Catholics go bananas over a cracker!

[quote name='Unickuta']Have you ever even been in a Catholic school? Sure, the nuns are really strict...and they'll beat your ass if you do the smallest thing...but they're also the people that will always help out the needy when they can.

It's been known and accepted for centuries that nuns (and even Catholics) grab, smack, hit, and punch their students and younger members of their parish.

Of course, if it gets taken too far then there has to be some discipline or reprimanding, but honestly...this guy's a pussy. No other word for it, maybe asshole.



EXACTLY



You don't sound like you're worth a rat's ass...but seriously, you can't deny whethe or not Jesus existed- he did. The question is whether or not he's the Son of God (Christian belief), a prophet (Muslim belief), or just a nice guy with some friendly beliefs (most atheists).

And these same Catholics are the ones helping out the poor while you sit back in your mom's basement and enjoy life without God...[/quote]If i had a kid in a Catholic school and found out they were being hit by anyone, id' sue the school. I don't give a fuck what cooky cult you belong to.
 
[quote name='Magus8472']Ah yes, let's argue about matters of faith. It couldn't possibly end badly, and is sure to be productive.

How about we agree that Jesus is locked in a semi-perpetual state of both existence and non-existence? You know, Schrödinger's Messiah and all that.[/quote]
I thought that's what this board is all about.

And I didn't say it was successful, DarkSage.
 
[quote name='VioletArrows']Which would you rather have for someone who basically turned hundreds of thousands of people against you, your god(s) and your way of life? Infamy in the form of hundreds of public records stating some guy with charisma out the ass didn't have to lift a finger to start massive change, or to destroy all reference to everything he cared about, feed some dissenters to the lions and hope it fades away?[/QUOTE]

We know that Alaric the Goth was leader of the sack of Rome in 410 AD. We know that the Romans beat Hannibal at Zama in 202 BC. We know these things not because Alaric and Hannibal noted it, but because the Romans did. The Romans were meticulous about recording events, whether they won or lost. So that they'd never be troubled by the descendants of Carthage again, after they beat Hannibal and burned Carthage to the ground, they killed the men, sold the women and children into slavery, and salted the earth so that nothing could grow ... and they wrote it all down.

Even if they were glad to be rid of Jesus, the Roman records would have been slanderous ("Jesus Christ: charlatan and street preacher. *Finally* executed."), but they would at least exist -- an executive order saying to never mention him again, the command to arrest him in the first place, or early letters from before he became a problem, wondering what to do about him. But he simply doesn't exist outside the bible -- there's as much evidence for Beowulf or Ulysses.

Christ-as-allegory works perfectly well, so if I were Christian, this wouldn't bother me one bit. But it's far from "everybody KNOWS he was real."

[quote name='camoor']Also wtf is up with the last sentence? Catholics are the only ones who help the poor? You come off as pretty ignorant.[/quote]

Do you really think I'm being serious when I say you live in your mom's basement? lol, that was meant as a joke...I did write it too seriously.

OK cool. Sometimes it's hard for me to see someone winking on the internets
 
For anyone who still cares; final verdict is in from the SGA. They decided to impeach him from his Senate seat 33-2. Now he'll go through hearings on whether he'll be removed from the seat.

[quote name='RAMSTORIA']maybe next time he wont be an ass hat without thinking about it first[/QUOTE]

Eh. He'll probably just be a premeditated asshat, but at least the outcome this time was fair.
 
[quote name='lordwow']I don't really believe in religion either, but not agreeing with something is no excuse to go desecrating another group's beliefs or symbols.[/quote]

My thoughts exactly
 
[quote name='camoor']Christians have been coopting "Pagan" beliefs for centuries. Did you think it's a coincidence that Jesus died in the middle of winter and rose to heaven in the middle of spring (death/rebirth cycles of agrarian societies)?[/QUOTE]

Ummm.... where the hell did you get the middle of winter/middle of spring stuff from?

Jesus fit his whole resurrection into a long weekend.

Yeah I meant he was born in the winter and died in the summer.
 
Desecration of Host Not Seen as Free Speech

Confraternity Proposes Prayer Day in Reparation

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, JULY 30, 2008 (Zenit.org).- The Confraternity of Catholic Clergy is proposing Friday as a national day of prayer and fasting in the wake of the desecration of the Eucharist by a Minnesota professor.

Father John Trigilio, Jr.., the president of the confraternity, a U.S. association of 600 priests and deacons, sent a statement this week asking Catholics "to join in a day of prayer and fasting that such offenses never happen again."


Paul Myers, a professor of biology at the University of Minnesota at Morris, says he desecrated the Eucharist by piercing it with a rusty nail, then he threw it into the trash..

The self-professed atheist wrote about the incident on his blog and posted a photo of the desecrated host.

The statement of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy said it found the actions of Myers "reprehensible, inexcusable, and unconstitutional. His flagrant display of irreverence by profaning a consecrated Host from a Catholic Church goes beyond the limit of academic freedom and free speech."

"Attacking the most sacred elements of a religion is not free speech anymore than would be perjury in a court or libel in a newspaper," added the text.

Father Trigilio told ZENIT that the congregation is asking the faithful to make a holy hour before the Eucharist on Aug. 1, the feast of St. Alphonsus Ligouri, and to fast in "reparation for the sacrilegious desecration of the Holy Eucharist."
