good point the roman papacy does suck. — christian2017
I would see the pope and half his pedophile protecting bishops in jail if I had the power.
I would see all governments fly right and bring those bastards to justice.
Bullets are too good for them and collectively are all contributing to pedophilia.
Shame on us all. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
If I curse a pedophile protecting pope, or a death camp promoter and accomplish, does it matter which one of the many I name when speaking in general terms? — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Suicide stats belie this. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
I do not know what you prattling about. You claimed that the pope at the financed Nazi death camps, and the "reference" you provided described something different. I was simply asking to cut down on hyperbole and use more clear language.
And whatever Catholic priests did in Croatia, it does not change the fact that the Muftii of Jerusalem was advising Hitler and recruiting muslim Nazi SS regiments. — Nobeernolife
Perhaps your post would be more pleasant if you understood what we can understand depends on what you already know. When people are from different cultures are trying to communicate, what they know will be different, and these people may have trouble understanding each other. Stop finding fault in the poster, and take this cultural difference into consideration. — Athena
Yes the Roman Papacy really sucks.
Do you believe in aliens? — christian2017
Reading comprehension? I did not find "fault in the poster", I said the reference that he posted does not match the claim. Nothing to do with culture. — Nobeernolife
I do not know what you prattling about. — Nobeernolife
What is important for a person can be what is true. The culture wars are wrapped around that connection. Being a progressive is about embracing a better way to do things and developing a more just society. It also is about the connection between the personal and the political that is a the heart of the different iterations of "Christianity."
One of the interesting elements of Elaine Pagels' book about the Gnostic Gospels is that the demand for inclusion by the church was not just about all the bad things it produced. A vision of the universal seems to be a terrible thing in many ways. But sorting out what should be embraced or rejected on that basis is exactly what the connection between the personal and the political needs to struggle with. — Valentinus
“God's law is 'right reason.' When perfectly understood it is called 'wisdom.' When applied by government in regulating human relations it is called 'justice.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero — Cicero
Unless me and you want to go to jail for 80 years, doing a citizen arrest isn't the best option. But if 80 years in jail is something you can manage, whatever god or alien force out there might reward you greatly.
Yes the Roman Papacy really sucks.
Do you believe in aliens? — christian2017

Wow, what are you thinking? That seems to be an insult, not a reasonable argument? Is it your intention to dismiss reason and insult someone? It requires a lot of effort to stick reasoning and I am sure you do want to do better. — Athena

To think we are the only intelligent species in the universe, is betting against the odds. So yes, I think that there are intelligent life out there.
Would I spend the rest of my life in jail to end the damage the pedophile protectors and facilitators out there are doing?
Yes.
I risked 18 years in jail when I was 36ish for a lesser cause. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Yeah i've done some shit too. Send me a private message if you would like. — christian2017
I'm still not giving up my christian faith. — christian2017
Hum, that is true, but for some reason, your posts seem to carry a knife. — Athena

I was just wondering; are you a guy or a gal?
I know your avatar is a female but wanted to confirm this. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
My posts carry a knife? What is that even supposed to mean?? — Nobeernolife

Doesn't every sort of animal have its own sort of brain?The whole debate annoys me because if God wanted us to remain ignorant He could have designed our brains to be no different than the rest of the animals. — Athena
Doesn't it seem reasonable to suppose that the structure of our brains does indeed make it impossible for us to know some things and impossible for us to think about some things?God could have designed our brains to make it impossible for us to know things He doesn't want us to know and make it impossible for us to think about them. — Athena
I've heard that many of the birds that mate for life catch some action on the side now and then. Perhaps we should say in this regard they aren't so different from the humans who behave likewise.God could have designed us to mate for life like many birds have life long mates and that would save a lot of marriages. — Athena
Yes, absolutely.Does a chimp know the difference between good and evil? Do humans behave like chimps? Do chimps think like humans? — Athena
The capacities that open new horizons of knowledge, freedom, and power for us lead also to new horizons of confusion and error, irresponsibility, and depravity. — Cabbage Farmer
you were vague so i'll be vague. I stole X dollars worth of stuff from a store with the intention of being caught — christian2017
If i'm wrong about the Bible how does that hurt you, — christian2017
you should reconsider being my friend since we both believe in aliens. — christian2017

Aren't all the brains similar to all the others in some respect or other? And some more than others in this or that respect? — Cabbage Farmer

Is there some reason to suppose that minds like ours can "know everything" and "think about everything"? — Cabbage Farmer
Is there some reason to suppose that something exists that "knows everything" and that can "think about everything"? — Cabbage Farmer
How should we characterize "knowledge of everything" and the capacity to "think about everything"? — Cabbage Farmer

It's well established that chimps are among the nonhuman animals with something like a sense of fairness, compassion, community, friendship, and playfulness. They're intelligent problem-solvers with creative imagination and reliable memory. They form rational expectations informed by experience. They conceive ranges of alternative outcomes and adopt attitudes of expectation analogous to our attitudes of belief, wonder, doubt, and hope.
On the other hand, consider the peculiar atrocities and the irresponsible, selfish, and hateful acts committed by human beings every day. — Cabbage Farmer
