Do you plead guilty in exchange for a lower penalty?

I do. I definitely plead guilty. You guys got me lol.

Oh gun owners. Lol. I was like what the heck is a fun owner? Ha.

The real question is, are you a dirty Catholic, and do you have a catholic school girl outfit?

This is a weird thread. Supposed to be about the greatness (or lack of) of America, goes to gun owners, the death of all gun owners, which somehow leads to Catholicism, then fun owners, and finally catholic school girl outfits....hmm...

A person with a vagina, I think.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

I think the reasoning was that since all people will die eventually and since God allows this to happen, and since I believe in God, I therefore should not have anything against people talking about wanting whole categories of innocent people to get killed. 

Oh, and "innocent" was another issue for them as well. Since Catholics believe that no one is completely perfect, and that we all do things wrong sometimes, this supposedly means that we don't think there is such a thing as "innocent people who shouldn't get killed."

Somehow it led to Hell and gays. Still not sure how that happened, though.

Just finished that doc series you suggested Min, pretty good.  Looks like the right threw a fit on the Reagan episode, lol.  I got more hits from conservative sites attempting to debunk the episode than I got on the episode itself.  Defense against apocrypha, I guess.

@CL...no innocent people who shouldn't get killed? I take it the supposedly means you don;t subscribe to that notion?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
