I agree.
But let's assume for a moment the the pope's influence in Africa was similar to that in South America.
Wonder how much worse the HIV problem would be.
Surely there is some liability and something to be done.
Then again, they're no worse than most of the media these days.
Eskimo - If I didn't know about God, heaven, hell, sin and redemption then I wouldn't go to he ll.
Priest - Yes. If you really didn't know.
Eskimo - Why did you tell me then?
Plum the soul that sins shall die - all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
A big problem regarding Biblical truth is that many think that Catholicism represents Biblical truth.
My wife was a Catholic in a parish of over 3,000 people.
A priest decided to do a Bible study and some 14 people turned up. As a consequence of studying the Bible all 14 left the Catholic church.
The only way to find out what the Bible says is to read it prayerfully asking God to open your eyes and teach you.
Now as for rooitwit the time has surely come for him to activate his living will given his unsound Ness of mind.
Sharktwit and Crusader twit should do likewise!
Poor Crusader twit blames everything on God. That is obviously wrong and of course very unhealthy. Dr Moz has done very well in explaining to Crusader twit where he could be wrong. Will the oak pay any attention and get over his God hating obsession. One hopes so.

I'm all for the message of Christianity but very much against most of the institutions that claim to be delivering the message and will of God to the people.
To me, there is a very clear separation between the two.
Often time, the voices against corrupt religious institutions are mistaken for being against Christians or God.
I think a lot of churches take advantage of that confusion for their own benefit.
The Sea Inside - Javier Bardem
An interesting take on assisted suicide. Depressing as can be but a great movie by all accounts.
Guy is not fatally sick but is quadriplegic after having been quite an active person previously.
Plum it may surprise you to know that I think there are many churches that dont follow the Bible's clear teachings but make up their own way. Hence I always say read the Bible prayerfully yourself. Prayerfully because the Prince of this world (Satan) has blinded men's eyes lest they see the truth and believe.
Man allowed Satan to enter the World and become the Prince of this World. But God will end his reign when Christ returns. There is a degree of evil in the world today that proves the activity of Satan who goes around like a roaring lion seeking who he may devour.
Sadly these atheists don't know they are providing Satan with a banquet. They raise their fists and rail against the God of heaven. They accuse the HOLY ONe of every abomination. It's frankly frightening to see how deceived they are and I don't frighten easily.
I heard that well known atheist Christopher Hitchens ranting against God and felt sick realizing here was a doomed human being who was choosing an eternity separated from God!
Miss out on Christ's salvation won on the cross at unspeakable cost and though you gain the world you lose everything.
He has RISEN and reveals Himself to all who DILLIGENTLY SEEK HIM
"If you seek Me in Earnest you will find. Amen and Amen. As you draw near to Him he will start to draw near to you.
I don't blame anything on god you twat, i dont believe a god exists.
I blame religion for scamming so many gullible people.
Check out Matt Dillahunty, a believer for 25 years and decided to become a preacher. After studying the bible in depth he decided it was all BS and became an Atheist.
Seriously i wish more christians would study the bible it is the best thing ever to make Athiests
To me, the old testament God is more plausible and the new testament God is more accessible.
I'm still confused by that gap.
Christians can't really think Jews are off the mark but Jews have plenty of room to call BS on Christianity.
I think it's a sign of Jewish cultural maturity that they don't do so more often.
Does anyone know of some half decent reading material in that regard btw?
