killing

enslaving infidels if you lived at that time?
I'm fairly well educated on the Church's moral teachings. I've given
them
quite a bit of thought, and 95% of them I have to admit are right.
Superficially, life would be easier if they weren't, but I believe we
are
called to a deeper and more profound existence. Now, the 5% is
problematic,
is it an acceptable margin of error? Who am I to think that I'm right on
that 5%, given that the Church has been right on the other 95%? She is a
human institution, and can make mistakes. However, She has a fairly good
track record over 2000 years. No other organization of any kind has even
lasted that long. So, I give Her the benefit of the doubt and obey the
5%
(sometimes it's a struggle...)
"Mostly right" doesn't equal "always right". It's time for you to grow up
and figure that out.
You really need to read your Bible some more. The so-called Ten
Commandments in Exodus 20 were given as part of a covenant. This
covenant
clearly states that if the Israelites obeyed the commandments God
would
give
them military victories and allow them to exterminate the people of
the
"promised land" and take their land.
True, but the Commandments represent God's will for His people, and now
that
everyone is included in the New Covenant, they are just as important.
God's will for his people included the extermination of entire nations so
that his chosen people could live on their land. I don't see how this is
morally acceptable.
It's relatively acceptable.
Why do you keep repeating this lie? I have show you many times that
this
is
factually incorrect. Simply repeating the same lie over and over
again
won't make it come true.
You showed a declaration of crusade, and couple of other quotes from
Papal
documents that were taken out of context. I showed several official
flat-out
condemnations of slavery and gave reference to many more. The weight of
evidence is on my side.
There was nothing taken out of context. These Vatican quotes were from
Catholic sources who agree with me that the Vatican has both approved and
disapproved of slavery at different times. Only a complete idiot like
yourself would think otherwise.
Hitler was a fucking Roman Catholic. See my web page at:
http://www.evilbible.com/hitler_was_christian.htm Why do you continue
to
believe the lies of the Vatican when they try to distance themselves
from
the truth? Once again, simply repeating the same lie won't make it
come
true.
Ol' Adolph was born into a Catholic family. Pol Pot was a Buddhist. So
what?
Let's hear it from the man himself:
"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together.... The heaviest
blow
that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is
Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The
deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world
by
Christianity.... Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the
life
of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things."
"Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against
nature.
Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic
cultivation of the human failure."
"The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When
understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian
doctrine
will be convicted of absurdity.... Christianity has reached the peak of
absurdity.... And that's why someday its structure will collapse....
...the
only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by
little.... Christianity [is] the liar.... We'll see to it that the
Churches
cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the
State."
"The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that
it
knew nothing of the two great scourges: the pox and Christianity."
You know what? He sounds like... an ATHEIST.
All these quotes are taken from one book "Table Talk". There are many
problems with this book. See http://www.nobeliefs.com/HitlerSources.htm
If
Hitler really felt this way perhaps you could find some quotes in his
thousands of other speeches and writings. The problem is you can't.
I see the lower birth rate in the richer countries a sign of growing
secularism, unfortunatly, and the selfish, self absorbtion that
comes
with
it. They have *more*, and they need *more*, and children interfere
with
the
getting and enjoying of *more*
And I see it as being generous to the next generation. Why would
anyone
want to leave their children to die of disease and starvation in an
overpopulated country that they created?
The countries with a low birth rate are the richest ones. We've
established
that. Hundreds of thousands of people immigrate to these countries
annually
and there is still more than enough to go around. So I have to conclude
that
folks in those countries (including mine and yours) are just too selfish
to
share that enormous wealth with children.
What a bunch of crap! (As usual)
These countries are too poor for birth control, and the Vatican is
trying
to
block humanitarian organizations from providing birth control.
You're stating to sound paranoid. Big Bad Vatican. BOO!
You have always sounded like a completely ignorant idiot. Don't you even
know what your church is doing?

No, Jesus wasn't advocating celibacy, he was clearly advocating
castration.
But I understand your refusal to obey Jesus. It shows you have at
least
a
little bit of common sense. It's too bad you only use it when your
own
welfare is threatened. Why don't you try using it when other people's
welfare is threatened?
(smacking my head in fustration) okay, we're hung up on the word
'eunuch'
aren't we?
I know how to read. You apparently have to make stuff up.
I think that early embryos, which are incapable of thinking or feeling
because they have no central nervous system, are not humans at all.
They
are human cells. There is nothing morally wrong with killing these
cells.
It is no different than throwing out a blood sample, a biopsy, or a
piece
of
hair with scalp tissue on the end.
The line! Where's the line? When the nervous system is fully formed?
Partially formed? When?
I'll have to crack open my biology books for the details, but I'm sure you
don't want details, you want excuses. A week old embryo clearly doesn't
have a nervous system, not even a partially formed one.
How many women know they're pregnant the first week?
At later stages, the fetus gradually gets more rights that go along
with
it's development.
I think the right to life is the only one we're concerned with. Liberty
and
the pursuit of happiness can come after birth.
So why does a clump of cells smaller than a pin head deserve a right to
life?
Why doesn't it?
You can't give a rational argument either way, not unless you can give a
*rational* argument for an objective morality.....which you can't.
You and the rest of you stupid-assed Christians obviously have one
fucked
up
definition of what a person is. A clump of cells is not a fucking
person!!!
The purpose of that clump of cells is to grow into a living, breathing,
thinking human being. And until *you* define when life starts (the line,
remember?), mine is the only definition we have.
Are you really that ignorant??? Do you really think that you have the
only
definition of when life starts???
Life continues.
Many people believe that a human has
rights starting at birth. Others think a fetus has rights when it is
viable
outside the womb. The Supreme Court of the US has a three tier system.
Notice that you didn't say the legislature.
You are moral the equivalent of a mass murderer because of your
support
for
the ban on medical research that will most likely save many lives and
benefit all of mankind.
Are we *really* benefiting mankind by destroying the innocents among us?
A clump of cells the size of a pin head is not a person.
begging the question
Don't be such a
fucking ignorant *****. Just because the immoral assholes at the
Vatican
say it is so doesn't mean it's true. Hell, they are so fucking stupid
they
think the Eucharist and sacramental wine are actually turned into the
flesh
and blood of Jesus by transubstantiation!
non sequitor
It's time you grow up and face
reality instead of living in your fantasy world of gods and ghosts.
I have it on George Tirebitter's good word that atheists can believe in
ghosts....and fairies.
Real
live people are dying because for *your* greed, stupidity, and willful
ignorance. Your immorality is shocking!
Who gives a *****? Mother Nature doesn't.
Like I said before, I don't know how you sleep at
night with all the immoral things that you approve of. It's obvious
that
your selfish and greedy desire for a place in a fictional paradise has
caused you to abandon all your intelligence and become a moronic idiot
who
simply repeats whatever the Church tells you to say.
Hey, we'll never get to paradise if we give up trying. Besides, what
about
your desire for a paradise were no one suffers from disease or
debilitation,
and lives to 150? All it will cost is some embryos, fetuses, infants...
I see you have to resort to outright lying to support your insane
argument.
I was talking about week old embryos not fetuses or infants. But I'm not
surprised that you are a liar. It's goes along with the rest of your
immorality. Nor am I surprised at how fucking stupid your lies are. It
goes along with your lack of intelligence.
Immorality is subjective/relative. If you say otherwise, your aren't being
rational. But rant on. It's amuzing.
It's time to face
reality and accept responsibility for the immoral actions that you are
doing, so that innocent people don't have to die for your stupidity
and
your
greedy desires.
Greedy desires? We're not the ones who want your 'paradise' or clones,
or
blonde haired blue eyed genetically engineerd super children...
More fucking lies. If you need to lie to support your arguments then your
arguments are probably wrong. Why can't you address the issue at hand
instead of making up a bunch of strawman arguments.
Hey!!! If you can make up non sequitors then we can make up stawmen.
Oh that's right, you
can't think for yourself, you simply blindly repeat what the Vatican says
and pray that will get you into heaven. How fucking moronic!
Is ranting what you call thinking?
Innocent people, that's right. Innocent people. We want to protect
innocent
people.
What a bunch of crap! You want to pretend that you are morally superior
to
others by claiming that you are defending innocent people. In reality you
are claiming that a clump of cells, which is smaller that a pin head, is a
human.
Well, it is human.
And you are letting real live people suffer and die because you
won't let them get modern medical treatments.
Who gives a *****? Mother Nature doesn't. Isn't the world too populated
anyway? Besides, if a person has the money I think they should be able to
grow clones for replacement parts.
No, you Christian assholes are fucking immoral idiots. You yourself
are
the
moral equivalent of a mass murderer. Of course you don't realize this
because you let your greedy desire for heaven overtake your
intelligence
and
rationality.
There's no guarantee of Heaven, ever. It's a gift freely given by God to
us
undeserving sinners. In the meantime, we have these lives on this world,
and
we're going to do our best to make Heaven here.
You insane fairy tale has caused you to support a ban of medical research
which will help cripples walk and cure a lot more diseases. You are lying
once again when you say that you are doing your best to make heaven on
earth. You are doing the exact opposite.
It all relative.
You said that the morally correct thing is to lock up Nazis, not
execute
them. Since the allies executed them, the only logical conclusion is
that
you believe the allies have acted immorally. You just refuse to
accept
the
logical conclusion of the Vatican's teachings, and like a robot you
blindly
accept them.
Yeah, but I also said that it could be argued that they posed a threat
to
people even if they were locked up forever, and therefore, executing
them
would be justifiable.
That's a pitiful excuse.
There is not an acceptable replacement for embryonic stem cells at
this
time. Every day that goes by means that more people are likely to die
or
remain cripples because of your insane and immoral beliefs that a
clump
of
cells is the same as a human. It's time you grew up and accept the
responsibility of your actions. You are the moral equivalent of a
mass
murderer. Wake up and smell the death at your hands.
The unfortunate people who may die or remain handicapped have had the
privilege of living lives. It is immoral to create a life and then
immediatly snuff it out.
Are you going to provide an argument as to why a clump of cells, smaller
than a pin head, is a person. No person I know looks like that.
People I know look like this: http://www.w-cpc.org/fetal2.html
However,
you do have a striking similarity in that you have no brains.
You are a fucking idiot who blindly follows whatever the Church says
because
of your selfish and greedy desire to get to heaven. You are morally
no
different than a suicide bomber.
That's quite a stretch. A suicide bomber murders indiscriminately out of
blind hatred (and the desire for 72 virgins) We do what we do for the
love
of the whole human race.
A week old embryo is not a human. You do what you do because you want to
feel good about all the illogical suffering that your insane religious
beliefs cause. You are willing to let real live humans die to support
your
church's fairy tale idea of biology. It's immoral as hell.
I don't see how the Vatican apologized for anything when it says that
the
Vatican can't sin.
The Vatican City is a sovereign nation, it's very small and wasn't
involved
with the whole inquisition thing. It's most famous citizen, Pope John
Paul
II, didn't have anything to do with it either, yet he expressed regret
and
apologized, hoping to find closure for the issue. Not good enough for
SOME
people! EvilEd has a looong memory! Though I doubt he was around 600
years
ago to witness the event, he's still psychologically scarred!
You need to accept your responsibility for the deaths caused by your
support
for the ban on stem cell research.
Okay, but you need to accept responsibilty for the deaths caused by your
support for stem cell research.
Dead cells, no moral problem. Dead people, big moral problem.
It's all a matter of opinion and everyone has one. There's no moral facts
for you to rely on to rationalize yours as being better
