Religion I


The Philosopher's Corner, (and its varied forums) is for those wishing to debate ideas in an
environment relatively free of personal attacks. This does NOT mean that ideas are not to be
challenged and/or heavily debated. Bringing arguments from another forum to this forum or any
other PC forum totally distorts the original message made, gives a biased slant and is
inappropriate. Standing firm and making one's case on its own merits is the intelligent choice.
Attacking and/or challenging an opinion is fair game.. Attacking someone personally is not.

Benefits: length of posts are basically unlimited, and if webforums break down we'll have a
backup forum. :)

A Catholic dropped by last night and explained the meaning of that painting. Pretty weird stuff if
you ask me. *-)

I'll make this quick...Bill wants the puter. Yes, I related some of the early ROMAN church
history and some about the inquisition. That is relaying historical fact, not saying YOUR religion
is wrong. I didn't find RC Church comfortable for me, because of all the politics and ritual...and
after a lot of studying I found the doctrines didn't fit what I believed either. that doesn't mean that
they aren't OK for you...it's your choice. I have never said that Gerry's religion is "wrong"
either...I just don't agree with some of what they teach. Who am I to say anyone's religion is
wrong...no one has seen god at any time...therefore we won't know who is right or wrong til we
do...personally I think they are all wrong ... we are all guessing and hoping. :)

I believe your Madonna feeding the god with her breast milk comes from the Egyption worship
of Isis who was said to feed her son, the god, Horus, divine milk. Here's a website to explain
who they are.

I believe that some of the mythology surrounding the virgin birth was lifted from this earlier
religion. Also there is similar stuff about Astartes (Persian Madonna) and also Zoroaster was
supposed to have had a virgin birth.

Haha...Searching under "Isis" I found a lot of advertising for breast pumps and nursing aids...
Just in case you guys need them... :D

Ron has two rooms. One is for Catholic rebuttal and the other, The Anti-Venom site is to rebut
the idiocy of the snake pit. He has said you and Coinky are welcome to either place, but I don't
imagine you'll be much interested in the Catholic rebuttal one. Grin... as for the Anti-Venom
room, I think Ron's responses to them are a hoot. He caught the evil one posting as Dolly and
then realizing his mistake, he deleted the post... grin. The reason he has that room is because we
can't discuss the jerks over here.

There is only one definition of a Christian. Follower of Christ. If you follow others, you may be a
religious person and a spiritual one, but you aren't a Christian.
You have spoken disparagingly several times of the politics of the Catholic hierarchy and the
evils of its early history. You also said at one time you tried to go to a Catholic church and found
the doctrine and ritual nature not to be desired, I believe. Or was that Margaret?

"Hey, how many websites do you have anyway?"

As many as I need...lol. I just set this one up ( http://www.voy.com/83767/ ) last night because
you had a need and a good point in that Ron's place seems more geared for Catholics to present
Catholic rebuttal to the snakepit vipers. I am going to leave the site open though so anyone can
post there, so don't be surprised if a snake bites ya on the ankle...but don't worry, I will be close
by to suck the venom out and spit it in the toilet where it belongs.. :-)
