Well... you tell me: does the Catholic Church teach that
Atheists lack all
morals?  That they'll all steal where a religious person
wouldn't?

If so, then - yeah.  Fuck the Catholics as well.  ;^)

Ha!  Well ... I don't know what the Pope would say, but a
Catholic
acquaintance of mine will no longer talk to an atheist
friend of mine
for that exact reason.

My Catholic friends just bristle at an openly atheist
person; well, at
first they display real or feigned pity, then they bristle
once the
arguments get on the table.  Pretty fun stuff

yup

yup. But, and here's the truly interesting bit, apparently,
without
religion people are capable--nay--compelled to commit the
most heinous
acts of violence and debauchery.

Truly, truly wonderful this religion thing, keeping all
those would be
rapists, murderers and adulterers in check like that.

Though as a atheist, I've ne'er felt compelled to do much of
anything bad.

hrmm.
