the history of the catholic church has always been one of money and power. Look at the conquest of the native americans. Even if you believe that the pope is a kind gentle soul that wants to save everyone from hell and not a man that wants the power the church used to have 400 years ago, the fact is that the bible lends to either converting every one who can be converted or killing/shunning/outcasting those who cant.
sorry it took so long to see you responce i'm new to the forum.
I thought you said Corinthians. You have cited Chronicles.
Psalm 14:1 this one says the unbeliever is corupt and an abomination, John 15:19 this one says that i automaticly hate you for some reason.
I could go on but I'm not here to turn phrases and outwit you as an opponent. I'm here to ask a simple question. As for what reason the pope would want to rule the world.... i dunno wealth, power, prevledge the ablity to ignore wrongs done by his special elite and to destroy any oppositional thinking that might relieve him of his power. All of this was done in history. It is convenient how the religious forget the horror that they have visited upon others in the name of their god. Before you try to get out of this just take a look at the list of atrocities that have been done in the name if christ since Constitine. you dont need me to look it up for you. the internet is available to you.
So the question stands. If this country becomes a catholic nation what would my life as a non believer look like?
