I recommend the UN consider forcing all countries within its jurisdiction to become Catholic. It is the only true religion; therefore, all countries should accept it. This is an earnest request. Thank you.

Agreed

Um, how about no? People need to be allowed to worship as they please. Not everyone reads the Bible or goes to church, etc., and we shouldn't force them, either.

Have you ever heard of this:

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." -Jesus

Now would you like it if a Muslim suggested that the U.N. should consider forcing all countries within it's jurisdiction to become Muslim? How about a Buddhist? A Hindu? A practititioner of the Tsalagi(sp?) religion?

No? Then don't do the same thing to them. It's offensive and hurtful.

Remember this everyone:

National Sovereignty: It's Like That "Tolerance" Crap on a National Level

You're joking, right? Because if not, you just entered the competition for the stupidest UN proposal.

What is up with all of these people trying to force their religion down the the throats of others? Can't they at least get enough of a clue to realize the rest of us don't follow their beliefs and that their's isn't "the only true religion"? Let's not forget the others that make the same claim and have the same amount of evidence, with the same reliability, to back it up.

And while I'm at it, Catholicism isn't a religion! It's a branch, with its own denominations, of a religion.

The more I think about this, the more it must be a joke. Sadly, I suspect it is referencing what people are trying to do in other areas.

I should note I have nothing against Catholics or Catholicism, just a certain type of people that degrade all belief systems by their simply using that system in anything they say. They transcend all religions and even science, managing to provide annoyance to us all.

I'm a catholic of Italian descent. I do think that Catholicism is the one true religion considering that we are the only christians who can trace our heritage back through the bishops to the apostles and to Jesus the savior of mankind. I also believe that people should join the Roman Catholic Church but i do not believe that we should force people to join because even if they do join they would not participate and possibly even have less of a chance of eternal life with God in heaven

Screw religion, religion creates wars and it think this is the stupidest resolution ive ever heard of, nobody cares if you can trace your heritage right back to "jesus" and his apostles, whats more important is how and why you worship. Oh and another things, i dont want my people have 10 children to a family all because they cant wear condoms and they want a screw.

Right on! You give it to that silly Irish-American Fascism! Every stupid post deserves a stupid response!

*And it usually gets one, on this forum.

I am a catholic myself but your going just a little, or maybe A LOT too far there! Catholicism isnt the only true religion...and it shouldnt be enforced...Even though I am a catholic I must really disagree

You're out of order sir.....

As such, the NSUN cannot mandate a specific religion without first repealing, each in turn, the two aforementioned Resolutions. As such, given the voting block of their passage, such an attempt is doomed to fail.

Intolerance, on the other hand, never went that far with him...

Um...

No.

:sniper:

All you need for me to follow you would be for this Catholic God of yours to appear and testify in an unambiguous form. Not bloody likely.


:headbang:

No....for many reasons, too many to list here. One of which being that the head of the religion feels the need to wear a silly hat.

Catholicism to me is the best "branch" of Christianity, but like I said I dont think that it needs to be inforced...

THIS IS THE MOST IDIOTIC RESOLUTION IN THE WORLD!Believe in what u believe in.u cant force ppl to be catholic,muslim,protestant,etc..It is downright wrong.I mean look what happend in years past.The Spainards tried to convert the Indians.Did it work???Hell no.What if sum1 just came up and said"You must become a buddhist or we will kill you,your son,your brtoher,etc.?".Then, what?????

this has entered itself in the same category with the banning marriage proposal. This is so entirely stupid. Just also for your information it isn't a religion. It is a branch of a true religion........ Christianity. This is just like me saying ok lets make it to where everyone has to tattoo their entire body and pierce one thing on their body every weekend. It is taking away the basic human right to decide what you want. Hey I am a baptist let's make the whole world baptist. My people would throw me out of office. I don't think so. So stupid.

We worships how we pleases, arrrr, an' if any lubber threatens our peaceful ways we keelhauls 'em!

Even if they don't threaten, actually.

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: this is stupid...there's no way you can make a whole world be the same religion. Not gonna happen!

No, it's not going to happen. This resolution will never get the necessary endorsements, and if by some random fluke of chance, it did, it would never get voted for by the nations of the UN. So don't worry, and let him have his visions of oppressing every other religion out there.

The banning marriage one was funny, and actually thought-out before hand. But mainly funny. This one is neither, thus has nothing good I can say about it.

I'm so glad that so many people are opposing this proposal :cool:

I absolutely disagree with this proposal. My country holds high pride in its freedom of religious worship. We allow the people of our nation to have a choice and every human on this earth deserves a choice! I believe this proposal degrades our religious values as well as the standard of the UN.
