News on Religion in Our Goverments

Bishops Criticize Tough Alabama Immigration Law - The New York TimesI don't know where to stand on this one.

alright thanks. What churches do that?Glad I'm Roman Catholic, we don't do that crap. We have our own PRIVATE schools to indoctrinate our own people, and we are not creationists to begin with, must be those crazy Protestants. Everyone should be worried of the Sola Scriptura fanatics.

not sure what can be done; and its a small minority, so to insinuate that as if its all over the church and every priest is suspect, is what I have a problem with, and why I hit the dislike button. You can type the most logical well thought out post, but that snarky off-color jibe at the end is what ruined everything.

I got no problem with that, my problem was the stereotyping of an entire demographic (and the largest Christian church on the planet Earth), based on the actions of a few. If I get robbed by a black man and call all blacks robbers then I would be called a racist. But if you make similar remarks about Catholics based on the actions of a few, then THAT is different!?! I don’t have a double standard, and I won’t allow you to have one either. Not true at all. Catholics are very upset, discusted, and angry about it. Even in very faithful nations like Ireland. It’s a big deal.
I said nothing to the contrary of that, only that AZPaul3 was slandering 1.147 BILLION people, on the actions of a few, and no-one cares. I was just pointing out another horrible double standard that exists here at EvC. Why? I think Bloomberg sucks, and NYC would be better without him.Have you been to ground zero in the last 10 years? I have been twice once in 2005 and once in 2010. Both times the ground zero site has been blocked off and under construction, there really isn’t much to see. If you do want to see something then you had to go to the makeshift memorial and 9/11 museum, across the street (located at 209 broadway). It’s the trinity wall street church (St. Paul’s). I think it’s sad and rude that NYC would accept help from the church in a time of need, and then 10 years later when the time was to commemorate the event, the church is left out. F NYC. Well that’s how the left is I guess. do you consider racists the messenger, or should the blacks get their shit together?Edited by Artemis Entreri, : No reason given.

Obviously it had nothing to do with Bloomberg’s decision and that is the problem. I’ll wait for ADIN or MODS to make that call, I think it’s better to have less responses than more responses, as far as being polite/respectful to the site and the people that run it, and the people that use the site. Also, this FIB doesn’t take advice from cheese-heads, ever. In years past what are you talking about? In years past the museum, and memorial have been at an Episcopal Church.
I would let the Episcopalians lead the prayer, as they have been invested sine the 1st plane hit. I don’t care what prayers are said, and who says them. It’s not really charity if you have to ask. I don’t know.

look d00d my beef wasn't with people like you, it was with the haters like AZPaul3. I only took it up with you when you inferred that I was shooting the messenger. I wasn't shooting the messenger, I was defending against the racist. I understand your beef is explicitly with the church organization, and that is fine. don't talk no shit, there won't be no shit. he was talking shit.I guess this is Carte Blanche to criticize the NAACP all I want, and not be called a racist here? since they are an organization and not individual people, right?I'll take it as a yes from you and everyone who likes with your post, until I hear otherwise.I guess I can criticize the unions, without criticizing the workers.
I guess I can criticize Democrats without criticizing the people who vote democrat.
I guess I can criticize your queen without saying a word against you, or the Canadians.
I guess I can criticize the people who put in Gay Legislation, without criticizing the gay people.ok, that seems fair to me.

LOL. So Ill myself. I L L. I don’t get that one. Yeah I read it. Sorry I didn’t memorize ever single fucking line.Because it’s a big event, and they want representation this year, that is why. Are you advocating Vigilantism now? After an Ad hominem against billions of people, its hard for me to follow your logic. Please explain.

I’ll take that as you giving up. I just put that one in there for kicks. I know how things are around here, and I just wanted a quote from you on it.RULE 1 at evcforum.net: Anyone who disagrees with a pro-gay legislation is a homophobe, a bigot, and hates gay people regardless of what they post in their responses. I have experienced it, I know.Thanks for your reply but I don’t believe you. As you said earlier it’s a hierarchy, and it’s not an elected one. Speaking up really doesn’t do anything. I have left the church before, but I came back, the only protestants I could handle where the Anglicans (I actually quite liked them), but they were too close to the original not to come back IMHO. All the others were downright crazy, with their ant-gay, anti-science, anti-beer, anti-everything that is not praising the lord 24/7, and they were to much into a book that is extremely contradictory and ambiguous IMHO. So I am really not sure what I could to the help the situation outside of pray for better things. In fact when I say the Rosary I usually say it for this very issue. I go right past Jesus, and tell his mom. Edited by Artemis Entreri, : No reason given.

what a dodge.[Sarcasm]get called out and its ALWAYS just satire or a joke, I did not see anything in the post to suggest satire, joking or sarcasm. This is just a cop-out for being called out. I aint buying it. he is busted, let him come to his own defense. welcome to the department of redundancy department; would it have not been easier just to "like" Dr Adequate's post? Instead of repeating what was already stated. LOL, but you are taking to his defense. and now you are trying to dodge disparaging a large demographic of the planet. why the dodge? you can stand up or AZPaul3, but not for yourself? (that's odd).

not pissed at all. Just like pointing out the double standards and cop-outs here, that is all. plausible deniability strawman. I knew who said what. you just got defensive, because I went for you after you defended someone else. Repent and Be Savedyou guys want to get back on topic, now?Edited by Artemis Entreri, : No reason given.Edited by Artemis Entreri, : No reason given.

I didn't know it was a sig, Mine never shows up. all message boards are different, but the placement of a sig under the post with no divider is really odd compared to most message boards I post on. well that was never my intent, but if you want to read me a certain way so you can respond then i cannot stop you. why bother any time I make a point, then you say "oh i was joking" or some other bullshit cop-out dodge. thanks for this short lesson, I wouldn't waste my time trying to formulate something to say to you anymore.Edited by Artemis Entreri, : No reason given.

its not a sig because you type it out every time, otherwise the sigs on this site are divided by a grey line. I added my signature by clicking the box. this is the 2nd time you are being called out in this thread, lol busted. whatever d00d I am satisfied with calling you out and you being a childish asshole about it like you are right now.

LOLwell it takes one to know one and you are the biggest one.

ooh that is a good one did you come up with that comeback by yourself?roflmfaoyou got mad skillz!

have you ever been to church!?!I would choose the fines in a heartbeat.I fail to see how this is an establishment of a religion.
