More Stupid Religion Bollocks!

[giblets]

A neglected part of Christ's mission is that he came to break down all barriers between people. That is obviously going to happen progressively, something that conservatives have trouble understanding.

So you shouldn't lock your front door? I mean, that makes your front door a barrier.

[Asher]

Air, too. We should all be having sex all the time.

It's what Christ would have wanted.

[Asher]

You don't need to lock your front door if you never wear clothing.

Ack! Seriously?! I'll explain tomorrow.

[Elok]

Ack! Seriously?!

I'm going to guess "no."

[Kidlicious]

I still can't understand the entertainment value of acting so stupid, but some people get a big kick out of it.

[Dr Strangelove]

The Pope just approved the use of condoms by male prostitutes, no one else, just male prostitutes having sex with men. Condoms are OK for male prostitutes having sex with men because there is no chance of conception.

Please discuss;
For starters I'd like to point out that there are other categories of sexual activity where conception isn't an issue that he missed. For example, there's men raping old women, men having intercourse wih a woman who has had a hystersctomy, and last, but not least there are Roman Catholic preists having sex with boys or prepubertal girls.

[Barnabas]

He did not aprove it, he said it was incipiently moral, because the male hooker, even when doing something evil, tries to minimize the harm his behaviour causes by using condoms. And eventually that could help him realize than condoms are not the answer, but stop being a male hooker is the one. To stop doing evil instead of just trying to ameliorate it.

Why stop with male hookers? Why not extend the "incipient morality" to homosexuals in general, rapists and child molesters? Heck, maybe even married and unmarried heterosexuals might be considered incipiently moral for using condoms or other forms of contraception to prevent conception instead of just saying what the heck, we can always get an abortion.

[Nikolai]

I'll quote myself:

"Prisca, Junia, Julia, Phebe as mentioned by Paul in his letter to the Romans."

4 woman religious leaders (one being a Deacon!) in one letter.



In the Letter to the Romans, where he names 4 female priests! Paul was discussing the social situation at the time, where you had Roman woman standing up and speaking in church without being fully informed of the gospel. He mentions they were uninformed. A more thorough treatment of this is handled in Scot McKnight's (a New Testament scholar) book "The Blue Parakeet".

I don't have a problem with female priests, but you should check your facts. Those women you mention were not priests. They had positions within the church, but not as priests.

[Imran Siddiqui]

A Deacon is a priest. And Biblical scholars believe those woman to be priests in the early Church.

[Nikolai]

No. A deacon is NOT a priest. But it is correct that women were deacons in the early Church.

[Kidlicious]

I think deacons could tell the priests what to do.
