Asymmetric Religion and Philosophy

It's better to be loved than hated. This is only true if you're loved and hated for the correct reasons.

Conversely, it's better to be hated than loved if one is hated unjustly and doesn't truly merit love.

I take great pride in my Catholic faith when somebody, in order to attack it, has to lie. Such is the case with Penn and Teller's show on the Vatican. The funny thing is that there are some legitimate, if less dramatic, criticisms they could have made. Instead, they went for the conspiracy theorist, "all evil flows from..." angle.

Bill Donohue has a response here. I plan on asking for a rebuke of lies (only) from CBS representative Nancy Tellem: nancy.tellem@tvc.cbs.com

I don't have time to go over the show, but let me just rebut one: the Church has saved millions of lives in Africa because of her teachings on condoms and chastity.
