lol! hrmjustin Jul 2014 #9

Plain word subsitution role-reversal getting under yours? AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #37

If that sentence made any sense I could give you an answer. rug Jul 2014 #44

Sorry, making you understand plain english is not one of my super powers. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #45

Apparently, neither is basic grammar. rug Jul 2014 #47

Add a comma after 'idea', if that helps you. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #48

It doesn't. It needs much more than punctuation, British or otherwise. rug Jul 2014 #49

The OP is a word-substitution paraphrase of another thread that you identified. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #51

Oh, a copycat. rug Jul 2014 #52

Which one? AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #53

Which reply of his? rug Jul 2014 #54

I specified twice that you correctly identified the OP template. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #55

This one by far. rug Jul 2014 #56

Then why bring up something I explicitly ackowledged was correct, as if I didn't know? AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #57

I leave the rolling around on the floor to you. rug Jul 2014 #72

Yes. A bigot. With verse and scripture to justify it. djean111 Jul 2014 #6

I'll put the total down as 3-0 skepticscott Jul 2014 #8

I don't see him changing church doctrine in his lifetime which is a disappointment. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #10

So you agree that he's a bigot skepticscott Jul 2014 #11

Unlike the moral courage you exhibit by posting anonymous flamebait on the internet. rug Jul 2014 #14

I don't think he is personally but I think the church is wrong on the issue. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #15

He holds bigoted stances on gays and Htom Sirveaux Jul 2014 #12

I don't think it's productive. Htom Sirveaux Jul 2014 #19

So you think that all of the people skepticscott Jul 2014 #20

Chill. Don't bully people. 840high Jul 2014 #21

Bully? Seriously? skepticscott Jul 2014 #23

He couldn't have been more exact if he measured your inseam. rug Jul 2014 #25

I wonder if you've even seen real blowback AlbertCat Jul 2014 #61

That's likely because they don't trust your hands. rug Jul 2014 #63

You really should edit your post. rug Jul 2014 #67

I'm going to wait for the outcome of the bishops' conference okasha Jul 2014 #59

Before he became pope, this self-important mammal declared the SSM movement in AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #38

Worth noting is that his most tolerant statement to date on homosexuality... trotsky Jul 2014 #50

That isn't bigoted?? AlbertCat Jul 2014 #69

It's well-established that he is. trotsky Jul 2014 #41

Which is precisely why he's wrong on this issue. rug Jul 2014 #43

Francis is not "self-styled", he was chosen/elected. And yes, he is a bigot. cleanhippie Jul 2014 #46

Yes Tetris_Iguana Jul 2014 #58

You're goddam right he is. Iggo Jul 2014 #70

This thread is a perfect example of why people who actually might want to discuss religion Fortinbras Armstrong Jul 2014 #73

Does that explain why you're here? n/t trotsky Jul 2014 #74

It more explains why you're here. rug Jul 2014 #75

This thread was in direct response to, and a parody of a shit stirring flamebait OP similarly titled Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #76

Right. You were simply being funny Fortinbras Armstrong Jul 2014 #82

Can you demonstrate how the Pope isn't a homophobe? n/t Humanist_Activist Jul 2014 #84

That homophobic bigot called same sex families an attack on God, same sex marriage... Humanist_Activist Jul 2014 #87

No, the "dislike of atheistic bigotry" non-canard. Fortinbras Armstrong Jul 2014 #91

Hell yeah he is! MellowDem Jul 2014 #78

Your opinion has no reasoning to back it up... rug Jul 2014 #79

It's common knowledge that the Pope... MellowDem Jul 2014 #80

No, it's not common knowledge at all. It is a common opinion in some self-selected groups. rug Jul 2014 #81

I'm sorry, are the Popes words up for interpretation now? Humanist_Activist Jul 2014 #83
