    There, I've removed it. I would appreciate if you and EMFM did as well.

    EDIT: Let me make it obvious - I bear no grudge against Catholics, I know several myself. Its just that most of the misogynists I have met in teh past have also been Catholics, perhaps leaving me with the wrong impression of the church. I apologise to anyone who was offended... I really do feel bad about it.
    You also live in Australia where Roman Catholicism is the largest religious denomination. I'm sure that you've met a number of Catholics who are egalitarian crusaders.

    26.48% not dominating and it is eclipsed by all the mainstream Protestant groups so ya. Dude its a joke. I'm surprised after the way you make fun of some foreign countries you cant take a little catholic joke.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Let us all resolve to always insert some indication of our joking intention when we mean no harm. A smilie, 'j/k', [/joke], something to distinguish our humorous intent from a group-bash.

    This text-based environment, where we can't see tongues-in-cheek, or facial expressions or body language, demands it.

    I'm sure all here agree.

    This ends today's public service announcement.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Does that make my claim illegitimate? When I said that Roman Catholicism was the largest denomination was I wrong? It means that you are statistically more likely to meet a Catholic throughout Australia than a member of ANY other individual religious denomination. Classing protestants together is also convenient if you neglect the reality that many "Protestant" denominations are more different from one another than Episcolalians/Anglicans and Lutherans are different from Roman Catholics.
