I think the Catholic Church does some horrible things, but it does some good things too (just like any other organization). I don't like when the church preaches down to people, especially about things where turning the other cheek might be a good idea, but I can't change that thinking by leaving and what the Catholic church says does not cause me to run my life a certain way in all cases.


Truth is I've met some really great people that are devout Catholics. Even ~gasp~ a couple of priests that seemed ok. It's a good thing too because it's difficult for me to not get angry at what the leadership has done. They're not the only ones but they are the biggest and best.

I didn't mind getting lumped in with you and the cat lady. If anything it was unfair of BBS to bring you two down by comparing us.

I'm an attorney, which houses some of the most vile scum and villainy, but I'm not leaving the profession. I'm a libertarian, although it's just a collection of washed-up Republicans and stoners.

Pretty reasonable in my opinion.

In a small way I admire you trying to be or bring some good to those groups.

Nah you can insert any religious text into there, just my impression from other posts you've made is that you're christian so I used the christian one. I could just as easily have said Torah or Qu'ran or whatever.

Show me a case of religion where the morals aren't given to humans by the divine, by some medium or another, as a model of how to conduct oneself. Also show that in these same religions there aren't consequences for transgressions of these morals.
