Not really. Wretched women are unable to control their passions and put themselves and others in danger.

I think it would be best if such women were "minded" and kept respectable until they marry the man of their dreams.

That way things like out of wedlock pregnancy, STds, and use of contraception will be much less likely to happen.

Seriously. Convents are a good place for them.

Nothing really stimulating there, and if they get any inappropriate thoguhts or discussions, the nuns could set them straight with either gentle encouragement or firm rebuke.

Are you speaking as a Poe, or your actual self? Because if these are your true opinions, they stink. And if you're still Poeing, nobody cares what you think.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

^Poe, Stimbo. Smile
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I really hope you're right.

Ah, yes. As I repeatedly said, either you're a Poe baiting, a troll or just plain stupid. Make your pick.

He's already explicitly announced that he's a poe.  I think he's being ironic in almost all his posts.

I should think yes, if it is from charity, such as dropping a dime or two into the homeless man's styrofoam cup.

But should there be an active effort to end poverty? I know many Christians believe so but I am not so sure.

If we try to end poverty, there wouldn't be any poor people any more, and thus few people to exercise charity toward. Also, I have read that there is a certain "purity" in being poor, in that they don't really have the same anxities/concerns as those with money have. Getting some people out of poverty might lead them to be complacent, and relying on material, instead of spiritual things for happiness.

Further, Jesus said "You will always have the poor with you." Who are we to go against what He said?

I realize people who want to end poverty have good intentions, but it would be wise if you would examine those repurcussions.

I know this is hard, but I feel we must talk about it.
Every intention like this is good, and must be done, but never en masse, just like everything.

Stop being such a cunt. Why don't you edit your profile, in wake of how you recently came out as a poe, write a proper introductory post and join us in all seriousness.

Come on dude. You can go on being a boring clown, wasting your and everyone else's time or you can try to have an actual interaction with the community here. Choice is yours. I don't recommend the former.
