So any priest anywhere can stand up and say that the Pope is full of hot air
on his rulings on homosexuals and letting women be priest and still keep his
post in the church? Sorry don't think so.

Not the basic rules. But my point is even if the rules do change what does
it matter if you ain't following them go begin with?

Sure it is. If you don't believe and follow the rules then you shouldn't
claim to be a member of the group. Just because I eat pork or beef every
meal does that mean I'm not a vegetarian!! OF COURSE IT DOES. It doesn't
matter how many times I tell you "I'm a vegetarian." if I don't follow the
rules and eat meat I am NOT a vegetarian NO MATTER how often I say I am.
I can claim to be a Christian but if I screw around on my wife and rob banks
for a living am I a Christian? Nope. Therefore you saying that Christians
screw around on their wife's and rob banks is foolish.

Then explain to me why the non-Catholic Catholics are not tossed out of the
church? Why do they allow women who the priest KNOW have screwed around and
had abortions to be married "in the church".

Hockey Pucks! If it ain't about the money then what is it about?

Give me plenty of examples then. The weak one you gave fails on three
reasons. 1) you can't show me one church that calls for that; 2) check out
what I have been telling you, just because someone calls himself a Christian
doesn't mean he is; 3) abortionist are not being killed day in and day out.

So you admit that there were lynchings in the 60's and there was still a lot
of hate. Using your logic we don't have any hate now because there are those
"spewing that love ****." >

And yet you claim that my stating there was hate in the 60's was "Just

Let's see, they are killing each other because of difference in religion but
you don't call that a holy war. Just how do you define a holy war?

Try to stay on topic. Not editing so much might help, although I doubt it
because you are losing the debate. The point you are responding to is the
fact that terrorist need money and oil is a good way to get it. You tried to
change the topic to terrorist from countries w/o oil.
>> But because you asked its simple they get money from terrorist who get

Ok, first you need to check to see if its time to take another dose of your
meds because you seem to be completely losing your ability to focus here.
Next carefully re-read what I wrote. The statement above has nothing to do
with the terrorist being where the oil and poppies are only they are getting
money from other terrorist who get their money from oil and poppies. Where
do you think binny boy got his money to run his little holy war? From
selling magazines door to door? Nope from his family's oil business.

Ok, tell me how to spread a religion around the world w/o money. I'd love to
know so that I can start spreading mine at no cost.

I don't care, I have done my part. The rest is up to you and God. Just the
same as if I tell you not to touch that wire because the electric fence is
on. If you touch it after that its your problem not mine.

I do think you should talk to the docs about adjusting your meds. Tell them
you can't keep focused and tend to repeat yourself, having problems
controlling your anger and have are having some really bad self image issues
and feel the need to try to make others feel small to make yourself feel
bigger. Personally I'd suggest you mention adding Seroquel or if you are on
it already upping the dose.
