How "Christian" of him!!

[Boris Godunov]

Hence my response, 'Render unto Caesar'.

Then what the **** are you still *****ing about? You just said you wanted the church to get money because of some fantasy you have about the government giving money for gay sex, but here you're saying otherwise... I have to ask, are you really so dumb you can't keep track of what you've said from post to post, or is this just mental derangement at work?

If we can agree that the church shouldn't get any money from the government, for whatever reason, then there's no point to continuing this. Let the church subsist on the $$ it can bilk from it's own gullible followers, I'm fine with that. Fools and their money...

Is an IF - THEN statement so difficult to understand.

If gay rights charities are being funded by the government, then the Catholic church should be getting some funding too.

My preference is no funding for anybody, as that's not the proper role of the government. You with me on this one Boris?

[Ben Kenobi]

How on earth would that apply to me? I'm certainly not the keeper of the money bag for the church, nor do I help myself to anything the church has. I don't want any of their money, I don't need it.

Finally, a real argument.

You don't believe in Christ. Like Judas, you'd rather bring down his church and his believers. Why should we believe that you have the best interest of the Church at heart?

I ask you: would Jesus look about the vast wealth of the Vatican and think it's a good and holy thing?

Yes, for the same reason he rebuked Judas.

I don't think the man who preached about how hard it would be for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heavern would think so. I think he'd be appalled by it.

And what makes you think you understand the word of Christ, when you don't even believe that he exists? Why would you listen to him when he says that it is hard for a rich man to trust in Christ, because he has his faith in himself?

Do you really believe in Christ, Boris? In what he says here about salvation, or are you just taking potshots out of envy?

Boris,

Is it a lie that the Catholic church teaches that homosexual relations are sinful?

BK and Boris, keep the ad-hominems down. Whether one of you is an idiot or doesn't believe in Christ isn't the issue here. Any more of those kinds of arguments and this discussion will be over.

People who don't believe in Jesus are stupid doodyheads!

There. Close the thread.

[Guynemer]

I'm not a doodyhead, YOU'RE a doodyhead, doodyhead!

How many threads do you need to say this in with Boris' name changed with half the active roster of posters on this site?

I'm starting to see a trend here.

I see you're also uninterested in saving Ben's soul, as you have intentionally sabotaged my Christian efforts to do so.

[Lorizael]

It's mostly just you, really. And now a little Boris since he's come back.

[Asher]

Not everyone has the balls that I do. It is regrettable, but a fact of life.

Everyone wants to say what I say, but too many people are aping the Americans in World War I and II and saying and doing nothing while the real men go to war.

BK is Poly's cancer.

Be nice to the cancer everyone.

If gay rights charities are being funded by the government, then the Catholic church should be getting some funding too.

Which gay rights charities are being funded by the government that are allowed exemptions from certain laws? Can you even provide an example of a gay rights group getting government funding?

As usual, you're incapable of grasping the point here: if the government is going to be giving money to charities (why they should be doing that rather than giving the money directly via welfare is beyond me, but that's how it is), regardless of the nature of the charity, they should all have to abide by the same rules. If a church sees a gay rights org getting money and wants some, too, they're more than welcome to get it--if they abide by the same rules. That's the only fair way.

If they don't want to follow the rules, as the church charities in DC seem not to want to do, there's no problem with that, they can just do without government money. But *****ing about other groups getting money that ARE following the rules while they don't get money because they refuse to follow the rules is utter nonsense.

I think we should just remove the RCC tax exempt status and let them do what they want.
