since he's from germany and i'm from germany i have to say i hate this guy. for example in germany we have almost 50% katholics and 50% protestants/evangelical (i have no clue if this is the same like those in usa or so). i believe evangelical in usa are much different to them in germany but i really don't know for sure. i beleive in usa the evangelical are the super religious more than the catholics here it's the opposite (in my opinion)

and he NEVER will hear what tthe leaders of them say if they try to meet with him to talk about different things. he's always like "no no what i say is the rule we will never come together)

Nice to see him take a bold stand despite having so much opposition from others. Takes a lot of guts to do that. He should be commended.

ohh yeah never hear what others have to say is really great, evil in person lol

were i to say that jews belong in death camps and blacks belong back in the fields would i be next on your list of people to commend?   

Solution:

Pass a bill to legalize sodomizing underage kids, that should make the Vatican happy.

*Waits for shit storm to ensue*

someone had to say it :)

i mean, there a thousands of cases known and i can't imagine how many nobody knows about! just give pastors the chance to have an own family or this shit will never be stopped (or at least much less)

"Looks like you'll have to hope so for the rest of your life then, 'cause it ain't gonna happen"

Yeah sadly the governement dont have the balls to do the correct thing anymore.

"Even the old testament (not the teachings of Christ anyway) rarely did anything to denounce homosexuality and when it did, it referred to it as unclean while also referring to men with long hair as unclean (just like Jesus) while also condemning women who wear pants, the consumption of lobster, interbreeding of different animals and finally, wearing blended fabrics (no underwear with elastic straps). The Pope is as far from the teachings of Jesus as possible without people actually figuring out what is happening."

Homosexual activity is discussed in the old and new testament. You must have missed the versus below. The Church is just being faithful to the bible in its teaching.

Genesis 19:1-11
Leviticus 18:22
Leviticus 20:13
Judges 19:16-24
1 Kings 14:24
1 Kings 15:12
Romans 1:18-32
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
1 Timothy 1:8-10
Jude 7

Alright, but can you show me where Christ denounces homosexuality?

butcherknife said: non-gravity said: Mummelmann said: Truly shocking and surprising news. Well, at least the papacy signed the fact that the earth was round in the 1990's so we still have that... The Vatican accepted that the earth was round before Galileo was born. Galileo was a giant arrogant dick in expressing his views which is why at a certain point the church had to go after him. He embraced the Copernican model which wasn't exactly right and refuted Kepler's ellipses. As non-gravity said, the argument wasnt about the round earth...it as about whether or not the earth traveled around the sun or vice versa. The church said the earth was the center (supported by scripture), Galileo said the sun was the center (supported by scientific observation). Galileo was put under house arrest for promoting the FACT that the earth went around the sun. Doesnt matter how much of dick he was...you shouldnt be put under house arrest for being a dick...he wasnt he was put under house arrest for being a dick...he was put under house arrest for disobeying the church and promoting the FACT that the earth goes around the sun which was heresy to the church. Non-gravity can you provide examples of how Galileo was a "dick"..what exactly did he do that makes you describe him as adick, and why does being a dick justify house arrest for life? You also know that the church has since more-or-less apologized for what happened to Galleo, right?

Historians have found no evidence that man at any point in history ever believed the world was flat. It's a myth.

Like heaven, hell and the rapture. All myths.

OT:

I don't quite get this religious outlook on life. If God created the world and everyone in it then it is his to deal with. If he doesn't like homosexuals then let him deal with them. It's not my concern. They do me no harm. Murderers, muggers and other criminals can.

An american right-wing religious "person" told me that god will destroy America in 5 years if it accepted homosexuality as christian and normal.

So if the US is history in five years I will become a believer.
