Vatican continues to avoid accountability

[89Hen]

Going every week is the defining factor..?
All that means is you're committed

"Committed" is often the enemy of intellectually honesty...

No it means it's useless to talk about this when the supposed intellectual superior has a grade school education on the topic. Worthless.

You believe what you want. Fine. Don't insult me because I don't see it your way.

If you think us committed' don't have doubts your wrong.

Having Faith doesn't give you all the answers. It allows you to live with the questions.

Yup, I definitely did a dance around my office.

You posted that it's "useless to talk about it"
What would you like me to address that isn't useless..?

Maybe ironing, electric cars and Google. That's your wheelhouse.

[andy7171]

What does this picture mean to you? And how does the Church make money off of it? Greedy fucks.

I think I'm pretty good at:
God discovered by natural means in your daily life
based on observations of the natural world and common sense

vs.

God spoon fed to you through intense brainwashing and historical gibberish
with all the mandatory hierarchy and adjunct trimmings fabricated through the centuries



But true, I do enjoy a nice electric car thread...

How did they pay for it, genius? A bake sale?

You couldn't have proved my point more succinctly. Thanks!

[Ibanez]

What made up answers are we talking about?

Religion and God, were used to answer questions that we didn't fully understand. Things like, why is everyone getting dying?

God was the answer to natural disasters, bad luck, plagues, etc... when in reality logical and/or scientific answers exist.

So, it wasn't a made up answer. Humans just didn't know any better.

[89Hen]

BTW, not completely related, but I've seen a lot of photos of graduation lately and it cracks me up how "educated" people like to laugh at the funny clergy garb and then...

I have no idea. Pretty sure I had nothing to do with it though. But I can go look at it. Did you pay for it? If so, thanks!

Great adult response there.

Your bake sale comparison is right up there to wee-tag!

Just trying to get a straight answer here. Does the Church have any other major revenue streams besides the donations of its members?

On a serious note, not that I know of.

Okay. So I think it's fair for cleets to point out that ostentatious displays like that aren't really what Jesus was about?

QVC is a big source as is Royal Farms. Both are owned and operated by the Catholic Church.

Can you point to something built as lavish by the Catholic Church in, say the last 500 years?

I don't think Francis rides in that, JPII was almost assassinated, dippy.
