As a Catholic/Lutheran/Christian I find the biggest pitfall of Christianity is Christians. And I'm sure if Jesus wasn't such a loving guy he'd whip your arses into gear. I mean come on, can you think of a nicer guy than Jesus? All loving of the sinners? You really need to learn that in being Christ-like you should show the love of Christ and not the hate of man.

Well, there weren't Protestants during there crusades but Protestants burned lots of Catholics and other people.

Yep...Protestant ministers are paedophiles too.

Some Protestant Churches supported Hitlers ideas. I mean, there are still Protestant Churches nowadays solely for white people and they promote racist, Nazi ideals.

Some fundamental Protestants discourage condom use....but I don't know if they have much influence.

No it is not. Buddhists are nice folks, Shito people have never started a war. I have never had a follower of Mithra assult me in my home, trying to convert me, and followers of Wicca have never jumped me in the mall with tracks and pamphlets.

Your statement is false.

That's not correct.

From the time that I spent in Thailand last year, when I stayed with a Thai family for a couple of days I found that Buddhists believed (at least in Thailand) that disbaled people deserve to be disabled and shouldn't receive no help because they did bad things in their last life. That doiesn't sound very nice to me.

Buddhist monks are cool.

Buddhist monks are cool.And the Pope is not? Do I really have to revive my ""Sexy Pope" Thread?

Hitler...uh Jews....I've got nothing, uh....as CE :oops:

Catholic priests took the place of many Jewish children and died for them etc.

Well, there weren't Protestants during there crusades but Protestants burned lots of Catholics and other people.

Who did they burn ? I doubt that this happened, but if it did, the numbers would not even be one tenth of the numbers that the Catholic church (including it's own members) has killed.

Yep...Protestant ministers are paedophiles too.

And they went to jail, and were not protected by the mother church.

Some Protestant Churches supported Hitlers ideas. I mean, there are still Protestant Churches nowadays solely for white people and they promote racist, Nazi ideals.

Current racial issues are not what we are discussing, the mother church did nothing bu help it'self during WWII

Some fundamental Protestants discourage condom use....but I don't know if they have much influence.

Proof ? And this is not just about discouraging condom use, this is about discouraging condom use in third world countries where the AIDs virus is killing a large portion of the population.

Buddhist monks are cool.And the Pope is not? Do I really have to revive my ""Sexy Pope" Thread?

Can the Pope punch a brick wall for two hours feeling almost no pain at all? If so, Pope, baby, you're cool too!

Hitler...uh Jews....I've got nothing, uh....as CE :oops:

That is not true. Prove it.

The Crusades were merely allowed by the Church as apose to jousting, child molesters are sinners and are therefore not Catholic, Hitler...uh Jews....I've got nothing, uh....as CE :oops:

The mother church started the crusades to get land for secound sons of wealthy families, and to prevent tourney injuries. They also wanted to expand thier own sphere of influence. To this end they offered forgiveness of all sins to any who went on crusade.
Sinners are still considered members of the church by the church, elsewise there would be no membership of the church (since we are all sinners)

Ever heard of Puritans...ever heard of Henry VIII, Edward VI or Elizabeth I? Ever heard of Ireland during the 16th century etc.... :roll:

And they went to jail, and were not protected by the mother church.

Really....the Catholic Church as a whole has not protected them, some evl Bishops have.

I was just using it as an example.

Proof ? And this is not just about discouraging condom use, this is about discouraging condom use in third world countries where the AIDs virus is killing a large portion of the population.

They were preaching abstinence. Abstinence is even more safer than condoms. No one can deny that.

That's crap. The crusades were started because Christian pligrims were being persecuted in the Holy Land and refused to make pilgrimages. Why do you think that they had lived peacefully until that point?

Methinks that you just have a blind hatred for the Catholic Church.

Ever heard of Puritans...ever heard of Henry VIII, Edward VI or Elizabeth I? Ever heard of Ireland during the 16th century etc.... :roll:

Point to you. My point still stands, you could add up the number of catholics killed by protestants of all denominations and still not get .01% of the number of people the mother church has had killed.

Really....the Catholic Church as a whole has not protected them, some evl Bishops have.

Bull sh*t, the church had reports of what was going on and did not report them to the local police, in most cases they just moved them to new hunting grounds.

It may be safer, but it is much less realistic. Telling people they will go to hell for using a condom (and yes your missonarys do that) will not make them abstinant, it will make them not use a condom.

Open your eyes, the church has done some very evil things.

So what if you have a degree, that doesn't make you a better person and nor does it mean that you don't have a blind hatred for the Catholic Church.

I agree, the Catholic Church has done some terrible things, but so have Protestants.

(Oh....and don't bring your 'shitty' degree nonsense to me. i don't care and I don't want to know. Univeristies are just elitist organisations where rich, spoilt, middle class kids can doss and get a free ride into a high-paying job.....I bet you're gonna tell that you are very poor....)

Bull sh*t, the church had reports of what was going on and did not report them to the local police, in most cases they just moved them to new hunting grounds.

Do you listen to what I say? No....who runs all that? The Bishops!

It may be safer, but it is much less realistic. Telling people they will go to hell for using a condom (and yes your missonarys do that) will not make them abstinant, it will make them not use a condom.
I see your point on this. I am pro-contraception myself, but I favour the 'ABC' program.

That is - Abistinence, Being faithful and contraception.

So what if you have a degree, that doesn't make you a better person and nor does it mean that you don't have a blind hatred for the Catholic Church.

I never said that I was a better person, if you will remember this entire converstaion between you and I started with your assualt of the protestant denominations. I think it is you trying to show dominace.
My degree does not say that I do not have a blind hatred for the catholic church, but I do not. I was mearly pointing out some uncomfortable facts about the church after you assulted and insulted the protestants and my degree has offered me the opportunity to study this church of yours in a more indepth manner than most.

[quote=Catholic Europe]I agree, the Catholic Church has done some terrible things, but so have Protestants.

Then you agree with the point of the author of this thread.

I guess that you have run out of facts and resonable responses so you must resort to flamming, that is to bad. I had hoped that you would be more christ like, but I guess that is not going to happen.
I am not very poor, I do quite well thank you. And since you have decided that you would rather flame than discuss, this conversation is over.
God bless and keep you.....far away.

P.S. I doubt jesus would approve of you attacking me that way.

That is false. Buddhists and shito hacve started many wars along history. The fact that you don't know about them doesn't make them less real. Learn a bit about East Asian history before making those statements.

Today I heard the most annoying remark relived by my mother today by this woman from church that....ARGH which would come in the category of: ones that say "we'll pray about it" without any decisive action, and just assume that God will send someone else will do it for them. Example:
My Auntie in the Philippines was dying not long ago and she didn't have the funds to support her, her family and buy her shockingly expensive medication and treatment. So my mum and I send money over to there to help them out and then one day mum and I were at Church and mum as having a conversation with some woman and told her about the sending money as support part...to which the woman replied "But Alma. It's not your responsibility. You can pray." I'm sorry you can pray and take some action to help at the same time. Enough said. And "It's not your responsibility"? WTF!! If you're closest friend or kin or someone was dying and couldn't afford treatment wouldn't you bloody help?
So obviously since then we haven't told anyone that we support our family, because we've been getting a lot of the same comments

Your statement is false.

By "Shito" I assume you misspelled "Shinto," aka the religion of Japan, the nation that started half of World War II. Mind you that during World War II, Shinto was reinstated as the official state religion of Japan. These Shintos who "never started a war" brutalized China, ravaged the Philippines, and ordered U.S. soldiers on the Bataan Death March, and the government barely acknowledges it today...and this statement is coming from a person who LIKES Japan and intends to spend next year studying there. Of course, I imagine that most Japanese these days are perfectly nice people who are just used to hanging out with people who are like them (living on a bunch of islands and having a history of enforced isolation will do that to you) and as a person who stands 6'3", wears a buzz cut and a goatee, and is not Asian-looking at all, I am well aware that i will be something of a novelty over there, but then again, if someone that radically different from anything we're accustomed to seeing in the U.S. walked down the street, we would consider that person/thing something of a novelty as well.

Yeah, especially the die hard groupies.

To be honest, from what is going on today I believe that Jesus said this. "well this is one big shit hole so in about a few years lets just burn the jews for being pricks and other bull shit." personally I think that If he was going to make this world better, he should have left the stash of weed in the cabnet and ask the grimm reaper to do his damn job instead of slacking off.

although you got to admit we aren't ignorant morons. Some of us even have a life (I know I do.)

CE never said he hated education, just the elitism. I dislike that sort of elitism as well.

Yes, I hate the elitism of universities (and I see no need for them). Education until then is perfectly okay by me, although like every person I'd rather not be at school.

Wow, what a total n00b!!!


Christianity, christianity . . . as an agnostic I have to say this: Christianity is not what Christ intended it to be. While most Gospels in the Bible are probably true, when the Bible was compiled (around 4th century) the Romans specifically left out certain parts (IE the Dead Sea Scrolls, Mary Madgelene likely being Christ's wife) to keep all the power under a few elite peoples. This warped Christ's message and caused a lot of hatred and mistrust for the greater part of the two millenias. The Gnostics (who predated the Romans) might have had the right idea . . . .

Well expressed. I agree.

Christianity is religion. Something you don't have so shut up until you find a REAL one. Atheisim or some other gay one like that doesn't count. Also, don't look at the Sunday Christians in the media. The media makes everything about America/Christians/popular and new things look bad.
