@patientzero532 It is a sad commentary on humanity, but the only constant in human history has been war.

@nasticanasta My comments are very much after the fact. I wish I'd seen the anti-Catholic submissions a year ago. people like that are fed propaganda by the evangelical element, & it's all they know. They have no concept of centuries of experience, traditions, & yes, errors based on the lack of ...

Passage of this law is an affront to human dignity & human decency. It is, however, in keeping with a rigid pattern of deep seated hatred

Oh, of course the world is flat.....I know,.....I grew up on the prairies..... & only evengelikals have god's private e-mail address, from the secret ISP, Lucifer Computer services & sulfur sales. :-)

@300reimer As one who served mass in Latin for years, I agree.Reading that you were trying to understand Latin, caught my eye. One of the most important things top keep in mind is the fact that for over 1000 years, the church has pronounced Latin as if it were Italian. Thus, for example, a 'c' is...

When I first heard this, I almost fell off my chair. Having been an altar boy for years, back in the days of "Dominus vobiscum', it took me back decades to the era when I could claim an odd condition called 'youth'!

To me, the defining moment(s) for conservative religion (Christianity), occurred during the early years of the AIDS epidemic, when they fiercely & successfully opposed the use of any public funds for HIV research & the development of effective treatment options. Thus, thousands were denied any ch...

A bit of history for you from one who has been around forever. Please check out my statements.One evening back in the mid 1970's, while walking down a street in Vancouver, I began to feel very nauseated, with a headache , & a complete loss of appetite. I assumed it was the flu.It came on the news...

I am a proud Canadian man who has lived in the US for a number of years (San Diego). In my opinion, the biggest difference between our countries, is population. We both have some of the finest people who have ever lived, & we both have astonishing assho***. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians hav...

@SAKENMANGEDAN Sadly, the only constant in human history has been war. Millions of people owe their freedom to the sacrifices of allied soldiers, including thousands of Americans who never returned from Europe the blood soaked battles to prevent the horrors of the Third Reich from covering the ...

It is not uncommon, & is quite acceptable for tourists to discretely view European cathedrals during Masses. Be kind.....Nobis quoque peccatoribus..... many of the cathedrals & basilicas are enormous. Someone mentions Amsterdam.Directly across from the Centraal Station in Amsterdam is a Catholic ...

@PhotoshopBus I understand completely, the grief associated with the death of ones dog. But when you have the pet 'put down', it's an act of love & compassion to alleviate pain & suffering. You don't need to be told that you did the right thing, but I'll say it anyway. And please accept belated ...

When you consider what they are doing for us in fighting terrorism over there so we aren't faced with routine episodes of 9/11, They can do whatever they like for fun & amusement. No one has the right to stand in judgement, who isn't beside them on patrol.Like others , I have wondered if they ar...

er789er, it couldn't be said any better. Always a Momma, & yes, welcome home dude.

Thank you for your protection from a terrible enemy.

You can take the contents of the Bible & create any scenario or belief you want. It is telling, that god was a regular 2000 years ago when giving instructions to the people , who hadn't a clue about the world we inhabit. He hasn't been heard from since except by people suffering delusions.through...

I am a man of science. While not condemning the religious , I'd remind them that accepting scientific evidence as it is discovered & changes; does not automatically equal atheism. It was most telling, however, that a PEW survey in 2010 revealed that those most defensive of the Bible are those ...

Between Photoshop & artsy material, the creators of these sites might get work with tea partiers. BUT, ....something most people don't know....mythical beings like elves, gnomes, leprechauns, & cyclops, existed. I've seen & worked with some of the last examples we'll ever see, as advances to obst...

These creatures are just the fundamentalists of the animal kingdom. And just as appealing. Yes, human skulls can be shaped from infancy, as the bones of the skull don't fuse together completely until the age of about 15 or 16. The first historic reports of this being done came from Roman histor...

squindin, you've done an excellent job of condensing the basics of this episode of horror.As one who has worked in legitimate research, I'm an expert in nothing, but I've seen some of the places in Europe where these atrocities have taken place.I've also done much reading on the hundreds of Nazi ...

As somewhat of a medical expert in areas related to endocrinology; I hadn't thought it was possible for even the best contortionists to be able to insert their heads beyond certain muscle fibers that comprise sphincters. The posts herein prove me wrong.If those who need to can pull their heads ou...

Ignore the absurd statements of support for fascism in these comments......apply some common sense. In a real fascist , WWII type German, Italian or Japanese military unit they would be the first to be taken before tribunals & shot for their utter lack of bravery & soiling once again the lower po...

No side can have a perfect Geneva Convention record in war. But the Germans & Japanese threw out any semblance of respect for humanity.The important thing is to teach future generations what happened, & keep in mind that these things occurred many years ago.As a post war boomer, I respect the tr...

Unlike many of you, I've been to some of the places where these unequaled crimes against humanity took place. I am not Jewish & was born after the war. The horrors that took place in the time of my parents(your grandparents); must never be repeated.Ever. But to the critics of those with such ...

As a westerner who was raised to respect all cultures & faiths; it would appear that differences of opinion developed immediately following the death of Muhammad. Why hasn't there been reconciliation after so many centuries?The same thing happened with Christianity. A previous comment tells someo...

US imperialism is non existent. America & her allies go out of their way to avoid civilian casualties & you know it. The high civilian death rate is due to tribal crap that goes back 1,330 years. If every westerner left tomorrow morning, nothing would change.Iranian people are amongst the most re...

Mr Current , don't get ticked off by anyone online. God doesn't. In reality , there's only one verse in the Bible that is completely provable. It cannot be argued with. It is infallible. It says, "Remember man, that thou art dust & unto dust thou shall return."

The first job I had after high school here in Canada was working for the provincial; government of Manitoba. It is required that you swear allegiance to Her Majesty; her heirs & successors. I am as serious about loyalty to the Queen of Canada , Elizabeth II , today as I was then , some 40 years a...
