“YOU ARE FORBIDDEN TO INSULT RELIGION”
“the moment you limit free speech, it’s not free speech.” – Salman Rushdie
Dear Pope,
You seemed like a nice guy.
But why aren’t your own private beliefs and prayers enough for you? Nobody has threatened your right to your religion (except for Islam) and nobody should. Is your god so fragile he cannot withstand jokes? You should be embarrassed defending such a wimpy god. Is the Creator of Humor afraid of His creation?
You don’t have the right to impose your religious ideas on us.
Meanwhile, you excuse yourself from our laws.
Why are you obstructing justice? Why are you denying access to the pedophilia files in the Vatican? Why have you been hiding Cardinal Bernie Law, the kingpin of the Boston pedophile network in a special suite at the Vatican?
How dare a a religious person deny free speech to anyone or rope off his own actions as above reproach. That is worse than rude of you.
You are begging for the ridicule you say you don’t want.
Today Religion comes with a smiley face – tamed by secularism.
We won’t soon forget how it behaved when it was strong.
– A Friendly Atheist
And where exactly did Pope francis say”You Have No Right to Insult Religion” or “You are forbidden to insult religion” – the two claims you are making here?

“You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit. Every religion has its dignity.”
Yet this same Pope promotes hatred of other religions:
“Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.” (2 Thessalonians 3:6)
“If anyone does not love the Lord, let that person be cursed!” (1 Corinthians 16:22)
Religion does not deserve respect!
It deserves to be abandoned for the totalitarian nonsense that it is.
