Miracle Of The Sun & Other Musings

This is an old systemic disease in your church that has been festering for centuries so stop with the bad apples crap. The whole edifice is rot of morality, corruption of body and soul and evil disguised with a halo.In a just world your religion would be anathema to all mankind, forced to divest of all its properties and dissolved into oblivion.

The organization that empowers them, protects them, aides and abets them, is not.

I got dibs on the mitre.

So Mary is a god-creature like satan, jesus and jahova, each with their own god-like powers. And Mary now comes in an extra-virgin flavor.Well, I guess if you can do that for olives why not for rape victims.

Never seen anything like this mercy out of any of the Abrahamic traditions.What's that called? Bait and switch marketing?Can be effective. But at this level, that's just fuckin evil ... again.Do you guys do anything but evil?Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Since in most cases a church doesn't sell its buildings without properties more appropriate to its future in mind I would guess the funds from the sales would go pretty much directly into escrow on the new properties.As I understand, most of the national and international cults like the RCC and its protestant hangers-on have rather restrictive cannons on the purchase and sale of properties. If it's not into a specific building fund set up for that purpose, the cash flow is usually into the operating accounts of the archdiocese.

Don't let go now there boy. You're almost there. Just get rid of your god and the satan that made him and you too can join the real world! In the reality of this universe your fate is to just cease to exist. No more you. Nothing. Just like there was before you. Nothing. No everlasting of eternal torture in some lake of fire. No wailing and gnashing of teeth. No unheard pleas for mercy and cries of anguish and pain for all time to come. Nothing ... for all time to come.Oblivion is not the happiest of prospects, not that we have any choice, but it sure beats the hell out of the crap your selling.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Uh, no, no it isn't.Your satan has convinced you you are afraid of your own god.Anythin' but hell, Masser. I obey, Massar. Please don't hurt me Masser.

Tangle, your are missing the development here.We have agape love now. WhatisCatholicName said so.We all bask in the gentle warmth of god's infinite forgiving love. All is well. All is forgiven. Sin can be no more because all sin is forgiven by his infinite agape love. The prodigal son is welcomed back into loving arms once again. All shall ascend the golden stair, the blasphemous pedophile hand in hand with the jihadi. All humanity is finally embraced as one and all shall enjoy the life and the love eternal.Which means there is no longer a need for a church. What's a church going to do? Recruit members to enjoy what god has already given everyone? Waste of time effort and money now that agape love is here.Dissolve the church. Sell the assets. Give the proceeds to those poor whose agape love hasn't flourished into paying all the rent just yet.I still got dibs on one of the mitres.

Why? I thought it was all done. We got agape love from god now so his infinite love and infinite forgiveness clears all sins for all humans for all eternity. We all get in ... for free.So what is left to discuss?

Way above my pay grade. Gonna have to talk to Personnel. I donno. What's he do with our nature now when it happens?Then again, I can't see how copping a couple of solid gold place settings off the Divine dinner table will even be noticed so easily forgiven and more easily replaced. Seems the view of what's a plus and what's a minus in human nature would have to be reassessed.Whatever it is, Phat, his agape love, his infinite love and infinite forgiveness, will set it all right. He won't hurt us anymore.

I've always known god. We go way back together. All the way back to when I first invented him in my mind. This understanding is not new.

Had to know it was coming.

You know my answer to that: none of them. They're all embellished myth, Phat.Religious tenet and truth do not play well together. This is one of those tenets you may want to re-examine.You think you can grab the golden ticket by convincing yourself (let me say that again) by convincing yourself you are a true believer?Only you can gauge the depth of your doubts. If you're not convinced ... He will hear your mind!Believing the future of your eternal soul teeters on the edge of hell by the thin thread of your mood as swept between extremes on a constant basis by your blood sugar level has got to make life intense.That has got to cause ulcers.

Catholicism.
