Let's Talk
April 30, 2014 at 9:02 pm
Hello, I am new to the forum, but please give me a fighting chance. I would like to open up the floor to topics for discussion and would love to give insight from a Catholic perspective. No "hate" just a perspective. It should be like a trip to the exotic zoo for most of you.

Yes it is, thank you so much.

Welcome, ducketto!

You can post a topic for discussion in the appropriate forum, or just jump in!
"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

PM me your email address to join the Slack chat! I'll give you a taco(or five) if you join! --->There's an app and everything!<---

Yeah, your Catholicism is "exotic" to us. You're a special little snowflake! Heart

What's so exotic about a religion that protects (and seemingly perpetuates) lurid old men that want to have sex with children?

Or about a religion that has elements in it that knowingly stole children from mothers to sell them to foreigners to get their nunnery some extra cash?

Or about a religion whose preaching and dogmas have undoubtedly led to the acceleration of deadly sexually transmitted diseases such has HIV by banning some of the most effective means of prevention?

Or about a religion that claims to stand up for the poor, and to represent their rights throughout the world, but whose headquarters is built of the finest marble and gold pillaged from the roman ruins nearby, and has some of the most expensive pieces of artwork and historical artifacts known to man, and whose capital reserves outstrip many a country whose populations could put to much more good use?

Yeah mate, your religion is totally 'exotic' to us. Many of us were Catholics. We don't need you to tell us what it's all about. Your religion's history can be seen in the destruction and countless dead scattered through history.
