Fuck you, foulmouthedb!
Usually I agree with most of the stuff on childfree. Okay, so there are the occasional posts along the lines of "Pregnant women should just suck it up instead of whining!" and "All children should be kept at home until they're 18!" that I don't always agree with, but hey, they're appropriate subject matter for the community, and everyone is entitled to their opinion.
This post, however, is somewhat different. It's someone whining incessantly about how the new German pope sucks and how lukewarm Catholics are all hypocrites and "chickenshits." I have a special hatred for this idiot because my fiance happens to be one of those "chickenshit" Catholics. First of all, it's really great to see someone who obviously doesn't understand that religion isn't static, but changes over time trying to explicitly define what constitutes a good Catholic. Way to tell others how to practice their religion, pal. I really think she missed the logic train on this one: there's a clear difference between hypocrisy and thinking for yourself. I agree that there are lots of hypocritical Catholics out there, and that the Catholic church really needs to change its stance on things, but people of all religions and all walks of life are hypocritical in some way; why single out Catholics? Oh, that's right, because they're an easy target.
Second, and most importantly, what the fuck does this have to do with being childfree? This is clearly an argument about religion that doesn't pertain to the community except for the fact that the Catholic church has always been anti-birth control. But really, this dumb bitch is using that as a flimsy pretext to do some serious Catholic-bashing. Save it for your journal, sweetie. Lastly, I'm not even going to comment on that Confederate flag she's got as her icon: I preffer to leave symbols for the symbol-minded.
