[DnetMHZ]

Maybe they should try to enforce the "Don't touch little boys" rule a little better!

You're ruining their "taking things out of context" fun!!!

Oh I get it! They mean that becoming obscenely rich and not giving back to those in need is a sin, man, if only there was a word to describe that...it would be so much more convenient and wouldn't cause confusion.

Bwahaha...redundancy FTL.

I believe you mean four14een.

Well, we've already had the first seven, so let's just get the second seven now!

Hadn't thought of it that way.

How about "The 2econd Se7en"?

You know, when you put their track records side by side, the Nazis were amateurs by comparison. I'd be more disconcerted to hear that the new Nazi used to be a Pope than the other way around.

is that a foam pope finger? lol

did "God tell them these are new sins" or did they just make them up themselves?

thats kind of redundant isnt it?



and i keep hearing people say that religion has to step into the current times and adjust for how society is now, not 2000 years ago. now that they are making that leap, people make fun for them assuming His Will on sin.

 

[Dacalo]

I believe religion itself isn't bad, but it is the institutions functioning in the name of the religion that are laughable.

To quote the late Robert Heinlein,

?Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful - just stupid).?

The Church, as usual, is wrong, IMO.

Haha, yeah the above about sums up my thoughts.

meh. i just say "religion lol" to fit in with the rest of you trolls. i'm not religious per se, but the dicks that troll religion threads annoy me far more than the zealots.

"The new lists condemns genetic modification, carrying out experiments on humans, polluting the environment, causing social injustice, causing poverty, becoming obscenely wealthy and taking drugs.

Of course molesting kids is still a sickness and not a sin. At least when a priest does it. But it's good to see the church is so consistent after all these centuries. They still hate science and they still think that they're the only ones that are allowed to amass wealth.

 

[meltdown75]

wow. right on cue.

It would be perfectly reasonable for them to update the list of sins according to actions currently possible which weren't possible earlier, however, they should do that with some indication of profundity and spiritual knowledge in a way that that profundity and spiritual knowledge is shared, and thus not come across so weak.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

so you can bring yourself back to life, just not by genetic mutation?

 

[irishScott]

Well, since all cancers are genetically based (cell DNA gets fucked), I guess curing cancer is now a sin. :roll:

In other words, he should have dressed up, burned some incense and spoke in tongues first? Well, I can't argue with that. Nothing wrong with a little showmanship.

Oh. Apparently we were supposed to take a thread on how God changed his mind seriously. If you don't think Catholicism is hilarious, you aren't paying attention.

That word is Greed!

[BigToque]

No genetically modifying humans
Don't use drugs
Be mindfull of your pollution
Don't make yourself rich at the expense of others

Nothing on the list seems too outrageous.

I agree. They have time to consider social injustice, but touching little boys is still ok. This is more proof that all religion is man made nonsense. (Yes, I do believe in a God, but reject all the worlds religions.)

[DangerAardvark]

He said that two mortal sins which continued to preoccupy the Vatican were abortion, which offended ?the dignity and rights of women?, and paedophilia, which had even infected the clergy itself and so had exposed the ?human and institutional fragility of the Church?.

The mass media had ?blown up? the issue ?to discredit the Church?, but the Church itself was taking steps to deal with it.

From a UK article.
Note the quaint "a" in "paedophilia". Silly Brits...

Ha ha. I think he did dress up. As to what's being burned and inhaled, perhaps you could enlighten us yourself.
