..and you don't get that it isn't what people will/may do, but what they should. HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 15/02/2013 04:22:26 AM
It is not psychology, it is not sociology, it is religion.

Just because most children will eventually play with fire does not mean that you don't tell every one of them absolutely not to.

Luke or Paul? Isaac - 13/02/2013 04:36:27 PM 799 Views
That is what I get for only having decaf coffee this morning... HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 05:43:57 PM 865 Views
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this point. Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:36:03 PM 722 Views

Hate to jump you again but are you sure you mean Timothy? Isaac - 14/02/2013 11:54:00 PM 860 Views
Yep, I ment Timothy HyogaRott - 15/02/2013 04:18:21 AM 820 Views

If "the bible is still the bible," then what of Deborah, Huldah and Phoebe, to name but a few? Joel - 13/02/2013 06:17:44 PM 949 Views
Why wouldn't it still be devinely inspired? Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:44:07 PM 852 Views
Um, because then God was lying when He inspired someone to write "this is not Gods commandment." Joel - 13/02/2013 07:42:15 PM 833 Views
You're missing a really key point Jeordam - 13/02/2013 09:13:32 PM 867 Views
You are using an epistle to say every word of all epistles is divinely inspired? Joel - 13/02/2013 10:00:36 PM 1012 Views
Let us take it full circle: The ecclesiastical authority of women Joel - 13/02/2013 10:21:26 PM 900 Views
Shouldn't you be able to answer this question from what you just wrote? Jeordam - 13/02/2013 11:02:28 PM 917 Views
Oh, certainly; I just felt like I was dragging you with me kicking and screaming. Joel - 14/02/2013 01:05:14 AM 877 Views
So Roman Catholic priests CAN marry, under tortuous conditions? Interesting.... Joel - 13/02/2013 03:40:48 PM 751 Views
A priest can't marry, but a married person can become a priest. HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 03:51:02 PM 799 Views
Heh, yeah, I guess I slightly mischaracterized what you were saying. Joel - 13/02/2013 05:54:05 PM 901 Views
There are a bunch of semi-Catholic denominations that allow priests to marry. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:06:13 PM 823 Views
That makes more sense. Joel - 13/02/2013 06:23:36 PM 866 Views
Here's my chance. I'm putting in my application. Palatine - 11/02/2013 04:20:52 PM 981 Views
Unfortunately it matters due to the power he has... Wibble - 11/02/2013 04:42:25 PM 914 Views
Religions don't work that way. They are full of moral absolutes. There is no flexibility *NM* Dark Knight - 11/02/2013 06:10:19 PM 443 Views
Of course there is flexibility. The minute their money is threatened they flex like mad... *NM* Wibble - 11/02/2013 06:25:02 PM 424 Views
I'd imagine Unitarians and several other religions would beg to differ Isaac - 11/02/2013 09:28:39 PM 898 Views
Hah, are you kidding? beetnemesis - 13/02/2013 02:20:54 PM 956 Views
You would like the Roman Catholic Church to do some good FOR ONCE?! Joel - 11/02/2013 08:00:26 PM 981 Views
Well said. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/02/2013 10:55:18 PM 479 Views
You give them too much credit. Wibble - 11/02/2013 11:19:06 PM 967 Views
Put on blinders much? HyogaRott - 11/02/2013 11:50:01 PM 889 Views
I lol'd. *NM* Wibble - 11/02/2013 11:54:09 PM 447 Views
Grant me Chastity and Continence, But Not Yet! *NM* Roland00 - 12/02/2013 03:35:26 AM 385 Views

You really don't know how human psychology works, do you? Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:28:23 PM 843 Views
..and you don't get that it isn't what people will/may do, but what they should. HyogaRott - 15/02/2013 04:22:26 AM 1019 Views
It's not religion, it's HIV or no HIV. Legolas - 15/02/2013 10:45:52 PM 804 Views
it's not HIV or no HIV, it is about what people should do. HyogaRott - 16/02/2013 07:02:36 PM 886 Views
Of course they don't have to teach people how to use condoms. Legolas - 17/02/2013 10:46:38 AM 795 Views
You're showing some glaring bias and hostility here Isaac - 12/02/2013 01:58:17 PM 781 Views
No, you are giving them far too little. Joel - 13/02/2013 03:33:03 PM 787 Views
The catholic church is significantly growing in Africa and with Hispanics. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 12/02/2013 03:41:54 AM 503 Views
Oh, that. Palatine - 12/02/2013 03:04:42 PM 746 Views
That's such a load Cannoli - 13/02/2013 01:39:45 AM 834 Views
Oops, I meant to reply here - As a catholic.....my take. Anonymous2000 - 12/02/2013 03:39:42 AM 913 Views
I'd say the chances are about as good... Dragonsoul - 12/02/2013 03:48:29 PM 1009 Views
So teh chances are excellent then! Good to know. Wibble - 12/02/2013 04:51:43 PM 854 Views
I doubt there's much of a chance of a real progressive. Stephen - 12/02/2013 06:38:14 PM 830 Views
IDK, two straight non-Italians? Will they put up with a 3rd? Has that even happened since Avignon? Cannoli - 13/02/2013 01:46:28 AM 876 Views
Who says Benedict/Ratzinger is straight? Roland00 - 13/02/2013 04:56:52 AM 779 Views
Don't think so, but the Italians will have to get used to it. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:34:24 PM 778 Views
This will be a very interesting time. Dannymac - 13/02/2013 06:27:41 PM 908 Views
He's retiring into a monastery in the Vatican, as I understand it. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:42:14 PM 906 Views
Now this would be interesting.... Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:51:40 PM 866 Views
Right now I would settle for making up lost ground... Dannymac - 14/02/2013 05:02:38 AM 772 Views
Pope Bene-victed... Raserei - 19/02/2013 07:56:17 AM 1060 Views
