If you don't believe the priests of your religion can communicate with the gods of your religion, then what on earth is the point of believing in that religion at all? The Church of the Completely Uncommunicative Gods looks a lot like atheism to me.

Alan B,
"The Gay Gene?"
Considering every single mammalian species exhibits examples of homosexuality it must be widespread indeed.
However there's only one species that exhibits homophobia. I wonder if that's genetic too.

Runner,
ALL Christian sects (and that's what all 10,000+ versions of the religion must be) seem to be existing on grannies and real estate.
Unfortunately it's the extremists that are growing in power that lust for the coming of Armageddon.

'ALL Christian sects (and that's what all 10,000+ versions of the religion must be) seem to be existing on grannies and real estate.'

displaying ignorance again Rache. The church is particularly healthy especially in places like China, Iran, South Korea and many other nations.

rache:

Do they exhibit a sexuality or do they just indulge in the odd bit of homosexual behaviour? Can other species have a sexuality? What is a sexuality exactly? How would you define it? How would we know it if we saw it?

No other species exhibit homophobia? How do you know that? In humans it is usually manifest by attitudes and behaviour and discrimination. How would other species exhibit homophobia?

Well said Alan B.

I would add to that what decent, thinking and knowing person would have anything to do with any of these filthy little paedophile churches.

To crucify theses people upside down, break their legs and burn them alive is to good for them.

Rather, I would like to see the likes of ratsinger and his like locked in a pain amplifier and kept alive and tortured until their death. An addition option would be to allow those who have suffered as a consequence of their actions pay a visit with the option to have them directly participate in the torture.

And what these people most do not want is Freedom of Religion .. when there is Freedom of Religion then some will marry gays and some will not. Bravo .. big deal ey?

To the contrary, what they want is for everyone to be like them.

As for humility, you'd reckon they'd sit down and shut their holes by now wouldn't you after the criminal negligence and all the rest of it. But no, they're out there peddling their drivel as if their lives depended on it.

The individuals responsible for this, like the child abusers in Canberra need to be punished severely for their crimes against children.

In fact, knowing some poor Souls who are members of that filthy little organisation, it never ceases to shock me at how ignorant and stupid they really are. They need intervention in my view as if you ask these people who is responsible for the crimes against children, they will tell you that the blame purely and solely rests on the homosexual population.

Now, I can accept that some of my words could easily be interpreted as hate speech. If that's true though, what do you call demonising homosexuals for the crimes of the clergy??
