What the hell are you protesting on World Youth Day?

So, the World Youth Day is held in Sydney in Australia this week. While it is meant to be a week of "bringing together young people from around the globe to celebrate and learn about their faith", there are some who would hijack the event to highlight their dissatisfaction with the religion.

I understand some of their concerns, like clergy who abused little boys. I think they are just sick bastards. But then there are those who protest because Roman Catholic does not allow birth contraceptives, or the church has a certain view towards a certain group of people. To these protestors, I would say, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

For one, no one is pointing a gun at you and forced you to join the religion. If you don't like the way it is run, start your own religion and stop whining about someone elses'. Protesting against Roman Catholic's take on condoms is like protesting against Hindu for not eating beef, or protesting against Islam for praying so many times during the day, or protesting against Buddist because all the monks have shave their heads.

Each religion has its own sets of doctrine. If you don't like it, don't believe in it. No one is forcing you to believe what you don't believe in. And no one is stopping you from stop believing what you believed in.

And what's the rationale behind blaming the Pope for his "teachings [that] contributed to 67,000 women dying every year from backyard abortions and a suicide rate among gay youth that is seven times the average."? You might as well blame teenage pregnancy on the Pope. Oh, how about the food shortage? Because you know, everyone is fighting for food to feed those who would not normally be born if they were using condoms. Ms Evans, you are an idiot.

If you are not prepared to be parents, don't fuck in the first place. If you do, bear the consequences.

Every person has the right to protest, I respect that. But for God's sake, protest against something more meaningful, like Michael Jackson cleric who like little boys. You are not doing anything constructive by protesting, unless of course, you work for a condom company.
