Priests look a lot like monkeys when they're dressed in their religious garb.

I’ve often thought that various religions should have higher standards for religious leaders as far as education goes. Having some background in science, psychology, history, and philosophy wouldn’t hurt.
The Presbyterian pastors that I've met have undergraduate degrees in Humanities, Liberal Arts or STEM. All are required to have earned a Masters' Degree as well. They don't ordain just any shmoe off the street who claims to have been called by God.


Same with the Lutheran ministers I've known. My pastor was educated for at least six years.

Another autistic Catholic here. The guy's an idiot.

John 9:1-3 (NIV)

[1] Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,

[2] and His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

[3] Jesus answered, "
Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him..."

It seems to me that if God created us to be "on the spectrum", it was not because our parents sinned, but because He wanted His works to be displayed in us, in spite of us being "on the spectrum"!

Sounds nice, but why would he create sociopaths, narcissists, and psychopaths?
I dunno ... why don't you ask Him?


I already know why. :) When 'The Creator' created this world he abandoned it and allowed the corrupt nature of humanity to take over.

Or he simply does not exist and people are just born that way without any deliberate reason.

Every forest has its deer and its wolves. Sociopaths, Narcissists, and Psychopaths are definetly our wolves.




I don't believe that. Why then would physically disabled people be created?

They say that evil is the absence of good, and that when mankind sinned therefore evil entered the world. It's a sort of family inheritance. I'd put more but that's in reference books in the back of the house and I'm posting from the family living room computer and any more attention-getting behavior is going to make people think I'm even more cuckoo.

The one who makes the most sense here is Fnord. Also, Fnord--about any schmoe off the street who claims to be called by God--I don't think ordaining people like that as clergy is a good idea either. I went to train to be a Catholic priest once. I got on the honor roll but did so badly socially that they discovered I was autistic...maybe it's good I'm not there. We were expected to have a degree in Philosophy & Letters, and then a degree in Theology, when finished. Two Four Year Degrees...plus whatever else the bishop decided we must learn.

Then again, this guy is in India. Things may be different there regarding education.

Cockneyrebel: whether they look like monkeys or not has no bearing on the issue. I haven't much regard for the 1970s Mod culture you seem to like, just as you might not approve of my 1890s-1930s inspired wardrobe, but we can agree on plenty. Appearance is nothing really. I just think it's cool they've been wearing the same clothes for the last 1000 years. How often does the laundry get done? :D


As an aside--could the reason people go to these guys for advice on marriage, childraising, whatever, be that they are respected in local communities? I mean--let's not be so specific here. Sounds like talk radio--"If you ain't a gun-totin' knuckle draggin' republican we don't wanna listen to you roun' here because Amuricuh!" I mean, people listen to them because in many cases they are RIGHT. Unfortunately, the paedos and the morons make the news...Same with politics and mass media entertainment, if you have been watching.

I get a little annoyed when people say that the truth is only valued based on who's telling it. Notice that the ancient Hebrews were a tribe of veritable savages whom God, in the Mosaic law, had to tell in full detail how to take a s--t in the desert (yes, there is a quote detailing the little trowel they must carry, for...Leave No Trace backpacking, I guess?) Anyway, these people ended up being the glorious race of Jews. Which is way cool. I think there's a common motif in Christianity of using the least valued people to make the greatest impact for good. Which is nice. The alternative, though, isn't very rational. Truth is truth no matter who is telling it.

Maybe he created them because he's not the loving and merciful god every Christian thinks he is? Or he simply does not exist and these conditions are merely an accident of nature?

God creates a lot of things in my opinion that makes no sense.

Like why would he create homosexuals like me and then say we are abominations that deserve to be put to death?

And do NOT tell me that "being gay is a 'choice'!"

Or that "The bible does not condemn homosexuals!"

When a member of the world's largest paedophile network says something like that, I can only laugh.

Protestants in my country are worse than Catholics. They look like termites eating all the social wood.

Good. I'd rather be a non-human animal than a human. Human beings suck. If it's okay to be transgender, then it's okay to be transpecies.

I'm a Lutheran, and I can tell you, we feeler closer to Catholicism than to Baptists and other evangelicals. There's a huge difference between evangelicals and Mainline Protestants like Lutherans.
