creed of reason
If it needs no punctuation marks, it’s because all the distressing details are intimately connected.
The reason why praising “Pope” Joseph Ratzinger for finally tolerating condom use when trying to reduce the risk of infection (but not to fight AIDS and other STDs) sounds conspicuously like praising “Dear Leader” Kim Jong-il for finally pardoning two U.S. journalists sentenced to twelve years of hard labor for having inadvertently crossed the border while investigating the routes of human trafficking and slave labor is precisely because the Catholic Church and the Korean Workers’ Party are both autocratic totalitarian regimes holding innumerous people hostage to an evil and barbarous ideology that has no place in any part of the world that aspires to call itself civilized.
If you have something valuable to add or some interesting point to discuss, I’ll be looking forward to meeting you at Mastodon!
