That is part and parcel of the sado-evangelist ethos.
It's the most charitable and accurate label I'm comfortable using. You're quite welcome to avoid my posts.
I'm not about to concede that the RC edifice has a monopoly on "catholic."
I don't think the whole edifice any longer qualifies as a bonafide Christian Church.
And, it's chock full of 1600 years of fossilized, encrusted, !!!!TRADITIONS!!!! of men, doctrines of demons and the like . . . utter destructive hogwash . . .
as one would expect of any 1600 year old HUMAN institution.
That's the REALITY from my perspective, reading of UNRUBBERIZED history books and my UNRUBBERIZED Bible.
I encourage y'all to
DEAL WITH IT.
THIS FORUM is NOT some idealized fantasized archetypal MARION EARTH MOTHER cozy little lap and nurturing bossom.
This is a somewhat moderated free-for all of RELIGIOUS ideas, convictions, perspectives, realities etc.
WHICH MEANS that the RC edifice does NOT hereon have a lock, death grip on the boundaries, definitions, terms, interpretations, constructions on reality thrown about hereon. Hopefully, the days are gone when the RC whining hereon seemingly compelled biased or easily manipulated RM's to kowtow to RC sensibilities, whining and thumb sucking like they would to no others.
This is NOT some mutually flattering context of a cozy Parish hall or friendly BINGO game.
DEAL WITH IT.
NOW, GIVEN that the gauntlet seems to be cast toward talking about sadistic stuff . . .
Which INQUISITIONAL torture would you like to discuss first? And by what criteria do you wish to compare such INQUISITIONAL tortures to my mere words? And how do you propose to stifle the guffaws over the silliness of comparing the Inquisitional tortures to my mere words?
Actually, the RC edifice is rife with historical TRULY SADISTIC treatments of those not kowtowing to it's POLITICAL POWER MONGERING EDICTS. So, I guess I would have to concede that the RC edifice is far more the expert on sadistic actions, edicts, pograms and the like.
Yet I'm the one labeled sadistic? Fascinating.
No wonder the Bible is so challenging for the RC edifice to interpret and simply follow, obey.
Dude, check out #235 and see what I got out of a one sentence deployment ;o)
Just think of what I’d have gotten if I mentioned the thread where the guy claims to have found a UFO landing strip in Antartica with Google Earth!
