I don't know how you can say so much and say so little, Nums.  You used three long posts and just blathered the whole time.


I know you're not stupid but sometimes... There is no need to break up the Catholic church's billions among all the people in the world, only the hungry ones. Your response was meant to deflect the attention away from the fact that the Pope's behavior is directly in contravention to Jesus' commandments. The fact that all the church's billions might not end hunger permanently is no reason to not try and certainly no reason for the Pope to live like a king.


It was nice when you characterized my interpretation of Jesus' 6 words of commandments to be simple-minded.  It's pretty hard not to get the message from six simple words, but your actions suggest that you haven't been able to do so. You seem to have a desperate need to make things complex.


LOVE GOD and LOVE OTHERS AS YOURSELF are just about as simple as one can get and still be profound.  You can't do these simple things though, you have to take the less important scriptures about gay people and conflate them while studiously ignoring Jesus direct commands to you.


One of the reasons that I have taken up the fight for gay rights is that the Pope and you and Andy and Who and most of the rest of the Christian population are so poorly educated that you don't know the difference between homosexual and transsexual people, so all the stupidity and hatred that you vent on them is spread onto me as well.  And the stupidity of the Catholic church was not mitigated by the millennium apology in that the stupidity didn't stop.  We need a new name for the people who ignore Jesus' teachings and focus on using the Old Testament as a weapon to hurt others.
