Catholicism: Your view?
 

Hello all!
Since it's chirstmas time I thought I would add a little bit of religion to the place, prepares for the worst I think it's a fantastic religion because I am RC myself, the reason, because I dislike singing so I don't really care for protestantism, I also like the secretiveness of the sept and the fantastic architecture of our churches.

I like the cathedrals.

yeh but that was quite general

Yes it was.

What do I think? Not much to be honest. Much of my family on both sides is Catholic and are still pretty open-minded about things. Western PA has a lot of Christian denominations running around, so it's all come to mean the same thing to me, really. However, without Catholicism we wouldn't have cathedrals, and I do like cathedrals!

I like the molestation.

I'm pulling your chain. I don't like anything about Catholicism.

I HATE CATHOLICS, I HATE JEWS, I HATE CHRISTIANS, I HATE GOD...

This'll end well.

I HATE ANTI-SEMITES!

I hate the religion, not the people. Aside from the zealots and loonies, I hope they have their mouths stiched together

Christianity: One womans lie about having an affair that got REALLY out of hand.

Long live king of the gods, Zues.

Hahahaha. I can so see a great Bill Maher or George Carlen movie with that plot summary, if the second was still alive that is.

I WAS NAMED AFTER THE ROMAN GOD OF WAR!

And then I get in trouble for kicking butt. Seriously, I've never lost a fight. Sigh, but to get back on topic, I hate Christianity. Every time I so much as MENTION it, something horrible happens to me in a video game or life.

Where is Nate with his infraction beam when you need him?

It's a fact. And this is proving my point.

I think that catholics are off their rockers, and are quite evil. I cannot be bothered to elaborate on why right now, so I may later.

And MarsMudokon, we don't care if you've never lost a fight. You'd bette not be one of those cretins who go looking for fights. If you are, one day, somebody's going to give you a good pasting.

I love Jews.

I love their curls.

I am off my rocker and quite evil, and I don't appreciate you lumping me in with Catholics.

Jews are cuddly.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

To me, religion is just a bunch of self rightous men telling people how to live their lives. The Bible also contradicts itself alot.

No sarcasm at all, the italics are for emphasis.

...I...hate...jews...


It's like waddle dee. Sure, you want to cuddle it but it's EVILL!!!

No. He is genuinely in love with their penii.

There's no need to be so predjudiced. I hate Christianity, but some Christians I know are alright.

Their lack of foreskin fascinates me.

If I was circumcised, I'd miss my foreskin. I grow attached to every part of my body.

Happy Hanukkah.

The last anti-semite I knew I punched in the face. I may hate religion, but there is this thing called 'Respecting Others'.....

Catholocism: Stand up, sit down, pray, stand up, sing, sit down, pray, stand up, pray etc. etc.

Seems like a perfectly good waste of a sunday to me.

Nate's gonna come in here and open up a can of Gefilte fish on you guys.

THANK YOU INTERN!

and how old was this anti-semite, exactly? and why is Mars also bragging about throwing a few fists?

anyway, i have no particular stance on religion, but i don't hate any either. in my opinion many of the ones deemed stereotypically by society in derogatory forms are most probably the fanatic/elitist/extremist element of the religion. most of the time the calmer members of the same religion do not even condone the actions of the former members.

but Sunday's are mine.

He was my dad. Cuntmonkey had it coming. He also told a bunch of lies about me to my mother and then fucked off for good when I sent him an email that just had the words 'Fuck You' in them.

This conversation bores me.

Maybe that's why you're labled 'worst member ever'.


mumble...eyesight...mumble

That's charming.

this place is further down the pan than usual, tonight.

You're probably right.

Josh, you seem very angry. Do you need a hug?

Mars: Why would you hate jews? Out of all the christ-based monotheistic religions, theirs is probably the only one I can stomach. Do you also hate Robin Williams? Hank Azaria? Jack Black? They're all jews in case you didn't know (or at least were at one point in their lives).

As for catholicism, I tend to stay away from that whole mess. I've only had to deal with a few christian extremists in my life, and I couldn't tell you if they were actually catholic, protestant, or what. I follow some very basic rules in regards to all religions: don't preach to me, don't try to "save" me, and don't pick an argument with me about why evolution is the work of the devil because you will lose. If you can be tactful enough to keep your religion off of me and my genitals, then you're already on good terms with me. I only tend to dislike catholics (or any religion) as a whole when they do something outrageous like burning down an abortion clinic or jumping anyone dumb enough to walk home alone after a night at the local gay bar.

Well I shouldn't have expected a serious reason for your undying hatred towards religion, any of you, now I have to rant about how good it is and how I would rather flames as my sepulchre for being a believer!

I must firstly say that without christianity and Jesus you wouldn't have Christmas (Chirsts Mass) you inconsiderate, wankers!

Secondly, I too believe that zealots are an evil sub denomination of christianity but note that there are very few zealot groups incorporated with the Catholocism branch! When do you go to London and see the Greaitaii or Smyrnian Zealots walking around London with swords and guns killing anyone who does not renounce there athiest ways!
"I say, what about those athiests aye, how about we cause a ruckus and fuck them up a bit aye?" Says one.
"Indeed I agree, let us march from an underground sewer church in a horde!" cries another.

On another note, yes there are disgusting priests and clergymen that have molested children in the past but then there are accounts in all Abrahamic religions and Eastern ones as well!

Of course I must also write that ithout God none of you would exist and the fact that Biblical texts contradict themselves is not entirely true, if, like me you can place your hnd on an important object and say - "I have read the bible front to back" then you will know that there are more than one meanings for most of the book, there are poor translations from hebrew and latin to English, remember a church that can control what the origional texts are has more power! We are talking 13th century on here.

Then there is the fact that God is testing us all by making it hard for us to follow him, only the true believers will stick his cause!

Lastly I would like to say that wow, 32+ replies in an hour, my most posted topic ever! Merry fucking christmas. Rant over.

90% of Christmas's practices (christmas tree, gift exchange, feasting, etc.) are actually pagan in origin. It's all based around the winter solstice and was celebrated long before Europe even heard of Christ. Christ was definitely not born on December 25th, so any justification of Christmas being holy pre-Constantine is baseless.

Also you swore. You're going to hell.

Not true. The date of Christ's birth is uncertain, but it is likely not the 25th of December. They were already festival days for Pagans (Yule) and Romans, celebrating the rebirth of the Sun and the lengthening of the days. Basically, when the Priests were chatting the whole Christianity gig over with Roman officials, the Romans said 'Well, a lot of our culture depends on that festival. Can't we just keep that but rebrand it as the birth of Christ?'. Naturally the Romans were in power so they won.

Not really a valid argument to Atheists, plus isn't that also support for any creationist religion?

EDIT: See, I just knew Sekto would steal my religious trivia.
