Anyway, that’s not the reason for my post. The first reply to this article caught my eye. Someone calling themselves “Ken” posted the text below to which I replied, but seeing as though their comment system seems a little screwy I thought I would share it with you here as well.

- Atheism itself is a faith based system.

No. Atheism is the lack of one particular belief. How this can possibly constitute a complete faith based system is beyond me.

- The atheist believe by faith that nothing created everything.

I can only assume this poor deluded individual is referring to the big bang theory which states everything was compressed into an impossibly small point. How everything can suddenly become nothing at all is a question I will leave for the reader. It is interesting to note that many theists also accept the big bang theory – all that is required to do so if you’re a Christian is to treat Genesis as allegory or symbolic. Moreover, the big bang (or any other scientific theory) makes no mention of the supernatural since it strictly deals with reality.

- They know they ain’t no heaven but the y pray there ain’t no hell.

I know no such thing. You have claimed there are these realms but have been unable to provide sufficient evidence to prove your case to anyone who raises a single question.

- As far at the catholic church goes, faced with declining numbers entering the priesthood the standards were relaxed and known homosexuals were allowed into the priesthood.

Pedophiles and the sexually repressed however have been allowed in for years.

- The rule forbidding priests to marry women is often cited as the reason priest molested boys,

By who? Where? I can only speak for myself, but I have never been attracted to young boys if the women were not interested. Is your character so flexible that you can change your nature at will?

- well the priests are having sex with women because they are homosexuals allowed into the church by a pragmatic church government that put money before morality.

What? Why would a homosexual have sex with a woman, and why are you equating homosexuality with pedophilia?

- Ironically the churches stance against homosexuality is cited as the reason the young are staying away.

Now you are really losing the plot.

- Maybe it simply that they do not want to molested by a homosexual pervert dressed in a roman collar.

Maybe more and more young people are receiving decent education and seeing the church for what it really is – a wealthy, political powerhouse preaching abstinence, humility, constraint, purity and self denial while it hordes billions and spreads misinformation and death across the globe.

- The homosexuals also did a nice job of covertly getting homos in the church and destroying it from within…a deal made in hell by them both.

Frankly, I think the church fucked itself by demonstrating amoral behaviour, bigotry, violence, intolerance, cruelty, and hypocrisy since it was founded. I will not weep when it dies.

“The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world?” was a debate, presented from London by Zeinab Badawi which aired on BBC World November 7, 2009.

It stands up for the oppressed and offers spiritual succour to billions say the Church’s supporters. But what about the Church’s teachings on condoms, gay sex and women priests, ask the detractors.

Speaking for the motion, Archbishop John Onaiyekan and Anne Widdecombe MP. Speaking against the motion, Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry.

The voting gives a good idea of how it went. Before the debate, for the motion: 678. Against: 1102. Dont know: 346. This is how it changed after the debate. For: 268. Against: 1876. Dont know: 34. In other words, after hearing the speakers, the number of people in the audience who opposed the motion increased by 774.Similar Posts:
