Damned Catholics
RE: Damned Catholics
(August 19, 2021 at 1:25 am)Ahriman Wrote: I really do love the Catholic Church......however, there are a few things I take issue with, that I am unable to look passed.

1) "Jesus Is God" - This one is really bad, for me. I don't believe Jesus is God, I believe Jesus is a messenger of God.

2) "The Holy Trinity consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" - This doesn't seem correct to me. I think the Trinity should be more like, God/Angels/Human Messengers. God is there, of course, and then there are angels, who serve as messengers, but only in spiritual form, not in human form, and then there are human messengers, such as Jesus.

3) "Mary was a virgin throughout her life" - This one just seems blatantly false. I do not believe in the Immaculate Conception, I believe Joseph impregnated Mary, and then she bore Jesus, and that Mary and Joseph definitely had sex a number of times, I mean, they were married, after all. Which also means that Mary was not sinless throughout her life, as I would consider sexual intercourse a sin, even if you're married to the other person.

4) "Believing you can be like Jesus, is a form of delusion" - This is something I was taught in Sunday School, that never felt quite right. We can't be like Jesus? We can't be messengers of God? Then why the emphasis on evangelization? Aren't we supposed to spread the word? This one never made sense to me.

How do you figure that?  Why do religious people have sexual hangups?
Sex is just dirty, and selfish. The man is just trying to get his nut, using the woman's body, and the woman is just thinking of how much more she can get out of the man, by having sex with him. Of course, this only applies to relationships and marriages.......when a woman has sex with Chad Thundercock, she knows she won't be able to get anything out of him, because he's an alpha male, and alpha males don't play that game. Most men are not alpha males, but regardless, sex is always selfish, whether it's the man being selfish, or the woman, or both. And besides, even if sex wasn't selfish at all, it would still be dirty. So many bodily fluids are exchanged, and it smells bad. Something smelling bad is a good indicator of its sinfulness. That's why cockroaches are considered such an unholy form of life, because they stink, in such a particularly bad way.

I sincerely hope this means you aren't going to breed.

I do not want children. But why do you "sincerely hope" I won't have children?

Jesus Christ......imagine eating a cockroach, or drinking cockroach milk.......just disgusting. We can add that to the list of things Catholics don't eat.

Yeah, sex is so selfish, as if people didn't hear about adoption.

But seriously, maybe mods could create a new topic out of posts that are going off-topic. This is about the news.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Quote:SAN DIEGO (AP) - Attorneys for nearly 150 people who claim sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests made nearly 10,000 pages of previously sealed internal church documents public Sunday, revealing at least one previously unknown decades-old case in which a priest under police investigation was allowed to leave the U.S. after the Diocese of San Diego intervened.

After a three-year legal battle over the Diocese of San Diego's internal records, a retired San Diego Superior Court judge ruled late Friday that they could be made public. The records are from the personnel files of 48 priests who were either credibly accused or convicted of sexual abuse or were named in a civil lawsuit.
Still waiting for similar scrutiny of the public school system,  which has a far worse history of sexual abuse than does the RCC.  For some reason, the media has no interest in investigating government schools.

Do you have any...whaddyacallit...evidence that sexual abuse in public schools is 'far worse' than in RCC?
