This is why you are hated Christians / Catholics

[Hayabusa Rider]

heh, why not, too many free thinkers with no fear of God. We human are getting way out of line.

Free thinking- That's an interesting concept. Thinking that being free from God does not make you one, nor is the reverse true. When you make the effort to overcome yourself you have begun. That is always the challenge, to rise above the self.

Please speak for yourself HAL! I for one dont hate Christians/Catholics.

The girl was 9 years old, so would it even be possible for her to successfully carry those twins to term? The article indicates that the abortion was performed in order to safe the life of the girl, but is short on detail as to specifically why this was the case. My opinion is that it's possible that the Church was right to do what they did (it's also possible that it wasn't, particularly if the twins had zero possibility of survival).

On the other hand, I am not a Catholic, nor even a Christian, and I think that the Church's position (even if "right" per their dogma) is disgusting. The Catholic Church, IMO, is an organization that is far more concerned with itself than it is with actually practicing the ideals that Jesus taught. Fuck them.

May not be the most recent news but I've only just seen it, absolutely moronic. I'm pro life and I think these people are morons.

The article does point out that not all catholics or christians agree with this decision. So i also dont see why you would judge everyone based off of an individual. Its like me saying all arabs are terrorists because the cia knows of one who is.

How much more do you want him to speak for himself? He said, "I think these people are morons." Who the hell does that pronoun I stand for but Hal speaking for Hal. He stated a personal opinion and he stated it as an opinion, not that Christians or Catholics are factually morons but that he thinks they are.

Meh. They're better off away from the church anyway.

[WelshBloke]

bashing millions of people based on their religion makes you no better than those "morons"

Depends on if what the people in that religion are saying about this.

If they think that the girl is a bigger sinner than the rapist then fuck them as well.

I agree completely.

Are you saying people hate you because of your beliefs? That is not the case at all. People hate your beliefs because they were warped thousands of years ago when they were created and are downright anti-people in this day and age. For a church to condemn a 9 year old rape victim for getting an abortion, even if it DIDN'T risk her life, is an abomination.

God is shaking his head and weeping for this little girl.

"you" as a general reference to all the posters in general. Sometimes "you" is used in a very generic sense. Stuff like that can be hard to tell when writing on an internet board. But to make it very clearly "I see that you dont hate all Christians and anything that suggests that i think you do, i take it back" All right, no hard feelings. And I agree that this would and does give Christians a bad name.

There are many Catholics (myself included!) who are looking at the response from the Vatican and wondering wtf they were thinking on this one. We aren't all anti-abortion zealots, but you wouldn't know it from the statements of an increasingly conservative clergy. If the church really wanted to be 'pro-life' here, they would accept her family back with open arms, ensure that the abuser of the girl were prosecuted, and care for the immediate emotional and tangible needs of the family. But no, they choose to fight the 'culture wars'. /facepalm

And HAL, Catholics do distinguish themselves from protestants, but they most certainly always categorize themselves as Christians.

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

So this is why Christians are so hated? Me thinks Darwin got it all wrong...we're not evolving, we're devolving.

 

[brandonb]

I'm not sure if Catholics and/or Christians really care if HAL and/or other anti religion people like them or not. You know, those who typically are anti religion are going to dislike religious people (they are stupid backwards hicks) and their dogma (it's so 2000 years ago.) It comes with the territory, and not the first, nor last time it's going to be said or heard.

That said, as a Catholic, I think in this case, the church went overboard and I do not support what was done.
