Christians - Aware you worship a virgin?

RE: Christians - Aware you worship a virgin?
Thanks tack I too am glad that I was able to catch myself before reaching the point of no return. It is sad to see so many people get lost in religious extremism to the point where they are no longer rational nor able to think independently. I've met many who were like that in my former days as an evangelist.

I like what Stephen Fry has said... Wink

Only it's more directly at just the Catholic church in this case,

I am talking of this - in my opinion gem of a - quote:

"That's the strange thing about this [Catholic] Church: it is obsessed by sex, absolutely obsessed. Now, they will say we with our "permissive society" and our "rude jokes" are obsessed; no, we have a healthy attitude, we like it, it's fun, it's jolly. Because it's a primary impulse it can be dangerous and dark and difficult - it's a bit like food in that respect, only even more exciting. The only people who are obsessed with food are the anorexic and the morbidly obese, and that, in erotic terms, is the Catholic Church in a nutshell." - Stephen Fry

Yes... you go wrong when you use logic.

God trumps all with his awesomely profoundly high levels of "specialness". Duh.

Ledo I don't deny that they're could have been many who had the title "son of man". History has a tendency to repeat itself and I fully accept your definition. How many of those with the title Claim to be God incarnate on earth or part of the holy trinity?

Jesus claimed to be part of the Trinity? I seem to be missing that quote in my Bible.
