Zeus and Krishna is gods among those who come from cultures who believe in those religions. In another place or in an another time, that would have been your gods to. 

Talk to a Muslim, and they will tell you Jesus was not the Son of God, simply one of the pantheon of holy men. The wheel keeps turning.

This form of argument is as old as Christianity itself. It's one of the dishonest forms of debate, attacking the person instead of their statement. It's called argument ad hominem.

As a believer, you wouldn't want to be dishonest, would you?

Actually I was attacking the statement. It also happened to come from an unwise individual.

Some are right in their beliefs and some are wrong. Be sure you are right.

Here's what you wrote:

"As the saying goes.... "with age comes wisdom". Apparently not so in your case."

Whatever religion you subscribe to clearly doesn't endorse honesty.

Well, if there is a god, we all are sons of the god, and muslims reckon Jesus as an prophet.

OK Bristol. Let me repeat, the MESSAGE was an unwise one. If you want to include the messenger it's up to you. Have a marvelous day.

The Pope had been a fairly staunch defender of those accused of child abuse until recently it makes me wonder what's in his past.

Not true at all and don't speak for me as to who I would believe to be the true God. Some worshiped a golden calf amongst other silly "idols". Don't put me in that camp please.

Some people honestly acknowledge when they err.

"Apparently, not so in your case."

I guess I haven't just made a personal comment.

For all the catholics out there....I'm being sarcastic.

I don't think there are many Catholics on TVForum. There are a couple of Jews and a few Christians, one Muslim and half a dozen Buddhists. The Jedis seem to be growing in number but the atheists are way out in front in the number stakes.

 

IMO.

So if you lived in a culture where the golden calv was worshipped, how would you know about your god? Seriosly ????

Why is there not an international criminal investigation of the Catholic Church?

How to investigate God's representatives on earth? laughable - a lot believe it to be true.

How many times has it been proven the Vatican is used for money laundering.

What secrets are locked away in the vaults of the Vatican?

Why indeed? think you know the answer though

The Borgias, is one of many good stories about times in the Vatikan, based on real history. Drama of course, but still

There is two tv series about the Borgias.

I apologise, as I assumed you were Catholic.

 

In which god do you believe?

[dick dasterdly]

Must admit that I don't have much time for the nuns concerned as they were adults, and so entirely capable of thinking 'hang on a minute, something seriously wrong here!' - walking away, and reporting the abuse to the media.

 

I've even less time for the pope who has been (and still is) in a position to sack the priests responsible for the child and nun abuse - but prefers to concentrate on closing an order of nuns......

 

How many priests have been sacked for child abuse?

Clean joke! I'm sure it's the one you were thinking of.

 

Two nuns in the bath together. One says, "have you seen the soap?" "Yes, dear! Do you want it?" "NO, not after it's been in your <deleted>" "Don't worry dear, it's in the soap holder."

And you know this how? You appear to have a selective definition of wisdom. Permit me to doubt yours is the only version available.

I'm interested in your certainty you are right. What proof are you offering, apart from a few minatory statements?

Why not? Do you have a picture of the Virgin Mary or a crucifix on one of your walls? What difference is there?

You forgot the pagans. They actually have the temerity to believe in what they can see and feel.

Ah! - so ye olde Pope has finally unravelled the age old question;

 

as to:

 

'how can you get a Nun pregnant?'

 

 

 

 

 

 

oh!yay  ye olde usual way...

Odin, Zeus, Jupiter, Aton.  Yahweh. God. Allah. Isn't it strange how every religion proclaims itself as the one true path, and superior to all others? Shiites and Sunnis. Southern Baptists, Mormons and Amish. You can't all be right.

They're all right in their own way, in their own little worlds. Each one has its own true path to its own dream.

It's kept them all happy for centuries, they don't want enlightening.

I don't get it - I managed to go through my whole atheist life without ever...

 

- sexually assaulting anyone

- having sex with minors

 

And I have not benefited from the 'moral compass' given by a religion.
