Don't Touch yourself While at War?

03/19/2006

I came accross this wonderful article at the Huffington post, which, for all the uninitiated is one of the top 100 blogs worldwide, but also a blog that I have never felt a need to read. I was brought up in rather a non-religious setting, which is why I've made it to this age knowing only a handful of religious types. While I feel strongly that the church is a bad thing, because I have about ziltch interest in studying the bible to prove it, I am often at a loss as to how to communicate my thoughts. My favourite comments from the article:

  • "There is no bigger closet in the world than the Catholic hierarchy, in which there's even room for the Pope's $1000.00 Prada shoes."
  • "I also was raised a Catholic, well until my parent's divorce when we were all ex-communicated." (isn't 'ex-communicated' a really humourus word? like they were booted off the island).
  • Man created god in man's image and likeness--unfortunately, he then forgot it was just a joke.

The article starts by saying "As we know, Christ came down to earth to instruct us in the ways in which we must limit our sexual expression."  and Goes on to outline a hilarious situation where church raised children are fed warped ideas about sex and war by priests that blatantly contradict their own teachings, to the point I'm sure ANYONE has to question where exactly these 'morals' were dreamt up and why (aside from the few who just feel attacked by someone questioning god)
