This "all VII parishes are nutso" stuff is urban legend, mostly from the 100 or so examples found by the Remnant staff over a period of 20 years of searching.

It's the same 100 pictures, stories, etc.,--although now and then someone finds another one.

Broadsword, the Gospels don't print pictures of Christ. How do you KNOW he never smiled or laughed? Did He have a really sad childhood? Do you suppose that when those children approached him he gave them the "parental Eye?"

Good heavens, man--

I never said or even implied that or anything like that.

I never said that He never smiled. I never said anything anything like that or even implied that. I said that the Gospels recorded Him getting angry, cursing and weeping, but did not record a single instance of Him laughing or even smiling. I said that to illustrate that it is not necessarily unchristian to be upset with evil things, but you completely missed the point. I am sorry that I didn't make it very very simple for you. I'll try to make the rest of this simple so you can hope to understand.

If you really have a beef with me, other than dredging up your old hates and hurts, then that beef should have something to do with the debate at hand. Making things up and putting words into my mouth is beneath a Christian, especially one as self-important as you.

You should be able to do better.
