To Tom's defence here:
1) In all probability Jesus, the foundation of our Catholic belief, was no more than a mere thug. He was some sort of gang leader, who wasn't accepted by the Jews nor the Romans and founded his own religion. Christianity started out as a sect and in a lot of things still is one. So the notion of Jesus Christ is ridiculous to say the least.
2) I don't think we should go easy on Catholics or the pope. The previous pope is responsible for a lot of deaths by forbidding things like condoms. As a whole the Catholic church is one awful bloody mess. I for one am not proud of what our Church has done in the past.
3) People only are religious because they're scared. They only believe in afterlife because they want to. As far as I know Christianity was still made by people and doesn't originate from some divine act. So please, Nick, let's keep things real here.
On the other hand, Tom, it's not a proven fact they're wrong either. Agreed, chances they're right are fairly low, yet you can't know for sure. So saying that they throw their lives away is uncalled for, because you can't know for sure.
It amazes me how much of a stupid, dipshit child you are that needs to grow up (report this post and have me banned because responding to this horsesh*t is punishment enough).
Do you not see what the discussion was about?
It was not about WHETHER Catholics are right..Muslims are right or Buddhists are right..its about RESPECTING ONE'S BELIEFS....
SUCH AS NOT SAYING THINGS LIKE
"In all probability Jesus, the foundation of our Catholic belief, was no more than a mere thug. He was some sort of gang leader,"
Basically that is pissing on people's beliefs and degrading individuals faith
furthermore your
"notion of Jesus Christ is ridiculous to say the least."
Is also putting people down and ridiculing their faith....
Seven, you're a sad sack of sh*t...
You only post to get reactions and its obvious you don't listen to what is beign said..
Then you CLAIM you are leaving only to come back and pretend its your "BROTHER"
Funny how your brother posts very much like you and has a way of knocking other cultures much like you...
You make me sick to my stomach.....learn to accept others and their culture/beliefs you moron
