maplesyrup Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Austria bishop quits in sex row I am beginning to almost think we should start to consider banning organized religion, as a lot of these dickhead clerics are using the church to hide their disgusting habits. Perhaps not ban, because prohibition is not usually effective, but somehow we could substantialy reduce the power of organized religion, by eliminating any charitable tax- exemptions. This B***S*** has got to be stopped. :angry: Quote An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know.

Wonderboy Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I agree with you completely. It is vile what these people have done. However, it's not right to punish those that are innocent for the sins of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference between a 'religion' and a 'cult' is their respective social status. In Rome, Christianity was once a 'cult', while the worship of Jupiter (god of the sky) and Apollo (god of life) represented 'religion'. Fashion has changed and now the reverse holds true.

HybridConservative Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 First of all, there is nothing wrong with organized religion. There are bad people in EVERY organization. There are horrible people in politics. Should we turn to anarchy then? Secondly, yes, it is disgusting that there are so many bishops and whatnot using the sacred cover of the Church to use their profane and revolting and immoral acts. But just because there is a few bad apples in the barrel does not mean you have to throw out the entire case. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplesyrup Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Sorry, but that is not good enough. The Catholic Church needs to be dismantled, and their wealth turned over to the world's poor, all the world's poor.

stamps Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 The Pope is Gods representative on earth, I'm sure Satan has sent some of his demons to infiltrate and work covertly within the holy Catholic church with the sole mission and purpose of destroying christianitys' only truely genuine,greatest and most tangable sector... all these other so-called christian religions such as the Anglicans, Lutherans, Baptists etc are only cheap imitations and fraudulant and can only be described as tools for Satan... the war against evil is being faught daily within and outside Gods holy Roman Catholic church..... our planets ultimate fate hangs in the balance..... and we will prevail.. Amen..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridConservative Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Well done Stamps. Kudos to you And thats merely your opinion that they should be "dismantled". They've lasted FAR worse than this and they're they oldest Christian church dated back to the time of Christ. They've survived far more then the evils that yes, HAVE infiltrated. Makes me ill.
