    Those people truly are annoying aren't they? The ones that are "against other people simply because they don't believe as they do."

    See you are the definition of a "closed mind". Thanks for verifying that for us.

    he said 50% were gay, and that the rest were pedophiles, criminals and perverts, so all 4 categories make up 100% of the church.

    Exactly. If it doesn't fit your belief system, it's not worth considering = closed mind.

    Really if you're not here to share thoughts with people like me, WHY are you here?

    As far as the 100% of priests goes, if they don't fit any of the categories I mentioned, the remainder are severely deluded and prey on young minds if not their bodies.

    I've only skimmed thro this thread, but I have to say, some of the comments absolutely made my jaw drop.

    For what its worth, I'm from a "secular country" ie there is a State religion but its more about Judeo-Christian values being the basis for the Society. Or atleast it has been, to some considerable extent.

    Certain parts of Christianity and other religions, there are issues of interpretation. However, the ARE some immutable areas. Strangely, some people now think its cool to "hate" Judeo-Christian religion.I'm trying to figure out the demographic of these groups. Well there seem to be some radical homosexuals, transgenders, homosexual adoption activists and the like. I've also seen some people who've decided to create their own little concept of a religion, with differing motives and rationales.

    Recently I had a debate here on homosexual demands for marriage rights in the way the State sponsors heteresexuals. The debate turned into one on homosexual adoption.
    I departed the thread because I dont see the point debating with extreme radicals. It was interesting that the poster I disagreed with was actually suggesting that adults having sexual relationships with 13year olds was, and I paraphrase "something for society to open its mind to".(Its in the "age of consent" thread in Love&Sex- with George Takei's pic, if u want the exact gist of it all)

    It amazes me that homosexual marriage and adoption radicals and other groups think its ok to harrange our ancient system of Judeo-Christian values and institutions. Whilst at the same time claiming they have some sort of "moral protection" against their own views being questioned.

    The most drawdropping point of all for me, is to brand "all"(was that right?) Christian scholars and preachers as (and I paraphrase here again) "perverts, paedos and the like". Perhaps someone can confirm the exact wording of it all, so I don't wade thro 30 pgs..

    Sometimes I read something on the Net and think "what the hell has society become".
    Then I read a forum somewhere, look at the amount of thumbs up, and think "yeah, so its not *just* me that still thinks this way".

    All I can say is, I'm glad the truth is still the truth. Not just whats currently "cool".
    Doubtless Hitler, Jimmy Savile, David Koresh, George Takei and the like all had their ideas on what was "cool".

    Personally, I think I'd go to places other than those four for any moral and spiritual guidance...Maybe I'm not "cool" tho..

    Whew,

    I was worried for awhile that the dePopeulised world would be somehow different from the Popal one.
    But, it appears to be continuing on in its usual way.

    God is on hold until the conclave ends. He must feel like many when Twitter is down.

    As far as I'm concerned, until God has a Facebook page, he/she/it doesn't exist.

    Ain't it interesting that all the comments by God are Christian? And all the comments seem to be from Christians.

    Oh, that's right, the only TRUE god is Christian. I keep forgetting the Jesus programming. It's Christians vs everyone else.

    But why doesn't God post pix? Where is his FACE on Facebook?

    I guess that other god, Allah has his own Facebook page, which someone will link to next.

    Here, I saved you the trouble:

    Hey at least the muslims don't pretend God has his own Facebook. Hell he doesn't even have a face!

    See so there isn't just ONE god, right?

    Now, where's Satan's Facebook?

    Well, it seems you are siding with 'everyone else' here. So if you dislike this versus stance as much as I do why not distantiate yourself from it. It's not as black and white as all priests are pedo's and all christians deny gay rights and all non believers are bettering mankind obviously so why?

    There is more than one religion for a reason I agree.

    I wonder why the IQ scale only goes up to 110. :confused: A 130 score is not that uncommon.

    They are national averages.
    What amazes me are those countries where the collective IQ averages just above 60.

    Of course IQ tests can be culturally biased. So those rating low probably can't read anything but the bible or the Koran.

    In other words they are tragically uneducated. Just like those American conservatives who think the world is 5000 years old.

    Again, the naive are the ones the Church finds most attractive because they aren't smart enough to know better.

    Yes, because no one can agree on a single interpretation of which fairy tale Genesis story to believe.
