Just because you do not believe in a religion - or ANY religion - does not make it acceptable to pervert it. Mary may mean nothing to this man (a very sad thought) but she means the world to A LOT of people. He should respect this.

Anyone else find it typical that he goes after Catholicism?

We all shall be there on that day...

She forgives him, loves him, and will plead with Jesus to let him into heaven still. She's just too nice.. the Queen of Mercy. it would be nice for the King of Justice to serve him up a dish or two first though..

St. Padre Pio (who once clocked a guy for dishonoring Our Lady), pray for him!

i can't wait to see Bill Donahue's response to this..

Sisely gained notoriety in Melbourne in March when he posted "Virgins Wanted" placards at Monash University, hoping to attract a man and woman willing to let him document their first sexual experience, Ninemsn reports.

"It takes a pretty sick mind to come up with something like that just to get publicity," Sydney Archhdiocese spokeswoman Katrina Lee told Ninemsn.

"It's concerning that people are prepared to go down that track ... it's a sad indictment of them."

Sisely said he chose the Virgin Mary for the poster because, to him, religion constituted fiction.

"For me believing in God is like believing in James Bond," he said.

"It's just like fiction and I hate fictional narratives ... [b]I don't know any young people who believe in God.[/b]
"Anyone can make fiction but if you're filming documentaries, you're transforming people's lives."

Sisely said one person who identified themselves as belonging to a church phoned his production company threatening legal action earlier this week but left no further details.

He needs to get out more.

When I see stories like this, all I can think is "why?"

Just pray for him Pham.

One thing to not believe in God. Quite another to mock and ridicule him.

Guess he's 100% confident there is no God. He better hope he's right.

I like that passage from Romans.
