Why I am not a Catholic (briefly)

Post Reply New Topic

Michael Moore in fact uses his money to help the disadvantaged. That's the whole point of his documentaries, which in fact have drawn attention to the needs of the poor, the under insured, downsized workers, etc. And now, he's lending his support to the Occupy Wall Street movement, speaking up for the 99% who have been left adrift by unregulated capitalism.
And when has Sean Hannity ever cared about those without? As I recall, he and the rest of Fox noise is on this kick so popular among conservatives these days, that if you complain about social and economic inequities between the super rich an the rest of us, you're engaging in class warfare against the poor, poor rich!

I also take issue with the Crusades and the Inquisition, as well as with the Catholic Church's multi-century record of hatred of God's Chosen People, the Jews, all the way through the Nazi era, where they sat idly by while millions were slaughtered.

There is no way that I would call that Papist.

Bataar, while I question if Pius XII actually did that, I am apologizing to you. This hate thread was started by my sayings on another thread and I did not intend for this to happen, and I did not expect to happen. I am sorry you saw this.

Martin Luther was one of the most virulent anti-Semites in Christian history. I also take offense because numerous evangelicals only like the Jews as part of a plan for Armageddon.

You mean while 6 million Jews were slaughtered? Around, 11 million total people were killed, but for some reason I have a problem believing you thought about the Communists, gays, Roma, and even other Catholics who converted from Judaism dying. I think you and the Catholic hierarchy are in unison on this one concerning your thoughts on those people.

(Sigh) While Luther in his later years had written some very ugly things about Jews, he never had those things put into action, nor did any other Protestant religious or civil leader. Considering that the worst history of Antisemitism was one of violent action, Luther hardly belongs anywhere the top of the list. And while Luther's hateful writings against Jews was used by the Nazis to justify their position, those writings had almost been forgotten till Hitler and friends had dug them up. In no way do any of these Antisemitic writings have any influence on modern American Lutheranism.

And to give you a little history; Luther wrote those things only in later life, after he had more than one catastrophic illness which had left his behavior and thinking erratic. A very good argument for organic brain damage can be made.

Have you read the Bible?

Bataar, while I question if Pius XII actually did that, I am apologizing to you. This hate thread was started by my sayings on another thread and I did not intend for this to happen, and I did not expect to happen. I am sorry you saw this.

I would like to add that the Catholic Church has a joint doctrine on justification with the Lutherans now... we actually agree on the matter

Hannity cares about defeating Obama, under whom black unemployment has increased to its highest level ever (16.7%). Also, by every metric you care to name, Obama has destroyed the economy. Protestors shouting at rich executives doesn't do anything, and Obama knows it. He still gets the huge campaign contributions from the very same rich corporations these OWS people he claims to support are protesting! He likes a good rabble, so he keeps stoking it on. Again, HE is the PRESIDENT. HIS policies have hurt these people who are protesting, along with the rest of America. So WHY aren't they protesting HIM?
Call in to Hannity's radio program sometimes. Lemme know when, I'd love to hear it.

I've chosen to assume that LjosalfrBlot's and LKL's error is already apparent to all -- that any comparison of God's rights to human rights is going to be flawed from the start. Why they think this makes no sense I cannot tell.

Who are the "we" you are talking about? "Your" sodomy laws were enforced until the U.S. Supreme Court stopped them with a jurisdictional case involving Texas: LAWRENCE et al. v. TEXAS http://docs.justia.com/cases/supreme/539/558.pdf

The laws are "still on the books", but blocked by the federal courts (in June 2003):

"Blackstone managed to impartially chronicle then-current statues, dated from the reigns of Henry VII [sic?, VIII] and Elizabeth I. Such statutes made sodomy a felony punishable by death." "Journal of law & social challenges, Volume 2", University of San Francisco School of Law, 1998, page 71. and:

SUBCHAPTER VII. OFFENSES AGAINST PUBLIC MORALITY AND DECENCY.
Article 26.
Offenses against Public Morality and Decency.
§ 14‑177. Crime against nature.
If any person shall commit the crime against nature, with mankind or beast, he shall be punished as a Class I felon. (5 Eliz., c. 17; 25 Hen. VIII, c. 6; R.C., c. 34, s. 6; 1868‑9, c. 167, s. 6; Code, s. 1010; Rev., s. 3349; C.S., s. 4336; 1965, c. 621, s. 4; 1979, c. 760, s. 5; 1979, 2nd Sess., c. 1316, s. 47; 1981, c. 63, s. 1, c. 179, s. 14; 1993, c. 539, s. 1191; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c).)

"Your" stance involving rape sounds very familiar, as in other posts elsewhere, namely:

Well I see the supposedly optimistic outlook of one of the "Good Old Boy" candidates in the 1990 Texas gubernatorial race is still showing some signs of parasitic life from similar devotees of finding the good in crimes against individual rights and other crimes of macabre inhumanities.

I know our Vice Principal told me and everybody else that we all better just keep quite and not tell anybody anything, but someone still called the police. Being raped with brute force by a High School teacher during seizures didn't have any positive points, but the Vice Principal and police managed to suppress the negative points through intimidation. You would probably label it great service, and add the quip to "Relax and Enjoy It," just like Clayton Williams did about the Texas weather and rape.

In regards to "stop looking for someone to wipe your a**, " there were plenty of witnesses that related my teacher's attack on my epileptic body until he took off running, and I then appeared to be only concerned in getting my pants up and running off in the opposite direction, without any concern of wiping anything. For the first two times, I was more concerned with hiding my bloody butt than getting somebody to wipe it, but this still got me teased for messing by pants on the school bus rides back home, of course I got my own bus seat, because nobody wants to be near squishy bloody butt boy, though I should look on the bright side, since any one of those poor people in New York City might at any moment be selected by the vile few of the many general enforcement to get it with anything from a toilet plunger to a billy-club.

Whining is good, because lucky people tend to complain much more than the unlucky dead people.

And as far as the Great Religions Go:

I was told that God was speaking through me when I was kid with my bouts of "speaking-in-tongues." A somewhat hostile atitude was held against medicine also, somewhat along the lines of Mary Baker Eddy, but with my deja vu near perfection at times, I wondered about predestination much more. All of the more minor churches were very unstable, and anybody kissed-by-the-gods with epilepsy alternated between being regarded as Holy, and then Satanical.

I didn't grow out of epilepsy in adolescence, but I grew into additional neurological problems with epilepsy, and again religion was usually directly involved, with seizures and the Bible mixed with sex and rape. One theologian pronounced my ocassional priapic seizures during my clusters of seizures as the Father's curse, and I didn't know what the guy was talking in a rave about, until a couple decades later when I read the book "The Poisoned Embrace" by Lawrence Osborne, and the written 'Scientific Account (read anti-Semitic myth) of the male menses, recorded by Thomas de Cantimpre in the 13th century. My monthly clusters got me a lot of teasing about it being "that time of the month" for fairies. When the fathers of the church r******d to murder of others involved to force my favors and silence, I escaped and ended up living off the streets, much like an epileptic version of the movie "My Own Private Idaho."

The talk about gay marriage here in California has also again raised the spectre of marriage laws prohibiting people with disabilities not being allowed to marry like it "rightly" used to be before Atheists and Humanism "took over" the great country, with epilepsy being the fanatical subject of debate involving circumcision being God's cure for epilepsy with USA "medical evidence" being central, and bizzare third world "medical evidence" proving "female genital mutilation" curing epilepsy, as "it is in" the B***e and "even in" the K***n.

While I've been in Federal Court involving medical evidence and many treatments with epilepsy being counter to my religious beliefs, and the EEOC and SSA taking an all or nothing approach, the last church I was closely involved with, again ended in sex scandals, this time making it even on Youtube, with the leader chasing a masseuse around a table stark n***d demanding a "q*****e." Then our local U.S. Congressman told a self-proclaimed "conservative terrorist" that such a declaration makes a true patriot. With all the well armed t** partiers drinking a strong, strange brew straight from the "true American religion," handing out copies of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," and declaring every other church "cults," I don't want to be the epileptic J** they decide to burn at the stake because my seizures make me a "fairy Satanist."

I looked for Brenda J. Robinson's book on a Kindle, but I found the book "Mad Church Disease: Overcoming the Burnout Epidemic" by Anne Jackson. With Uncle Sam teetering on popular insanity, the title might be taken a bit too seriously, and strict quarantines established to protect whatever's true at the moment.

and as I noted here:

Before adolescence I was often called "creepy" for speaking-in-tongues, foretelling the future, and reading people's aura.

During adolescence, I was often called "creepy" for my simple partial seizures skewing my verbal behaviour, and for my large Becker's Nevus, but most everyone who seen my Nevus still wanted to pet it, which seemed to make them more creepy than me (mine was more "Satyricon-Hadrian-Creepy-Mann" silky and dense, larger, left chest, and with a Janus-Antinous spectre upper divine neurological "nipple effect" from Priap** furry-left to the innocent Tadzio right, than the example often at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CoBvwhPXqg ).
I still wonder if the social joking with periodic seizures is very common, but one theologian pronounced my occasional Priapic seizures during the clusters as the Father's Curse, and I didn't know what the guy was talking about while in his ranting rave, until a couple decades later when I read the book "The Poisoned Embrace," by Lawrence Osborne, and the written 'scientific account' (anti-Semitic myth) of the male menses, recorded by Thomas de Cantimpre in the thirteenth century.

Late adolescence and early adulthood, I was "creepy" for already "deja vu" pre-knowing many people and for many perfect/near-perfect university exam scores (some professors punish students for having great scores!! !).

In adulthood, I was "creepy" for having complex partial seizures, secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures, 100% failed job interviews (with many aspects recorded with many synonyms of creepy), many Rehab discrimination lawsuits, and lately, I'm "creepy" for the way I walk and for my having to use a GPS to know where I'm at and to get anywhere, or to return from anywhere (I'm going to have to try a 360-degree cam for public excursions since my "creepiness" has received threats of "helpful" violence from the public and officials, but I've been luckier than people in Fullerton so far: http://www.fullertonsfuture.org/2011/th ... -standard/ .

Now being labeled as an autistic "ret*d idiot-savant" over being catergorized with Asperger's Syndrome expands the spectrum of the Great Gods and their Wonderful Churches.
