Then, I posted it to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/examiner\/x-8928-Philadelphia-Atheism-Examiner~y2010m4d22-South-Park-Warns-Muslim-to-Back-Off\" target=\"_blank\">Examiner page<\/a> instead. So now I can talk about how ridiculous the Muslims are and the Catholics. Both religions are now feeling to the heat from the mainstream religious-ass-kissing media.<\/p>\n<p>The media generally treats religion with reverence even when religious individuals or groups do morally indefensible things. But lately, the media has been taking a more critical tone with the Catholic Church and Islam.<\/p>\n<p>This whole South Park controversy has gotten the media to step up against Islam while using South Park as a shield. The media isn\u2019t attacking Islam, South Park is and the little old media is just covering the story. Unfortunately, Islam is too powerful right now. However, since the Muslim religion has little to no power in America, that fight is more a European battle for the time being and outraging Americans isn\u2019t going to help much. This may be a wake up call to Europe though. We\u2019ll have to see.<\/p>\n<p>The Catholic Church however is really on the run. They might actually lose this fight. When the media started to report all of the sexual abuse and the related cover-ups, most people thought that the Church was too powerful to be held accountable. They still may be, but one thing is certain, they are not nearly as powerful as they were.<\/p>\n<p>I think one of the reasons why the Catholic Church might be losing this one is because they didn\u2019t take it seriously early along. They really thought God had their back and they horribly miss-managed he situation. Instead of being humble, admitting the problem, and being open to the media and the authorities they decided to blame everyone else including the media. That just makes the media double down and people suspicious about what the Church is hiding and who they are really protecting.<\/p>\n<p>It is becoming more and more obvious to the general public (Catholics included) that the Church is more about the money and protecting themselves than doing what is just and right.<\/p>\n<p>The Pope still doesn\u2019t realize it yet, but the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/group.php?gid=108279719193747\" target=\"_blank\">world is coming<\/a> for him. The Catholic Church is going down. Islam might take awhile longer.<br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br \/>\n<a onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=dangeroustalk\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" \/><\/a><script src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js?pub=dangeroustalk\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=989\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 317364;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I wrote a great blog for today\u2019s Dangerous Talk continuing the whole South Park controversy.
