    Report Child Abuse? You're a Priest? Then No need to Bother

    Do you believe courts and jails are best placed to deal with those "real crimes"

    Report Child Abuse? You're a Priest? Then No need to Bother

    From my understanding a priest is held to the same standards as everyone else, the only exception is an official confessional. Just like a lawyer is held to the same standards as everyone else, except when he is officially acting as a lawyer (in which case there are confidentiality protections)...

    Report Child Abuse? You're a Priest? Then No need to Bother

    I'm not sure what your problem is. I assume going to a confessional is part of the repentance process. And if they are repenting then they will stop the abuse. I recognize that child abuse is a most serious matter. I however caution against the belief that jail and justice is the magic balm...

    Congress Overides Obama's Veto Of The So Called 9/11 Bill

    After 480 AD only half the empire existed. It's influence and power by then was far reduced. I expect that this will soon happen to the US as well unless they cease their aggression in the world.

    Congress Overides Obama's Veto Of The So Called 9/11 Bill

    More like 500 years. It was just a republic for most of the time.

    Congress Overides Obama's Veto Of The So Called 9/11 Bill

    I must say, it is really funny to see so many Americans actually having the gall to declare out loud and in public that the reason they don't like this law is because it will open up America to having to be accountable for all the terror they have brought on the world through their defense...

    Why do women hate each other?

    I did not accuse all women. Even the title itself did not say all women. Weren't you ever taught not to judge a book by its cover? Do not judge a post by it's title.

    Why do women hate each other?

    Yes I think it is a good idea. I gather this because, luckily, I don't live under a rock where I am privy to no other information other than that which I gain from my own personal experiences. I have the privilege of talking to other people who have had similar experiences (mostly other women)...

    Why no god exists

    I know this picture is supposed to somehow refute the theory that our suffering caused by the sin we have inherited - but in fact it proves the point. How is it that in a world where so many tons of food is wasted there are still children to go to bed hungry? It is because of the greed and...

    Why do women hate each other?

    I will also like to add this: I am not sure if you are one of those people, but I have noticed that many who protest against stereotypes only protest against those stereotypes that are negative. To an extent that is understandable but I believe that it also has a tendency to scupper progress...

    Why do women hate each other?

    Ah, and you have now gone on to make a bunch of assumptions about me and my country to try to prove your point. In my country women hold over 40% of government positions. In your country the figure is closer to 20%. It appears therefore that you still live in a country that has a lot of catching...

    Why do women hate each other?

    Oh, so that is all you care about - if no one is hitting women then the society is perfect? Well excuse me for assuming there is more to a man's value and worth than whether or not he hits women.

    What is the Sense, and Justification, in Calling Jesus "the Truth"?

    Nothing against this wonderful list of attributes you have provided - but I would also like to add to it: justice, judgement, knowledge and virtue.

    Why do women hate each other?

    More balanced? So do you have a blue-print on what a "Real Man" should be?

    Why do women hate each other?

    I don't live in your country, firstly. Secondly I am not quite sure what harm you think this post is doing. I am merely asking a question. Some people have given some very good and thought provoking responses to my questions. This thread does not ask for a lecture on the pros and cons of...

    Why do women hate each other?

    Ok, if you say so.

    Why do women hate each other?

    I don't know you very well but I think there is not a person in the world who does not generalize. Our who social order is built on generalisations. For example we outlaw murder because we generalise that people don't want to die (even though we know there are suicidal people in the world). We...

    Why do women hate each other?

    Indeed. Unless you believe women don't share any common characteristics with each other, I don't see why you should be surprised at all.

    From an Abrahamic perspective, Why is God emotional?

    It seems to me that the disagreement comes where we define what it means for God to be unchangeable. What is it about God that doesn't change? You say it is his state, everything about him never changes. I say that it is his character that never changes. God will never surprise you - he doesn't...

    From an Abrahamic perspective, Why is God emotional?

    It is not changing. Like I have said you cannot have it both ways. If God becoming angry at a thing that his nature dictates must make him angry is a sign that he is not unchangeable, then you must also accept that God flooding the earth when he hadn't done so before also violates his nature of...
