this thread is beginning to sound like a junior high locker room. (apologies to Mr Sutherland)

The whole discussion has become too absurd and a carnival of foolish and silly excuses.

The term "trash" should never be used of anyone made in God's image. It is as wicked as the N-word.
I'm reporting that as abuse.

I'm sad to say most accurately portrayed by Republican candidates for high state and congressional office, the archetype being those in Nebraska This was not the case even a couple of decades ago. Dixiecans and those who let the Koch brothers do their thinking for them are more examples.
Bible verses best describing them,
1 Timothy 6
9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

There are also many rich liberals who lust after other people's money while keeping their own...too funny.

Have you ever met people who have never had kids, who try to tell others about what's best in regards to children.
Silly.

It doesn't matter who said it the Pope is correct. This command was stated twice: "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth." The replenishment is meant to be with children and not pets. The unstated side-effect is it robs God of His godly seed that his children supposed to be producing. Instead they are fornicating, committing adultery, aborting babies, and (if you really think about the end game of birth control) spilling their seed on the ground. I wouldn't be surprised if this president adds a tax benefit for those who raise pets instead of children. And maybe Planned Parenthood will use our tax money to give a kitten or a puppy to every woman who comes in to abort her child.

Catholics remind me of Mormons when it comes to having children,what better way to have more of both,Catholics and Mormons that is,than attempting to shame them into having children.

He said, "Why worry about the speck in their eye when you have a BEAM sticking out of your own eye."
Also it is written, "to correct with love and kindness."
Peace be with you!!

The glory days in the UK were when only the rich could afford the help of doctors and dentists.
If a poor man got a bad tooth, he would ask around if anyone had a decent pair of pliers, then a couple of friends would hold him down while Pliers-Man yanked his tooth out.
Then there were quacks who loved people and would give them a potion for nothing if they had little money.
Then there were the equivalent of witch-doctors who would cast a spell on your boil.
Then there was the amateur surgeon who, if you got a gangrenous leg, would tank you up with alcohol until you passed out and then sawed your leg off with an old rusty wood saw.
And don't forget the poor pop group The Beatles, who had to pay 19/6p in the pound on all their earnings in their heyday. It's amazing how much money they had left over.

Strat: it is kind of like everything else... It's not the 2% that are the problem; it's the people who think they are "being good Christians by SUPPORTING the 2%. If people will get it through their heads that it is unnatural and wrong and stop "helping them claim their rights" it would diffuse quickly.

I can't remember who it was that said about Robert E Lee it was fitting that he was a "good" man,it's always the good men who do the most harm in the world" our definition of good must line up with God's definition of good then we will be,good that is.
