Isn't It Stange ... But True?

[sparky]

my mom is a catholic- i was brought up catholic and Myrna is catholic. when i say brought up i mean catholic schools taught by preists and nuns- bunch of sadistic perverts i may add

they are entitled to believe what they wish but its still a load of baloney. most of the bible was *******ised by french bishops to suit their purpose.

"Sweeping Statements" ... which - whilst it cannot be denied that [SOME] 'Religious Orders' HAVE had (and presumably always WILL have) their "share" of shady and/or unsavoury characters - should NOT - by ANY stretch of the imagination be applied to the CHRISTIAN Church in general! Indeed, as far as I'M aware, the closest the Church of Scotland (of which I've been a communicant member since the age of 17) has come to being in any way "associated" with unnatural and/or deviant sexual acts was at last year's General Assembly - when there was fierce opposition among clergy to the induction and ordination of a gay minister to a prominent charge in Aberdeen. And I'VE been a ruling Elder for 35 years!

So it's most unfair to generalise - by basing the morality of the Christian Church (in its WIDEST sense) on malicious rumours arising from the [comparatively] few isolated reports of gross indecency within its ranks.

Starting to wonder if you were once a choirboy sparky

I've dabbled in a few religions myself. Was a converted christian at 11 and later lost interest, had friends who were muslims and hindus and learned about their faiths, then later I became a Buddhist. now I'm here in a predominantly Catholic country. What I've come to realize is that we don't really know if there's a God No sacred book or billions of believers can prove it.

That's something I usually keep to myself btw Religion and politics are usually topics I don't discuss when in foreign countries.

I actually went to church last week for the first time in ages. Don't think I'll be getting invited again after setting a new world record for yawns in an hour. It reminded me of when I was kid, there just seems to be a way priests preach that could send me to sleep.
