All culture arises out of religion. When religious faith decays, culture must decline, though often seeming to flourish for a space of time after the religion which has nourished it has fallen into disbelief... no cultured person should remain indifferent to the erosion of apprehension of the transcendent.'

Lesbian Teacher Fired from Catholic School

This story is fairly common... lesbian teacher takes job at Catholic school... brags about orientation... gets canned... gets lawyer... big media blah-blah.

It was the comment section that really got my attention.  Surprisingly (or not), many of the comments are really anti-Catholic and pretty darn nasty.  Although, I have to admit that some of them were kind of amusing.


My favorite:


"Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... yeah, makes perfect sense."

At least this one was creative... but the hatred of the Church and the Truth that is present in the hearts of these people should be a clear sign of the intrinsic disorder in their lives.  I wish that such people could see that true source of hatred lies not in the Church, but in their hearts.
