You are a hard one to figure out.... to codemn Catholisism when it is so clear to everyone you don't know much about it confounds me..... oh well, here's to education!Corban said:Explain tradition, what constitutes tradition, from whence did it come, just the early apostles? or did the later leaders of the church produce traditions for future generations?
Sure, faith in God is not a political issue..... but morality is. Proper, ethical governance of a population is not something restricted to a mathematical formula, it has good and bad, right and wrong....... these are things that religion teaches. Yes, it's possible to get these things outside of formal religion, but to say that religion has no place in politics in this context......huajiro said:I honestly think too many people get caught up in the details of the religions. Religion is not Politics, there is no need to debate. Rather than trying to pick each other apart, why not try to find similarities? That way we can all help each other find the right path. People have been killing each other for centuries over those same differences.
The Inquisition was great example of "proper ethical governance", don't you think?SOGFPP said:Sure, faith in God is not a political issue..... but morality is. Proper, ethical governance of a population is not something restricted to a mathematical formula
I don't know where I gave you the idea that my idea of right and wrong comes from anywhere but "God".SOGFPP said:Just because my ideal of right and wrong comes from God, does not mean that I don't have the right to use that ideal in the secular world.
Hmmmm... and I thought that a polite exchange of ideas would be the way to go.... :tsk:huajiro said:The Inquisition was great example of "proper ethical governance", don't you think?
I never said that it did or didn't.... I was making a comment related to the topic at hand.I don't know where I gave you the idea that my idea of right and wrong comes from anywhere but "God".
That's just typical Catholic attitude. No offense, SOGFPP.Runt said:SOGFPP, in his last few posts Corban has not been condemning Catholicism at all, but merely asking questions. Condemning HIM for his lack of understanding is unfair. It is okay to educate him; it is not okay to make fun of him is not.
