Especially anti-Christian bigots, like Agathon

Well, better Catholic than protestant.

Congrats. Now the next step: agnosticism.

The Nordics are the most socially advanced in Europe. I guess Spain has improved somewhat in the two decades since I was there. I think Austria is a pretty decent country. China and India can't be called upcoming, because of their long history and great past. And does comparing Catholic vs Protestant nations really mean much with so many of these nations so secular?

Are the teachings of Jesus less civilized than the believers of Roman Mythology, for example?

I was talking about Christian countries, not just Catholic ones.

It's not my fault you said Catholic instead of Christian.

Someone's written:

we all know what a bunch of hopeless screw ups Peter and the apostle were

to which I've replied:

They created the biggest religion in the world, and the countries following it are the most advanced in the world. Loosers.

I've said religion. Christianity is religion, catholicism is a denomination. And there are slightly less catholics than muslims (muslims however are a group of denominations, so it's probably the biggest denomination in the world).
Your mistake.

All in good spirit Doc Strangelove, all in good spirit.

Oh, and Canada doesn't count, because it's just a dependency of the United States.

Oh, then does that make the Queen the head of your state?

I just wish we'd get rid of the tax breaks the rest of us pay for to fund your babbling and grovelling before a non-existent entity.

The reason for them, is because without this, much of the work that the church does would not be able to happen.

Go ahead, ignore every single charity set up to help alleviate the things that the government would just prefer to throw money at.

why did you convert again?

What, you don't believe Oerdin?

In heaven, everybody becomes catholic.

Why would they need to become catholics?
Only catholics go to Heaven!

Catholics: leading the Western world in infant production. They own that industry.

As for the Kerry thing, considering the way Kerry paraded his faith as a selling point to middle America, it's only fair to allow some portions of the church to retort.

id really like to know why.

[Ben Kenobi]

I posted some of that already to Spiffor, who asked how my beliefs had changed over time.

I converted when I could say that my beliefs were in line with the teachings of the Catholic church, and not those of the Mennonite church.

It makes her our lap dog, just like the rest of her countrymen.
