    . From dolphins, monkeys to rape: the frustration is of the instinct to procreate.

    It's a fact!

    Ask anyone that very question.

    Ritual implies that it is repeated necessarily--it's what the word means. Be clear Bishadi, I know you can do it.

    Do those creatures have reasoning that includes complex higher order thinking and empathy? We are not animals, although we are creatures as those animals are.

    Ummm...I just did.

    answer th question.

    of better still: not even jesus was perfect and you know it.

    ie.... not a ritual, ever performed by catholicism, ever, that makes a person better than any other.


    Not jesus, moses, or any ritual performed makes one of "Ritual purification"


    bottom line; what your post(s) represented are LIES


    And i tell you all now, rituals are for morons!

    and felicity knows, in fact, they have never done a thing for a human being, ever!

    instinct darlin'


    The instinct to procreate is ALSO of human beings.

    I pointed out the INSTINCT to procreate can cause such a frustration that even dolphins, will rape other species let alone YOUR preachers to rape young boys.

    Do preachers have a complex higher order thinking and empathy, or are they just lying pigs that cant handle themselves, and should be 'tutored?

    i know 'we' are not, so stop misrepresenting facts. Use compassion and empathy as if your life depended on conveying what is real


    I meant, ask anyone human; "if they go without sex, can they become a monster?"

    If anyone of your brethren says no, they then are either lying, too old, never made love, or just another stupid religious wingnut (brainwashed) and dont know any better.

    But biologically, as living things, we either procreate or our parents DO NOT get to live, by our cause, into the next generations.


    It is universal and supercedes the stupid catholic doctrine, period!

    Well, that's true--one person is no better than another. We are all of infinite worth and dignity as the image and likeness of God. However, I do believe the Sacraments make us better people that we were before receiving them. For example. I know that the Sacrament of Reconciliation has made me a better person. I also know the Eucharist nourishes my faith and makes me stronger and better. I've experienced it. But it doesn't elevate my worth as a human being. It does make me better, though.

    When you get excited, your punctuation and coherence is lessened. Focus, Bishadi. Subject, verb, express a complete thought, and employ punctuation. It's really quite simple.


    I beg to disagree, Bishadi. I have experienced it in my own life. I have become a much more compassionate and thoughtful person as a DIRECT result of my ritual devotion to Jesus through the Sacraments.

    I am aware you're standard reply will be that I lie and am a moron. I understand that is your opinion. So be it.

    It appears you've got all the angles covered, Bishadi. You've created a question that cannot be answered because any answer that doesn't jibe with your view falls into some error you've already decided on. Since you know it all already, why do you rage against the "morons" and "liars?' Have you EVER found another that shares your convictions? EVER? Or are you a rock...an island unto yourself?

    He died with jewish members of my family in the concentration camps of the Nazis. Your people killed him there with such forms of "one way to hell arguments", Captain Nazi. Indeed god loves also his children who are drunken or are buying pull tabs in the basement (- although I don't know what this really is). He will also suffer and die with this children if this is really their only way. God may show new ways to everyone who lives in the hell of alcohol and drugs as a vcitim of drugs or as a victim of the victims of drugs. Today is the first day of the future. May the future be not as agressive and as sad as it was for you when it was your past and made you to someone who's misrespecting other human beings. Not to forget: Jesus lives - that's maybe your only choice - that's maybe your only chance.

    I'd be Catholic to if it weren't for the schism (sorry if that's the type of (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) comment you're talking about). I think a lot of people are a certain religion because they are born that way, but I respect Catholicism. I can't say I respect it more than other religions because that's not very nice, but I can definitely see its validations. I think early Christianity is one of the most interesting periods/developments in human history.

    learning how to deal with liars is what you are teaching me.


    i pointed out instinct and how animals can even 'rape'

    I used the concept of instinct being a driver of human beings and you claimed human are empathetic, when pedophile preachers (catholic as the worlds is now aware), are raping children.

    I asked if they are human?

    Or can you admit, some are just sick sobs, just like the liars that sustain the same lies as they do.


    If them raped children were told the truth prior, then your preachers, liars and morons, could not harm them

    I want people to know how to deal with people like YOU!

    It appears that by your style of argument, you perceive your job here is done! Congratulations!

    is it really "rape" in animals? If it's instinct, it's not involving "complex higher order thinking and empathy"--Rape is intentional--an act of physical and emotional manipulation, power, and betrayal. Animals acting on instinct has none of that--perhaps as an expression of power, but there would be no emotional investment.


    Yes. Rapists are human; they act inhumane. So, what motivates them is not the uncontrollable urge to procreate or to have sex, it is an action involving complex emotional damage and manipulation.




    Do you have any acolyte that have accepted your message? Really?

    my job?

    Have you even read job?

    My style of argument is direct and pointed. You cant deal direct and honest. My style is how to ask questions that make you answer them yourself.

    sex by force; pretty much. What you dont see, is i have addressed the homosexual issue and pedophilia of religious wingnuts, in one set of comprehension; dolphins aint gay, and the pedophile preachers are less than dogs.

    see how/why i say put the glass rod in their winkies, and break it.

    Put that disposition in the catholic masses and i bet 'god' reaches the MONSTER preachers, immediately.


    and what emotional investment does the child have and the preacher? The child is often ruined and the preacher is just 'forgiven' by punks.

    i aint forgiving them! Nor is any god.
    telling preachers that god don't want them to have sex is a 'complex emotional damage and manipulation'.

    So that one fits, perfectly!

    I know power corrupts, in the same way pwer cna corrupt a politican, or a policeman. Lately in Britain many politicians have been found to have abused their pwoer and authority. Though this does not mean that parliment and the house of lords is to be blamed for this misbehaviour. The ones choosing doctine are guided by the Holy Spirit, and if any Protestant does nto accept the infallibilty of the Catholic Church then they are also denyiny the authority of the Bible. The Bible came from the Church, not the Church from the Bible.
