IMMIGRATION thread

[Gilrandir]

Yes, remember what Jesus said about rich men going to heaven and then look at all the riches the pope has...

I believe (but can't wager on that) that all the riches that the Pope has are not his personal ones but rather belong to the Holy See Inc., so he kind of rents them while he is in his office. When he steps down (as Benedict XVI did) he is left with what he had had before. Same like POTUS doesn't own the White House, but uses it at his discretion while being in office.

There was a guy around here back in about 2007 who refused to download Adobe Reader to read official documents to understand an argument. I suspect the frustration is similar to that.

I don't undersatnd whose frustration you mean. But the mentioned guy's reluctance is quite understandable to me. Once I succumbed to the temptation and installed a new version of Adobe Reader - and couldn't watch any videos full screen on my computer. So I had to delete the new one and search for the older one, and that took quite a time and effort. Perhaps he had faced the same choices and opted for the one I didn't take.

Not whilst they were killing, no.

Then let's introduce a new confession - intermittent Christians. Those stop being Christians in the moment of killing and resume the faith wiping the blood off their sword.

Christianity is a pacifistic religion, for all that Christians have rarely been pacifists.

And cannibals to boot. How can you otherwise term that ceremony during which wine turns into blood (of Jesus) and bread into flesh (of Jesus) both of which the faithful are to consume?

What is "Left Wing" Islam though? What about homosexuals?

1. I heard that homosexualism was a popular practice among Muslims:

2. Women are always homosexual (or bisexual), so what can we do with them in islam as well as elsewhere:

3. Leftist =/= champion of gay rights. In the USSR homosexualism was a crime, but no one denies that Communists belong to the Left.

The Church fathers all post-date Paul. You are thinking of Paul's letters and his disagreement with Peter. Paul was popular once the Church Romanised because he was a Roman but he was not the main source that the Church Fathers like Origin took their cue from.

When I read of Paul's adventures I had an impession that he was a rather obnoxious person - he was evicted from almost every city where he tried to preach, while such things are rarely happened/ were mentioned when others did the same.
