He he, she got Randy to admit he could understand murdering people for their heresy. Yikes....
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I have no intentions of hiding my 'evil deeds' in any confessional, i.e., repent. I have no problem with cohabitation and usually I am in the kitchen with the women catching up on the gossip. (not a sports fan at all, except women's mud wrestling).
'acts of sexual immorality in the confessional' So that is where the priests do the little boys. I was wondering what those boxes were for.
See, I am evil and do not care who knows. Bwa ha ha ha. 
If you could ever indulge in some free-thinking and really think about what a true god would be (not that petty bitch in the bible), you would realize that if there were a god, even your insignificance would be insignificant.
Bro do you even read *points to avatar info*
I hope it was as much fun for you as it was for me baby.

The implications of enough people believing in such a way is frightening. And they wonder why I hate religion.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

What did you expect, being followers of any kind of that Iron Age Jesus cult in the 21st century, they are already the discarded slag that sank to the bottom as humanity refines itself by progress and accumulation of knowledge and wisdom.

I think that is the thing that most surprised me. I was expecting Protestants to respond after I started screaming about how they're all going to hell but then again why would they look at Catholic threads?
I'm just putting it down to them not reading where I've been posting, it's only really been on the gay marriage and Catholics threads.
Also, whooo for the supreme court decision! Never thought it would come so soon!

In other posts, anti-christers have made a big deal over Christians trying to impose their beliefs upon others through the laws of our government, etc. Here are two Catholics who applied the law and NOT their personal religious beliefs. How did THAT happen?
Regarding these two justices, if we afford equal protection under civil law and we reject discrimination against any group on the basis of those laws, then applying the law equally to all groups is reasonable.
Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and to God that which is God's.
If Caesar wants to recognize gay marriage, then Caesar may do so.
God does not.
And therein lies the problem for our nation going forward. All of the Supreme Court Justices are either Catholics or Jews.
There are 6 Catholics and 3 Jews. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20...court.html

Maybe some of them will correct me, but I don't think you're ever going see many Christians arguing with other Christians here - that's not why they'd sign up for a forum like this. There are many large forums full of Christians debating other Christians, but the ones who come here want to debate and possibly "save" atheists, and getting side-tracked arguing with other people that they know we're not persuaded by anyway, is not a good way to do that. I don't think there's a motive for liberal and moderate Christians to even READ threads where atheists are debating fundamentalists. In my experience liberal and moderate Christians tend to present their own interpretations, without directly addressing literalist and inerrantist arguments, even when they are on Christian forums.
"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don't grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."

Is that the full context of what I wrote, Mike?

This is the full context of what you wrote, Randy

The goal of killing heretics was not simply to enjoy their suffering, was it? No.
The idea was that those who led others into spiritual error endangered their eternal souls. Thus, while a murderer merely ends the temporal life of the person he kills, the heretic ends the eternal life of his "victims".
Thus, harming someone for eternity is worse than harming someone for this life only.
I do not agree with this, but I can understand the logic of it.
Where you explicitly state that you understand why heretics were burned at the stake. It doesn't matter if you 'agree' with it, you said you understand why they did it.
