FORTUNAE NIHIL - "Nothing to chance"

touche!

Well, it looks like I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't! So, Duster929, You say that the church should be the answer to oppression. Fine. But then you are implying that the church is being oppressive by pressuring their flock to be Catholics! You know, in a way you might be right, because...

I never said that. Adults have to deal with pressure, sometimes an unfair amount, as I'm sure everyone here knows. The church has its own rules, and if you don't like it you can leave. But the church itself is too big to be dwelling on "who left this week?" every Sunday service. No one from...

I didn't say it was easy, but if people feel like they are being oppressed, and they will not remove themselves from the situation because of outside influences, that's their problem. A person's character flaw should not be blamed on the church. Why is it ridiculous? I'm sure there are other...

Regarding the sexual abuse, it is as common than in other institutions than the Catholic church, roughly speaking. Prevalence of pedophilia among priests is slightly lower than in the general male population, while the prevalence of hebephilia is slightly higher. So the problems of society are...

People wrote about Jesus after he died, because that was when he was a Very Big Deal. Back then, messiahs came a dime a dozen. Why did people decide to write about Him? And why did His story reverberate through the ages, and not anyone else's of his time and place? Peter, who was written...

When you said this... I took it to mean that you did not believe that Christianity influenced Western society. If I'm not mistaken, you DID NOT "admit the fact that Christianity very much influenced how our society formed and evolved", and I couldn't believe it, so I said so. Why does this...

I did not use the year as an argument that longevity equals right. I used it as proof of Christianity's influence on Western Civilization. Also, remember that a long time ago, and even today, lawmakers and other influential people were and are swayed by their beliefs. I can't believe that you...

Are you doubting that Jesus was a real person? Or that he died 2009 years ago? I don't think you are questioning the influence of Christian values into our society, because that would be just silly:D Jesus as an historical figure is definitely not known for sure, since it did happen so long...

I respect everyone who respects me. The very first reply from him to me (in another notorious thread) was very condescending to me. I chose to reply back with an even BETTER insult, then he cried and put me on his ignore list! I've noticed that everytime he replies to someone's comment he...

The above picture is what passes for intelligence these days? Someone tell Vlad that Western Civilization was founded on the morals and principles of the Christian faith (just take a look at the year, it's 2009 years after Jesus' death!) Vlad shared the same dream as Josef Stalin and Mao...

You too? I'm in good company! If his ignore bin is filled with so many people, you gotta wonder; is the problem all of us, or just him? We should start a group - "People who Vlad Ignored", I'm sure they're good people:D Oh yeah, kudos to the idea of not cutting and pasting, although I am...

There are some fascinating calculations that can pinpoint with some reasonable accuracy as to where the Big Bang occurred, but there is yet an explanation as to how it started; Like I said, the physics of the Big Bang are still pretty much a mystery. The pioneer of the Big Bang theory, Georges...
