Six Famous Documentaries Shockingly Full of Crap

Joe, bless his heart, is not well-schooled in religion. Rather, he's brainwashed by one particular sect.

Carry on.

Joe's a good guy and to a certain extent tees it up a bit on this forum.

If the population of this planet honestly just followed the actual teachings of Jesus there would be ZERO Catholics

ZERO

You are really out of it lately.

You ever see yourself every Sunday at church parroting the same lame mass bullshit? Brawk...I beleive in the holy father........brawk.....hail mary.........brawk.


89Hen walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, "Hey, that thing is cool, where did you get it?"

The parrot replies, "In church, there's hundreds of em!"

That's pretty good.

Whoa...!!!
Are you trying to tell me that the very simple quotes attributed directly to Jesus
(the very very few) can somehow logically be constructed into Catholicism..?



Frankly Catholicism (and the Church itself) are about as far from Jesus as you can get

[CID1990]

Catholicism is nothing more than the Roman Senate sanctified.

Cleets, STD1990 - where the fuck were you guys 5 years ago?

What kind of **** up god purposely wraps himself in such mystery and bullshit? Certainly not a god worthy of worship.

Actually the commandments Jesus emphasized were pretty simple: (i) love your God with all your heart and (ii) love your neighbor as yourself. He said to accept this with the trust of a child who accepts what parents say.

We make it all more complicated because we refuse to accept it is that simple.

Fact is, we know and understand a small fraction of what is true and real and meaningful. The happiest people I know accept these concepts unconditionally and find meaning in every action and every moment.

On the other hand, I know a lot of great people who just cannot or will not accept it is just this simple; reject God; and move from one transient pleasure to another, without ever finding a genuine over-arching meaning to their lives.

What if you're neighbor is a homicidal pedophile? Are you going to re-define what love means? Or does this mean that IF you are or were a homicidal pedophile, you would love yourself in a very weird way? Or...out of love, you would kill yourself?

But I do appreciate the philosophical reductionism. The closest I can come to that is 'don't be an asshole, and when you are, own it.'

Joe? Hen? Andy? Col Hogan? Tman?

I thought An Inconvenient Truth was full of it as well. I hadn't heard of many of those listed but I think i'd have to agree with the Super-size Me section. There is no doubt that eating McDonald's everyday for an extended period of time isn't good, but it always appeared that the truth was fudged .

Hey, I don't have anything against the Catholic faith, I just know my Roman history. If folks want to follow a strict Roman rule book for getting close to the man that is rumored to be upstairs, that's their business.

Really? The fucking kids thing, financial corruption, not following the simple teachings of Jesus, meddling in politics and legislation, the obscene untaxed wealth, the gay cabal leaders and pope who are publicly homophobic, the lies, the coverup....

Okey Dokey

Agreed,
I don't have anything specific against Catholicism
But I will speak up when somebody tries to play the "It's all about Jesus" card

This:
What little we know and can attribute directly to Jesus
Is a lot closer to the philosophy and teachings of somebody like Eckhart Tolle or Michael Singer
Than anything in a giant church organization or major religion / particularly Catholicism

Jesus is now a tool used to separate "us from them" more than anything spiritual

I hate Tolle about as much as I hate the Buddhists...probably because deep down I get the feeling they're right.

All that shit exists outside the church, too.

I'm not talking about what Vatican, Inc. TM does.

I'm talking about what people want to believe or spend their time on. It's all good with me. You want to believe that the Roman Senate was the model on which a Palestinian Jew wanted to model his church? Go right ahead. It's as credible as any of the other major religions, if you ask me.

I'm just biding my time, waiting for one of these religions to evolve into a free sex movement with hot ass high priestesses where the only road to salvation is a 2 hour hummer and then maybe I'll become saved.

I've been to that church. The slogans are quite catchy. For instance there's the popular, "Cum and you shall be Saved!" and the "Enter into us for Redemption."

You've become so steeped in hyperbole. That's why I asked what's become of you lately.

You're certainly cherry picking to suit your weak point...
But my general point stands and is accurate
and you avoided my question as well
