Quack 12 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 It never was just Catholics, they just built the infrastructure for abuse earlier than most others, so they were better at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC MAN Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Agree with Quack 12 on the Catholics building the infrastructure for sick moments like that. This is also a bigger problem than religion alone...let's not forget the criminals that do not follow the law do this as well. Same for the movies & sports we watch because this happens behind the scenes too often. Org, I'm sorry about what the Catholics might have done to you in the past but there are many Christian groups out there that do not agree with the teaching of the Catholic Church. Painting all religions as poison due to the actions of one church is beyond stupid. One definition of religion on Google: "a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance." If you say you are not part of a religion, you are fooling yourself and you are proof that religions can be poisoned with hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it isn't stupid at all. Name a faith, and you're likely to find horrifying deeds done in its name. Christianity is probably the worst, historically speaking. 29 minutes ago, Jalapeno said: If you say you are not part of a religion, you are fooling yourself and you are proof that religions can be poisoned with hate. Aside from the fact that this doesn't make any sense, I can assure you that I am not fooling myself when I say that I'm not a theist. Atheism is not a belief system. I don't "believe" that there is no god, I simply deny that a god exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what you call "normal behavior", then you are the pervert. if you really don't know what "normal sexual behavior" is, then it's clear the problem is you. Any 2 non-related (that was for you, Bama) consenting adults engaging in sex is normal, and legal. And of course the bible is a bunch of fairy tales. People don't come back to life. Human beings aren't gods. Flaming chariots don't fly up to heaven with prophets. Human beings can't keep the sun in the air and effectively stop the earth from spinning so they can win a battle.

Unless you're 6 years old, you know this is nonsense. It's obvious that you've never read - lead alone - studied the Bible. It's also obvious that you miss the entire theme and point of what the Bible is about. What the Bible mentions - over and over and over and over - is love. The word "love" is expressed more than any word in the Bible. The Bible isn't about "fairy tales", it's about love for fellow man, love they neighbor, love for one's mother and father, love kids, love God and God's love for others. You're completely missing the point of what the Bible is about. "Normal sex" - as intended by God and expressed in the Bible - is for a man and a woman who love each other to express their love by being "fruitful", and multiplying. "Normal sex" - as intended by God and expressed in the Bible - is not for consenting adults to engage in an acts of adultery, be promiscuous, and aim to satisfy their lust just to get their rocks off.

I don't "believe" that there is no god, I simply deny that a god exists. People can make many things their "God" and thus engage in a religion to that God. For some - it's money. For others, it's sex. For some, it's power. Anything that an individual holds as the most important facet in their life, is the thing that that individual is treating as a God. And their mission in life is to satisfy that facet becomes a religion towards that element. You might not think you have a God, but guaranteed, there is something in life that you hold up as the ultimate "thing", and when you do so, that "thing" becomes your God, while your devotion that that "thing" becomes your religion.

Do you know who wrote the Bible? Which is it? Should I read, study and interpret themes and points of the bible, or should I read/study and follow the expressed written word of the bible. Those things conflict regularly in the bible. Should I just use which ever method fits my narrative, like finding a passage about normal sex is not about getting rocks off (note: I couldn't find that passage anywhere...). Because parts of the bible taken as expressed word leaves me confused when I read about camels going through needles and people living in a whale. The movie Up is about love.
