Sandman, I'm 50 so don't worry, you have at least another 10 years of raging hormones to look forward to.

Its a pattern, every BBS I've ever visited where religion was brought up, it is always brought up negatively by non-believers first Must be an insecurity thing.

Umm so are you saying believers think this is OK?

No, what I am saying is more atheists, and non-God fearing individuals will attack any christian related faith first, instead of the otherway around. They are always on the offensive.

2000 years of murdering people who dont agree, molesting kids, squelching science and burning and torturing thinkers, bilking old ladies out of their savings, keeping 3rd world countries up to their ears in kids with threats of hell if they use birth control, making children die because their parents trusted their sicknesses to god to cure, causing teens to commit suicide because they were gay and knew their religious parents wouldn't accept them, keeping mentally ill people in holes in the ground because you thought the devil was in them, torturing people until they agreed with you...

yeah i 'fear' god plenty or at least his wacko followers...anyone who believes in a perversion like christianity should expect an attack.

News Flash!

Sex ain't everything and there are many who don't place it in the top ten in their life. The world would be a better place if more did so too....

Eagler, if you took the Operation Flashpoint or Simms graphics engine and made it a sex simulation, it would be the biggest seller ever

I didn't feel Sandman was "attacking" the Catholic Church. He was commenting on current events is all. For that matter Mr. Fish didn't attack Christanity either as much as he presented his viewpoint, at least until his last post. Rather I agree with him or not I feel he has a right to express his opinion. Please, don't be so insecure in your faith.

My background is Irish-Catholic. Based on my experience, in Parochial school, as a small boy. I would as soon send my kids to the Teliban, for an education, as the Catholic church.

I've never met a Catholic that wasn't repulsed by this type of behavior (Priest/alterboy). The strange thing is... I haven't met any that were suprised by it.

It would be nice if the Catholic church actually acknowledged the problem and took measures to resolve it. I guess finally deciding to remove the "troublemakers" is a good start... Its about 400 years too late IMO.

I received an excellent education in parochial school. As I stated earlier, this has nothing to do with the Church, and everything to do with the choices made by pedophiles.

The Church doesn't have a pedophile problem, it has a problem with the way it has dealt with pedophiles.

Imagine a world without religion all together! (the number would be 100 fold in regards to death, no morals means death to many, think long and hard about this one, religion has saved many more people than it has killed. it just can't be measured)

Wow! We agree on something!

oh, i see. humanity wouldn't be capable of having a moral foundation without religion.

it's not that our invented religions already echo our inherent understanding of morality.

all religion is - is the value system we already know is right backed up by threats and illusions of superiority to it's members.

any good that religion brings could be accomplished just as easily without the dogma. charity? goodwill? helpin' your neighbor? all of that can be accomplished of our own volition. do you need threats of hell? i don't but some people don't motivate them selves unless threatened i guess.

i don't think the vast native populations exploited and destroyed by missionaries because they already had a sprituality would agree with you anyway.

i don't need an imaginary friend to be decent to people. the logic of the act is enough.
