Very nice. I like it when I go to Mass in the spring and there are children there making their first communion. They and their parents are always so proud and happy. It's a joyous occasion.<br /><br />I'm guessing gayatheist has suffered some great hurt to make him/her so angry. <br /><br />Reading the comments by gayatheist was rough, but tomorrow many of us will go to Mass and receive Communion. We will be surrounded by all that is lovely, pure, real, eternal, and precious. The Church is a ROCK, and gayatheist and those like him (or her) cannot turn it into sand.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173616693453942166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-56291080190788170542011-09-03T16:03:11.564-07:002011-09-03T16:03:11.564-07:00This just makes me sad.

Just like some Catholics who judge and condemn give people like us a bad name. <br /><br />I'm thankful that for the most part, people on this blog, whether Christian or not, have at least been respectful even in disagreement. Gayatheist is obviously very angry and bitter like you've said. He just wanted to come over here to spew his venom. <br /><br />I think how you and Nubby responded was necessary, seeing that it was only he that was being vicious, and for once, we were able to fight back enough to at least get him off the blog for a while. (I say "we" because we support you, even though I know it was only you and Nubby doing the fighting.) I think both of your arguments and come-backs were very well said and intelligent. <br /><br />On a side note (and maybe a crabby note too, because it's 4 in the morning and my toddler has kept me up for 4 hours which is why I'm on the internet of all times), I hope that commenters like Gayatheiest who doesn't know how to argue his points but still refrain from the rudeness and name-calling (and swearing too--these *** aren't exactly hard to figure out)will be kept from commenting. The name calling, the hatred, and just the evil that they bring with them is why I stay away from the atheist blogs in the first place. <br /><br />Other than that, I think it was a necessary battle, especially considering what Stacy is going through.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451590537173713861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-14848433523217573712011-09-02T21:11:22.967-07:002011-09-02T21:11:22.967-07:00Thank you, KC.

I am simply stunned from two days of watching the atheist crowd attack Stacy and other people of faith, saying the ugliest, stupidest, nastiest nad most unfounded things. I never have encountered a mass of people so truly ill-mannered and vicious, and so I have been in fight mode because of it. I feel very maternal, wondering where all these folks parents are? How were they raised? <br /><br />Clearly there are kind and good atheists out there, but they are outnumbered in my experience of the last few days. What a dark and sad world they live in. So joyless and restless and angry.<br /><br />I think I've been hanging around them too long.<br /><br />So, apologies! <br /><br />But, I am very interested in exposing their radical and very frightening, bigoted and totalitarian ideas to the public, who largely remain ignorant of what they say amongst themselves. <br /><br />I have been learning a lot.Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-73770195213525560612011-09-02T17:49:29.109-07:002011-09-02T17:49:29.109-07:00Ha- have a quick wiki read, gayatheist.

He also says that almost 85% of Europe's total population growth in 2005 was due to immigration in general.[19][21] Omer Taspinar predicts that the Muslim population of Europe will nearly double by 2015, while the non-Muslim will shrink by 3.5%, due to the higher Muslim birth rate.[22] Esther Pan predicts that, by 2050, one in five Europeans are likely to be Muslim.[22][23]<br /> <br />Professor Philip Jenkins of Penn State University estimates that by 2100, Muslims will compose about 25% of Europe's population. But Jenkins admits this figure does not take account of the large birthrates amongst Europe's immigrant Christians.[24]Nubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972118374098863290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-27195813086331654982011-09-02T17:36:03.179-07:002011-09-02T17:36:03.179-07:00Still waiting for that list of all things "va...Still waiting for that list of all things "valuable" and true that gayatheist thinks kids should just absorb through osmosis and not from any helpful adults.Nubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972118374098863290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-15300492154295434152011-09-02T17:32:58.959-07:002011-09-02T17:32:58.959-07:00By the way, gayatheist, you cannot keep your '...By the way, gayatheist, you cannot keep your 'values' private. I take it you don't have kids.<br /><br />Only the truly clueless about kids would espouse that. Once you bring kids into this world, you don't shut them away, keeping their values private. You teach them that those values are indeed important enough to be shared and lived out, I don't care if you're Catholic, Muslim, atheist, whatever. <br /><br />Kids aren't raised with values to be hidden. How else would a person even interact with the world around them without a strong sense of what they believe and why?<br /><br />And to your logic, you won't be raising them to believe much. According to you, you'd rather leave them bobbing helplessly in the water until they go belly up because you failed in your parenting duty to raise them to know anything about anything because it was "up to the child" to learn. <br /><br />Niiiice.Nubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972118374098863290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-47146286925495014642011-09-02T17:30:16.692-07:002011-09-02T17:30:16.692-07:00Did you just say Islam is dying in England?

However, there are many ex-Muslims escaping the horrendous religions. Therefore it is dying and this will backed up by the census results due soon here.<br /><br />As for your previous question, which I haven't had chance to answer due to Leila verbal diarrhoea, there is nothing wrong instilling values on to kids. However, beliefs are personal. Religious ones especially shouldn't be forced. If you give kids the facts allow them to make their own choices and not those of their parents. <br /><br />AS for representing atheists, we are individuals who share a non-belief in the stupid idea of "god". We may share other views, but there is no bible, doctrines, etc. Simple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-18264891129520231812011-09-02T17:22:06.342-07:002011-09-02T17:22:06.342-07:00gayatheist, were you cheering on the rioters in pe...gayatheist, were you cheering on the rioters in peaceful, secular London?
