One more thing before I finish up here. Considering that this entire thread appears to be people celebrating that the Pope has repeated something which was already Catholic teaching as if he has suddenly changed Catholic teaching, that is, various people have confused what some Protestants believe w...

Certainly. I think everybody already knows who I respect and who I have ABSOLUTELY NO respect for, so there's no point to say it again.

For the benefit of the handful of people here who are grown-ups: -The Catholic Church, having never taken the six day creation story in Genesis literally, has never had a reason to be against any theory of evolution. Once again, the Pope is doing little more than repeating Catholic teaching and you'...

I'd give a serious reply, but last time I did that, it was a waste of my time. I could explain why it's in the government's best interest to support heterosexual marriage, which is why it does so, and it really doesn't have anything to do with making people happy. I could attempt to explain that mar...

Though often I find the biggest idiot pool is the US Justice system... "Hey, lets throw you in jail for spanking your child, but if your child grows up and breaks a crime, lets make the parent liable for jail, fines, or lawsuits OMG" While we may have a deep disagreement on the topic of t...

1. Thanks, now I'm a grand tree that provides shade to the young ones to enjoy. 1337. 2. I'm not talking about people stopping me, I'm talking about someone not recongizing your marriage as valid. So if someone doesn't recognize a marriage... so what? Do we need thought police to force us all to re...

And people who think that "marriage" is only based on what someone says it should be is pretty retarded too. Rock, I declare that you cease to be a rock, and in my human arrogance, I will pretend that my words have made it so that you are no longer a rock. It isn't isolated to religion, I...

I wouldn't necessarily take that as an indictment against France, but rather I'd say that it's evidence that you can probably find a bunch of people to say something stupid no matter what country you're in.

This woman is abusing a loophole in the law in order to get more money out of her ex-husband. She would probably be doing the same exact thing if she was living with another man. Though the effort to use this to say that we need gay marriage is pretty laughable. People don't even know what "mar...

I guess it's all about presentation. This: and the nearest devout Catholic should immediately correct them for saying such blasphemous things. taken out of context, could give a non-catholic the idea that the church discourages people from forming their own points of view and opinions. I'm glad it ...

While some might pass through this post (and honestly, if you're not a Christian or any kind, it's kinda pointless anyways), I'm glad I stumbled into it. I saw the story on the Pope's remarks yesterday and on the first read, felt it was a slap in the face. Then the more I thought about it, I kinda ...

Media misinterprets pope.... again

I'm sure some of you have seen the media's version of the supposed remarks from Pope Benedict XVI that non-Catholics aren't saved, or some nonsense like that. Personally I'm getting pretty darn tired of what I think is the media's intentional misinterpretation of just about everything the Vatican an...

I don't see what the problem is with what he said. It's not like he said, "Yeah, those Americans sure taught us a lesson! Hurrah for their nukes!" He just pointed out the reason why the US resorted to nukes, and many historians argue that a lengthy ground war actually would have cost more ...

Also... you're making way too big of a deal about my comment in regards to Fox News. I'm sorry... but I can't understand someone being so defensive about a news channel.

Based on my own viewings, yes, I do think that the news networks you've named are relatively balanced. I still have yet to see anything indicating otherwise. So, you think CBS, NBC and ABC are relatively balanced as they claim and that all these accusations of left wing bias they've been receiving ...

So, do you think Fox News is fair and balanced as they claim and that all these accusations of right wing bias they've been receiving for so long were unfounded? Just wondering. You really don't need to answer with any more than a yes or a no. Considering the wording of the question, I would need t...
