Conservative, abrupt, and logical. I hold religion to be a deeply personal issue, and never a public one. Those who would force their religion, faith or superstitions upon the public, are to be more feared than terrorists at large. For terrorists know they are doing evil to obtain their ends. Religious fanatics, on the other hand, believe that their actions are inherently 'good', even as they trample the rights, dignity and lives of those they wish to 'save'.
I have little use for the self-religious. If you cannot defend an idea without resorting to religion, and/or your interpretation of scriptures; you are a either simply stupid or gullible, either way, devoid of individual thought. For each of us has our own religion, and interpretations; Buddhist, Muslim, Atheist, Christian, Jewish, Wicca and Satanic are all equal under the laws of the land. Logic is the only common trade piece."
Did you have something to add to this discussion? Or do you prefer the role of the sniper? What's on your mind? Pasting my home page doesn't embarrass me. I wrote it, I stand by it. Using my words in a manner to try to intimidate me, simply makes you look foolish.
How does a politically non-religious stance apply to a religious question concerning the bureaucracy of the Vatican?
I had a question about Catholicism, did this question offend you? The intent was to ask a serious question. No one else appears to have been offended by my question. Would you prefer I get my facts about Catholicism from a non-Catholic source?
I was pleased to get 2 serious and polite questions to what I thought was a simple question. Now I understand the role of the Pope better. The Pope acts as a 'President' of the Church, leading as he sees fit - for the benefit of the church. As such, he must manage (as best as he can) various Bishops, Cardinals and others, from various sects; each with varied interests. Thus, questions, disputes and arguments will be normal for this position.
