Whether you believe or don't, the predominant message of Christ is "Love thy Neighbour", (And if you remember my neighbour's pretty tasty. See http://twistedscottishbastard.blogspot.com/2011/09/spring-is-here.html#more ) not kill the f*ckin' heathens, Protestants, Jews, Muslims and anything not perectly in agreement with their views. <br /><br /><i>Including,</i> I understand from their site, any other Catholics who are not rabid anti-gays, who don't mind worshiping their God in English, and who don't mind their Priest being a woman, and considering the Catholiocs score in ordaining a high percentage of paedophile priests, seems entirely the wrong viewpoint to take.<br /><br /><br /><br />TC: Possibly, possibly... hey, wait a minute. <i><b>I</b></i> post on the bus station.<br /><br />Shackleford_Hurtmore: No, no, the study was looking at mental health, not depths of corruption. BTW, I agree about they're mostly a mad as collective meat axes.<br /><br />Patience_crabstick: That's because all of you lovely nurses have a great supply of Valium, Phenytoin, Carbamazapines and Phenobarbs.
