I was born, raised, educated and a practicing Roman Catholic until 18. I also attended an evangelical church for years before leaving the Roman Catholic church. If you would like details on why I am now evangelical Christian and you enjoy polite discussions let me know.
I will note there is a lot of dung flinging going on here in the Religion forum. The various sides of arguments are all guilty IMO. Perhaps it is because I am new here posting and that makes it obvious. Perhaps posters here like it and I will get a finger lashing for being new and potentially naive. I can take it since Sister Agnes and Fr. Dolan loved to whack knuckles when I was misbehaving:)
And the beetles appreciate it!
We have learned from the ancient Chinese Master's treatice: the one written by none other than the great Who Flung Poo himself!
Perhaps??

We absolutely LOVE it!
It beats SELF flagellation all to he.. - um - heck!
