The sign of things to come

[AtW]

What about other doctrinal crimes of the church such as burning "witches" alive or suppressing scientific research like it happened with Galileo, Jordano (sp?) Bruno etc?

Don't waste your breath, AtW. He'll just ignore the questions he doesn't like and brandish the cut 'n' paste tool on anything else (which to be fair, can be amusing sometimes when it's apparent he either hasn't read or hasn't understood what he's pasting).

A pity really, but that's how it plays out time after time.

and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

Not sure I like this bit.
My wife was previously married. Her husband beat her regularly deprived her of contact with friends and family and threw her out on the street with nothing.

I met her. She is the light in my life, she is the heart and soul of everything that I am. I love her.
In me she finds the love and security that she has a right to.

Why then does your religion say we must not marry? Fook you, we did anyway.

[SupremeSpod]

Thats the greatest lie - Jesus lives and if you want proof Spod -ask him.

What's his address? The Jews want to finish the job.

Thank you so much, that is so generous of you.

Have you always been a complete arse or did this character trait only surface after the alpha course?

imagine a world where is no rape, paedophilia, were marriage is sacred children are brought up in a loving environment with two parents lovingly committed to each other - just imagine what sort of healthy and balanced society we have.

Chico - we're actually singing from the same hymn sheet (if I may use an expression from the corporate bullsh1t bingo card) when it comes down to our beliefs in how a society should behave in order to avoid destruction.

However, where you and I differ, is in free thought. You are bound by a contradictory, idealistic text whose meaning has been distorted over many years of translation and yet all you card carrying members pull out quotes to justify your interpretations.

You yourself in your own public demonstration of contradictory behaviour that has been shaped by your futile lack of understanding of something written by man: "christians are all loving - kill the terrorists". We come in peace, shoot to kill etc.

The adultary, remarrying scenarios are ludicrous and idealistic. Your vision for this world is admirable but niave and idealistic.

You and I are probably striving for the same things in life.

The difference is, I don't act like an arrogant fool with delusions of grandeur because I'm a card carrying christian member. Your self-righteousness, arrogant and self-superior attitude is born from a smug feeling of "I know something that you don't".

I've seen it in alot of born-agains.

However, I've not seen that attitude being sanctioned in your text that you study so much.

[John Galt]

Chico, this may seem an odd question but what do you consider to be God's purpose on Earth? Surely a supreme being has the wherewithall to stop the attrocities that man commits? If he has the ability then why not the desire? Was it just a case of - here is your world now get on with it?

[Chico]

John

just got off a train - so forgive my brevity.

I trust you are referring to Jesus' ministry or did you mean why God created man?

[Bagpuss]

Chico, I have seen the light. Would you like some man love?
