And if you have bothered to read civitas dei, you would know that the christian religion puts more stock on other-worldly, rather than worldly affairs.
Duh?
Again, if you had read civitas dei, you would know exactly the criticisms the catholic church have regarding the temporal affairs within which it must exist.
Duh?
Hermeneutics is a way by which the true meaning of ancient texts are discerned. Clearly, it goes much deeper than the literal interpretation you are aiming for.
Duh?
Yep. Even your own constitution and the ideas of freedom contained therein has been used to such ends.
It really is sad when morons get their way.
Because the faith exists in different political dynamics, that's why?
Nonsense. Hermeneutics was invented only recently. It certainly isn't the cause of schisms within the church.
I'm aware of that, along with the boers of south africa and whatever moronic mutation of the christian faith in history you choose to point at.
Personally, I'm just glad that rational thought prevails presently.
Nonsense.
If any of his actions is deemed criminal collusion, then he should be tried at the hague. After all, there is no statute of limitation for genocide, is there?
By all means, prove your case in court if that is what you really are interested in, and not simply maligning the reputation of another human being and the religion he represents.
What's odd, indeed???
Your baseless accusation that ratzinger was guilty of crimes against humanity for joining the nazi youth as a teenager? Please!
I don't actually prefer this current pope but that accusation is certainly way idiotic, even for you.
And did he not come to fulfill it? Isn't that the point of establishing a separate religion rather than reforming judaism?
And now he is being honored for it by the same institution that wrought him injustice.
What's your point?
Hence the millenium apology.
What's your point?
Nonsense.
The church condemns sins, not sinners.
Btw, what scientific research did you imagine proves homosexuality as a birth defect, hmmm?
What persecution did you have in mind, hmmm?
It doesn't make sense to you simply because you have never approached it with a sense of understanding. You would rather lift passages out of their context, examine them using your own rigid biases, and conclude whatever nonsense your mind concocts.
Is there anything I said that made you believe I reject scientific discoveries?
Just the facts, ma'm. Just the facts.
