Why is there not an international criminal investigation of the Catholic Church? Why? You will never hear of a CEO giving their life to serve the sick and pook in a leper colony. That you focus on the evil that men do and not the good that Christians have done throughout history speaks volumes about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peasandmash Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Jesus said, "I have not come to condemn the world, I came here to save it". From this scripture it is clear Jesus knew of the evil man was capable of doing. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying." This is the promise that believers and non-believers should focus on. Today, the greatest minds of science have demonstrated that at the quantum level everything is made up of energy and intelligence. What is the origin of this intelligence? Some claim it is consciousness, a soul that pervades the Universe. God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very controversial at the time. Aldous Huxley's book The Devils of Loudun gave much of the source material for the film, well worth a read.

The Koran states that, when travelling, Moslems need not observe Ramadan. Every year, I see wealthy Middle Easterners taking advantage of this rule by sojourning in Pattaya for the length of Ramadan. It's comical to see them every night, in Drinking Street, a bottle of Red Label in front of them, a girl on either arm and toking away on a Shisha pipe. Observers of most religions are extreme hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I celebrate christmas, I celebrate family, life, and the sun is coming back, not Jesus birthday. Not everyone born in a Muslim country is practising the religion. But they are forced to it, as long they are inside the comunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no human on this planet who know what god is, and what god wants, but there is people who destroy other peoples lives because they think they do! I live a decent enough life to know when my time comes, I did my best from what I had and could have done. Of course I could done alot more for other people, but I also have to make my life as good as possible, so I can do some in return for others. We live on a planet by nature law, and maybe thats what we should be more concerned about, the nature, than guessing what god wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a staunch Catholic it was my Mother's last wish. Up to her. My home for eternity will be in the Mekong River, where my ashes will be scattered. Yes, my father came across a devout preist. He was the Abbot of a theologian College, run by Spanish monks in Tangiers. The abbot would sit my father on his knee, sipping from a can of condensed milk and encourage my father to masturbate him, all in the name of God, of course. Back right on topic, a few years later, my father was fighting with a communist brigade in the Spanish Civil War. His unit "liberated" a convent.

I have no words for what happened to your father nor the babies in the graveyard. Both are horrific. But remember those situations were all conducted by humans. Yes, they were "supposed" to be representatives of God on this Earth. They failed. Don't let their failures define your eternal home tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
