Vatican lists "new sins," including pollution

[Panzerfaust]

I wouldn't give a bucket of mountain lion piss for the opinion of the Vatican or any Catholic priest.

LMAO @ Catholic's making up religious laws. These are the same people who are infested with perverts and child molestors and when one is caught, they simply ship the priest to a new parish in another town.

They have no religious credibility IMO.

I have a similar view on all religions, in general. I still seem to respect peoples choices for the time being as long as they leave me alone.

f'in' A bro, there's been more evil done in human history for religious beliefs than under any other banner. religions arethe sooner we all realise it the sooner we can come together as one species united. if there truly was a god or gods, i believe he she or they would be like nothing anyone has ever imagined. anyway i heard one of the "new" sins is being obscenely wealthy. guess bill gates has a big ****in' problem then...

Oh really, would you care to state such evil? was it more than the Nazi banner? the Soviet banner? how about laos killing fields? or the current genocides in durfar or rwanda? fill me in with your wisdom.

The Crusades....the Salem witch trials...I'm sure we can pick out just as many evil acts committed in the name of religion as any other reason. Trying to say one is worse than the other is really pointless, so long as you acknowledge that both religion and OTHER motivations have been equally as devastating to human life and that BOTH have been the justification for evil acts in the world. One point that would be pretty hard to argue with, is that religion is yet another point to add to the list of things which divide the human species. I suppose that doesn't matter as we will always find SOMETHING to be divided over.

He stated, "there's been more evil done in human history for religious beliefs than under any other banner". That is far from true. In his defense you pointed out the Salem Witch trials which resulted in 19 deaths. World War II resulted in 72 million. There is no comparison. Lets stick to the arguement that religion is more evil than any other banner. It is a shameless lie in order for the liberals to feel better about their discrimmination. If one chooses not to have a religion then thats their choice but there is no need to start the trash talking about the ones who choose to believe in God.

I sure would.

was it more than the Nazi banner?

Yep. Lots more.

Yep. Lots more than all of that.

Organized religion in general, and Christianity in particular, promote not only superstition, but authoritarianism. Many people have been told, "Beleive, or die!" or, "You must do X because the Holy Book commands it," or some other such nonsense. And Billions of people have suffered in the process.


Ya, there's lots more . . . you can find it yourself if you only look.
For starters, try:

That is your wisdom? Tock, you have not been the same since Logan left. You are usually much better than that^^^

No, it's a reference to somebody's else's wisdom.

I've summed it up several times in other threads, and I'm disinclined to do it again.


You're right, though . . . I haven't been quite the same since Logan left. I've cried myself to sleep every night since he -- since he -- sniff sniff sniff -- since he LEFT ME!

Well there are over 1 billion people (practicing Catholics) that do care and since the Catholic population in Texas is growing you will learn to care. In your eyes no one has religious credibility but then again you are so far out there with your beliefs it comes as no surprise.
