HATE YOU BRITNEY CUZ PEOPLE CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU BITCH!

I guess I just have a really hard time with the church because they didn’t point their finger at themselves at first………and it took so long……..and the only reason why they finally came out and gave a quick apology is because people started really questioning things. Then they started to relise how much money and real estate they were going to lose. They like pointing their finger at everyone elses sins but when it comes to theirs…….then they get a pass?

Has anyone been following the Opra school scandle? I give her a lot of credit….She came out fast, told us what was happening, started an investigation, people were fired and rules quickly changed.

Compare this to the finger pointing religion!

Hey sk8rpro…….Do you think that some of the money my family gave to that church went towards defending those pedofiles, priests, bishops, cardinals?

If your answer is “yes”, Then don’t you think I have a pretty good reason to be a little pissed?

Also, seriously…………If this was your little girl or little boy or your niece or nephew, What would you do?
Would you Go to church, kiss the popes hand, then give him money. If you answer “Yes” then your nuts.

I still want our families money back….but I will try to get better and rethink everything that I have felt for a while.

You know a good book to catch up on is “The Catholic Verses” by Dave Armstrong. I say – read it! But you know what’s interesting, don’t align your views to fact, as well as my views to fact. At the same time you are biased, angry, and hateful. Whenever there is anything that says something contrary to what you believe, you want to blast them.

Yes, yes. I know about the indulgence controversy, that’s what? 500 years ago? And the pedophile sex scandal. Yes, shit happens! That doesn’t mean the Vatican from the Catholic Church approves of this. You think Protestants are clean of this controversy as well? That’s only because the media hasn’t broadcast it yet. Why? Protestants don’t stress on unity and are a bunch of individuals. But with the Catholic Church, that would make a better story because there are no divisions and because they are unified and because they are bigger – therefore, it’s easier to attack them.

You blast Teresa, because she is educated, but for some reason you think you know better. And in the end, you say “God bless you” – you say the pope does not appear to be humble – well, neither do you!

The pope and that church do not come across as humble at all. That’s where they loose many people. There’s no such thing as being infallible. There are a few popes who proved it.

You know what’s funny and ironic about you teaching me about the catholic church? It was in college history and government class that really changed my mind about this. To the people who know nothing about the history of this church I say you should know a few things.

Read up on the “Indulgence controversy”. Or the failure of the renaissance popes. Read up on sacrements and transubstantiation. Are those things in their holy book? Here is a good one: The Galileo Story. They wanted to put this man to death because he proved the Earth was round………..LOL. Not only that, but it took this church five Centuries to apologize. Are You Kidding Me? Yes, 5 centuries!
He is not the only one they wanted to put to death. Read up on the Scientific Revolution and the emergence of Modern Science. I can’t beleive people still let this church gauge them.

I will stop there because I don’t want to embarrass you. Well, maybe one small thing that’s happened and was covered up.
THE PEDOPHILE SEX SCANDEL and COVER UP. COVERED UP STRAIGHT TO THE vatican.

Let me bow down to you and thank you for educating me. And let me thank you for alerting me that my “thinking” is flawed. You should have told me it was my “perception” too.

Seriously Teresa, I would like to know what I’m missing. Please, please don’t hide behind the saints or good works, or the popes hat, or the cardinals clothes, or mother theresa, or mother mary, or that Peter was the first pope…give me something else. Why does that hierarcy do the things they do and act the way they do?
I still want our families money back.

God Bless You,

Joe

I thin you may need to learn some more about Catholic Church history. I am a historian. I teach at a public university. I would say that no one hates the Catholic Church. People only hate what they *think* the Catholic Church is. People in general know next to nothing about any kind of history and even less really understand the history of that Catholic Church. Most people result to the only allowable prejudice in today’s American society and continue to *willingly* believe the lie. What could remidy this situation? Teaching people how to critically judge their sources and not believe everything they read!

How about no? I refuse to respect fairy tales that just create ignorance and prejudice.

And Joe, you accuse the Catholic Church of man-made ways. If you’re saying off-shoots of the Catholic Church who believe in Jesus, God, and Scripture don’t have man-made ways (aka tradition), you are then, mistaken. Of course, this warrants some serious discussion, and is probably not appropriate for a file-sharing news site such as this. Especially since I’m probably not in the right kind of environment for discussing this.

How about FUCK your fairy tales and FUCK your FUCKING brainwashing religion.

And to say that we have to honor a fairy tale in order to be respectful shows that we live in a culture that doesn’t tolerate rational thought. I don’t like, tolerate, or respect the Catholic Church or its life-destroying teachings and beliefs.

Here’s a Britney controversy I can get into!

And what about that funny site with all her fans response to the “boycott” – http://beproactivetohelp.com
Is it real? I left a message with them anyway because it cracked me up

The word “fuck” brilliantly demonstrates how Britney Spears is doing wrong – hence the definition of the word. What she is doing is disrespectful to the Roman Catholic Church. There are degrees in satire against religion, such as “Saved” or “The Simpons,” but this goes too far. People don’t have to like the Catholic Church or agree with the Catholic Church, but to show utter disrespect to religion shows we live in a disrespectful culture. Religious discrimination is alive and well today.

And in answer to your rhetorical question, I do care.

“Compare this to centuries of catholic cover ups and lies. This is nothing. I want my money back from that church!”

Coverups and lies happen anywhere, but that doesn’t mean the Catholic Church is false. It means corruption can happen anywhere and you are to be on your guard, and not believe everything you hear. I don’t even need to tell you corruption isn’t supposed to happen in the Church, but it does happen – this doesn’t mean this is what the church as a whole does or believes, it means corrupt leadership happens and more careful guidelines are required.
