Is the Catholic church a force for good in the world?

[Ben Kenobi]

You are in love with the girl of your dreams, she's in love with you, and she's a better decision-maker than you are. The two of you get married. Years later - the honeymoon phase over - you disagree on a very important subject and cannot find a middle ground. Do you make the final decision or does she?

It would depend on the subject and what we disagreed on.

And if all of them said that you're equal in marriage, would you have to change religion again? I hope so because your are the biggest embarrassment to the CC.

If they taught that the Catholic church and the bible disagree on this subject, yeah I'd walk and do it at another parish. I've done it before.

Here's some news for you rah. There's no disagreement. Both the Catholic church and the bible teach the same thing that men and women are equal.

Aneeshm can be his token brown friend. I wonder if Ben lets Aneeshm use his bathroom?

I'm sorry Asher, I'm not the dude that tossed 'caste' into this thread. I'm also not the poster that tossed "Ganesh" in either.

I've no idea WTF you're takling about w.r.t "ganesh".

And "caste" is a clear reference to aneeshm's legendary threads speaking of lower castes in India with disdain, and his general support for the caste system.

'****.

You, of course, do realize that there are fundamentalists out there who believe the Catholic Church and the Bible disagree on a lot of stuff, right? (such as evolution vs. creationism)

They just don't treat them equal.


Go ahead and ignore the question you have no answer too. So I assume you have no real evidence and just made it up like you always do.

He asked what would be going through my head on judgment day, presumably as I plummeted to hell. In my reply I implied that hinduism was the One True Religion (hence he and I would be in the same boat), and Ben is now interpreting this as an attack on aneeshm even though nobody in their right mind would do so. Basically, just more dishonesty out of Ben.

God speaks to you in your head and demands you take your first-born child up on a hill and sacrifice him/her. Your wife objects.

WHAT DO YOU DO???

[Drake Tungsten]

Kill your wife, obviously.

Serves her right for getting uppity. It's not her role to provide input. Shut up and breastfeed me, and make a sandwich for the baby while you're at it.

Risk-taker... outside-the-box thinking...

You clearly were meant to be a priest.

All who question the will of God must perish.

Uhh, I was an evangelical prot. That's why I'd walk out on a Catholic priest who said that. If I wanted dissent, I'd return to being a prot again.
