Pope sends direct message to Ben

[Kidlicious]

From one point of view, christianity is the absolut control tool for the elite.
A bunch of guilt - ridden people running around asking for forgiveness with all the introvert guillible, retractory, defitism mentality that that entails.

And on the other hand it's the greatest thing on earth:
love your neighboor, everyone can be saved, be kind, humble, have someone on your side when life gets difficult, believe in something greater

it's in the way that you use it

If you are guilty you should repent. Guilt, anxiety etc.. are good thing. Love your neighbor confirms that you have repented for your sin.

[Bereta_Eder]

you can't unconditionally love your neighboor because he may be an assh@t.
else you'll end up like those polynesian tribes that got completely extinct because they have a non violence culture and didn't fight back at the corporations.

in all things moderation

Yes, you can unconditionally love everyone. You have your priorities messed up. Number one should be righteousness.

No way! Even WOMEN?

It's a trick. Women aren't people.

[Kidlicious]

Even men.

You know the Presbyterian Church in the US recently voted to sanction gay marriage right?

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America voted back in 2009 to allow for gay Pastors in committed relationships (prior to that gay pastors were allowed, but had to be celibate). More than a few gay folks have been married in the ELCA (including my former pastor, who moved to an ECLA church in Minnesota; ie, American Lutheran Holy Land ).

It's only a matter of time, but all Christian traditions will come around to this point. The anti-homosexual Christian rhetoric will be seen as the pro-slavery Christian rhetoric is today. His truth is marching on.

Why should I be a member of a church where the pastor is married to the same sex? Is he going to teach me something?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Hopefully.

[Sava]

Is he going to teach me something?

Yeah. Be nice to other people.

[Kidlicious]

Hopefully.

Is your philosophy "those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."
