Quote:So far uv just been a troll but i'll give u a chance and we'll see.
So far I have told it like it is sorry you got emotional over it . Nor do I need your chances .
Quote:There is no group A or B there is just the one group he is angry about
Yes there is and this isn't a response
Quote:If his parents "don't know better" than neither do the rest.
That doesn't follow his parents might not know better but others do or should (at least in his opinion ) and even if we apply the same group even then their can be degrees of responsibility .
Quote:If his to be upset at anyone its his own parents who taught him that.
Yup he is upset about that that doesn't mean he can't forgive his parents for not knowing better
Quote:Thats who I was pissed off at first, my parents.
Well that says a lot
Quote:Not random people. Random people did nothing to him or me
See my second point

But I'm not doing those things. What I say of Aquinas is accurate about what he wrote. If you were taught differently, that is neither my fault nor Aquinas'.
If you want to stand by your claims, I'll ask you to give me links to reputable knowledgable sources, which show that my reading is incorrect.
Take it up with Dawkins and the Catholic Church.

The CIA is an arm of the government. I think it's pretty much a non-mention that politics and government has given rise to heinous acts. Do you have a comparable example to that of religion that is not inside the obviously hazardous realm of governance? It's also worth noting that the church incorporated and functioned as a system for governance for much of the period in question, so pointing out the evils involved in governance actually implicates religion rather than exonerates it. I'm not sure this tu quoque is headed toward anything productive.
(ETA: I'll also point out that governments serve an inestimably more important function than religions, so their excesses are better compensated, if not justified.)
