Why don’t they just get naked and dance around baying to the moon chanting? Open-up an animal and splay its intestines to read the future? Or say drink blood? Oh that’s right, sorry guys, Christians already drink the blood and eat the body of their zombie god, don’t they? Why the media gives this saint-crap any more coverage and credibility than an East African Witch-Doctor throwing bones on the ground is beyond me.<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />PaulCanterbury Atheistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900223059660267657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-61307007533897982062010-10-19T10:17:23.336+13:002010-10-19T10:17:23.336+13:00That's why its called a "faith" Libe...That's why its called a "faith" Liberty. It transcends and overrides what one can objectively know. That's also why prove positive of its contradictions will never convince the true faithful, although I do believe there are gradients in levels of skepticism with the church itself, whereby some simply accept an amount of obvious BS as a "trade-off" for the perceived positives.<br />BezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-64390324199629757732010-10-18T23:28:22.826+13:002010-10-18T23:28:22.826+13:00It is as ludicrous as modern day personality cults...It is as ludicrous as modern day personality cults.<br /><br />Take Saint Isidore of Seville, one of his contributions was to lead the Fourth Council of Toledo which decided on the forced removal of Jewish children from their parents.<br /><br />Perfection.<br /><br />Miracles = manufactured propaganda.<br />Like the fictional miracle of Agnes Bojaxhiu who "cured" a "tumour", when it was neither a tumour nor cured by her (says a doctor who treated the woman concerned).<br /><br />A miracle will be when god can inflict a heart attack or intervene every time a priest or nun is about to sexually or violent abuse a child.<br /><br />However, given said god couldn't even strike down the popes of some years ago who excelled in torture, rape and sadism, it's a wonder how catholics can maintain sanity given the chronic contradictions.Libertyscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741049550997300680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-76432211211835216712010-10-18T22:36:44.027+13:002010-10-18T22:36:44.027+13:00T'is all relative...if I remember correctly yo...T'is all relative...if I remember correctly you were slavishly salivating over meeting Yaron Brook recently, to the extent of publishing a photograph of yourself with your subject of adulation. <br />Let these Catholics have their fun also............<br />BezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-50090646653398949312010-10-18T22:13:42.130+13:002010-10-18T22:13:42.130+13:00It's idolatry.

This perfection guarantees that they are in Heaven. Their intercession (thus the miracles) proves they are in Heaven.<br /><br />Jesus did mention sainthood when He said that we are to perfect, just like His Father in Heaven is perfect. Sainthood is perfection. There are many saints who will never be recognised as such, but those that are give hope that such perfection is possible.Lucia Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485990994973953860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-28526836949574741612010-10-18T20:30:28.427+13:002010-10-18T20:30:28.427+13:00more pure fiction
