Just very recently a friend of mine wrote on his blog about religion and how he thought how fake this all is. And to be honest, I can only fully agree with him.
This morning I did read in a news paper that pope Benedictus stated that homosexuality is problem as big as that of the rain forests.
How does this person… this institution… even dare to judge about fellow humans? How does he even dare to judge about people I love and care about?
I don’t say everyone has to agree on the matter of homosexuality. But if you really care about people… if you really want to show understanding and compassion, then you will accept people as they are and not compare them a major disaster as the cutting of the rain forests.
This is so close to setting up to hatred. It is almost sounds as this pope allows and wants his “followers” to act agianst homosexual people. So much for this God of Love…
And if homosexuality, as the pope says, destroys Gods Work, then I don’t wanna be part of this Work. Sorry, there is the door… one way out.
If this pope really wants to act on a problem, that let him do something about the sexual abuse caused by his own priests… (and not by buying off quilt with a lot of money!). And all the result of that this church forces people into a very unnatural way of living. This church really should keep their mouth shut about people who live peaceful but only have a different way of living… Hypocritical is the least way to call such a church….
I so agree with you. And it is so good to see that people react against things like this. Specially in this matter and you know why.
Very well said. I also agree with you.
Is so agree.
Religion is for people that need shelter becourse they can’t think for themselves. they need someone to make guidelines and rules. As long as the live in the mass within a defined box they are happy. It’s very easy to hide for reality.
As you said before. People giving up privacy and freedom to feel save do not deserve any of it.
Besides that. Out of respect, I have tolerated people who talk about their religion as it would be fact for some very long time now. But now i am so fed-up with it. It turns my stomache.
Rob, with my own daughter in mind, I think this pope is a bigger disaster to the world as the destroying of rain forests and a lot of other big disasters on one pile.
And here I am thinking that discrimination on sexual preference was not allowed in the modern Western world. How wrong I was.
