Coldstream, you are like a one man inquisition PR officer. But having been in the business for almost 50 years, I can say, unequivocally, that you are not very good at it. You try to speak with a voice of authority but the facts do not support your homophobic assumptions or your undying faith in a corrupt and dying organization. After 2 thousand years of corruption, violence and crimes against humanity, it is time that the church rolled over and died, thus ending it's reign of terror. The Pope is no more honourable than any other politician or head of state. His holiness is only valid in the eyes of his worshipers.

The only thing i know for sure, cliffy, is the Church of Christ, and its worldly representation in the real Catholic Church is not going anywhere. God has guaranteed it that it will prevail against the Gates of Hell.. and it will.

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Mat. 16:18

And Anna, the bold italics are yours, not mine.

I think someone is just picking on the Catholic Church because as human as we are I find it quite odd that there are no problems with the Christians.
8O Have you ever tried to quit thinking? It might get you somewhere.

Yet you constantly claim other stuff as fact. How odd.

As there may be no such place as hell, the alleged heaven may just do that.

Oh, that explains what you meant by the phrase alright. You may as well not have typed those two sentences out for all that matters then, If you want to be really unintelligible, you should try using Chinese script here.
BTW, I put it in bold, not itallics.

You are nothing if not completely consistent in your sophistry and obfuscation, Anna. That's a compliment, although you are free to take it otherwise. ;-)

That is your belief, obviously, but the evidence that the NT is a politically motivated work of fiction is mounting. There were earlier christian writings that dispute those of the NT and were censored or burned to ensure that only the NT would be accepted and that the RCC would become the official religion of Constantine's empire. You are free to believe whatever you choose, but the facts do not support your beliefs in the RCC. It is just another political organization designed to frighten insecure people into following the dogma for the benefit of control freaks.

I wouldn't know. Why?
This question of yours has no more to do with the topic that the comment of yours that I replied to has.

He is shocked and aghast at a women so brazenly addressing men and he is no doubt perplexed that your husband or father has let you roam arround on the interweb casting eyes and ankles in a mans world when you should be baking and washing while your twenty-second child grows within you.:lol:

Just wondering if you guys new that the RCC dubs as many dozens of other churches as the Vatican? Just in case when you say RCC there are that many other churches associated with it, unless you are just specifically pinpointing out the RCC.

Time and destiny will tell, cliffy. You've obviously put all your wagers on one outcome. Are you prepared to be wrong. ;-)

I am not specifically pointing out anything. While the current discussion revolves around the Pope, it could hold true for almost any denomination, most of them have child sex abuse accusations made against them.

And why only Christian denominations? Does anybody really think that this sort of thing doesn’t go on in a mosque? Human nature is the same everywhere, absolute power corrupts absolutely whether in a church or in a mosque, whether in the hands of a Catholic priest or a Muslim, Imam, Mullah or Ayatollah. Nobody talks about anything like this in a mosque; it is not traditional to talk about such things in Muslim countries. But child sex abuse probably takes place in Islam as well.

For that matter, why should anybody think that Hinduism or Sikhism is exempt? The fact is, religious leaders have absolute power over their congregation, religious leaders may do just about anything when it comes to their congregation. So child sex abuse probably is prevalent in most of the major religion.

Here in the west we have overcome our shame, our taboos, our reluctance to speak of these subjects openly and these days we discuss them openly. Other societies are not as open. Child sex abuse is something strictly swept under the run in most societies.

Are Chirstians exempt too from these crimes? Like I said in my other post, I find it quite odd how Christians do not have the same problem as we are just as human. I know a conspiracy when I see one.
