Given the Pope visiting the U.S.....any pearl jam fans that are catholics? If so, how does some of Eddie's anti-religion views affect you?

    No persons views affect my views. I never did get that although I agree with EV on most all things.

    Am i the only one who finds Bill Mahrer disturbing?

    actually, even though i disagree with the majority of what bill maher says i love watching his show...it's mainly his show i like. oh yeah, the catholic church is evil....sure. those things they tell people to do....help others out...preserve the sanctity of life...do to others as you want done to you...help out those in need. oh yeah, they're evil alright. the fact that my uncle is getting his chemo paid for by a catholic charity and he's not even catholic cause he's in need. oh yeah, they're evil alright.

    Ed says many, many things I don't agree with. But PJ's music kicks major ass, so all is forgiven.

    i despise mahrer hes so full of himself. He always loads guests with liberal leanings.
    In the history of mankind I would say the only hting more people have died for than religion is disease. so it is the second leading cause of death ever. Organized religion.

    ....moreover, personally eddie's views don't affect me. also, they don't affect my affection for him. i love his angst, passion, sarcastic nature, and such, however he's full of contradictions. why was he never complaining about afghanistan's treatment of women....or iraq's torture of its citizens....the iraq olympians getting executed if they lose a soccer match....the iraq people getting mass executed by a leader. i mean does he not acknowledge that? i mean the whole entire "iraq war" has been a complete blunder and fuckup. but it's not like the sadam was a fucking saint. i mean you can't have it both ways.

    Born ctholic, raised to be a human. Now grown up and not really religious!

    Don´t know what Ed has said but it surely couldn´offend me.

    Called freedom of speech!

    Not a Catholic, but appreciate a lot of them that actually practice it. However, the whole birth control thing drives me nuts. We will be Mexico before you know it. Also, Bill Maher is an asshole.

    Im Catholic

    Eddies views on Jesus matter to me about as much as Jesus's views on Eddie.

    I love Jesus - Hopefully Eddie will too someday

    i don't easily get offended by ed either. but there are at times, mainly at shows, when he takes it too far. it's like in an effort to sound "elitist" (hate to use that word, considering it's being overused right now) or even to profess his own views he has to not only put down organized religion but make fun of its followers. i mean he just can't go down the middle sometimes, he always has to take it to the extreme or the other end.

    agreed. He is actually way off base on many of his views.

    I think you meant to say "he is actually way off base on many of his views WHEN COMPARED TO MINE."

    I'm catholic, but I don't go to church or anything. I kind of agree with Eddie, actually.

    I was raised catholic but am now an agnostic. Bill Maher is brilliant and I agree with pretty much all of his libertarian views.

    Yes, I am a Catholic. I was even an alter boy, never got touched. To think of it the girls did not look either. Ed has his own voice, let him speak, that is what makes America great. In other places we would not be permitted to speak freely or be a Catholic. :) SMILE EDDIE LOVES YOU!

    To each their own..
    I am catholic and do not plan on trying to change everyones mind or convert them if you will. I listing to PJ or ED now for the music only really don't care what they believe in or who they vote for. My mind is mine and the choices I make are mine.


    Never really been a follower....
