@Archangel777Catholic Hitler was RC...then became an atheist. God's word is above all others....even stupid RC tradition...which is nothing but lies anyway. and who is the father of lies? SATAN! Only what God says is true and man is a lair.

@TheHusker20 Ok tell me something is gambling ( with poker machine which the catholic church uses) fair? Is it fair? Or is the machine set against those who play? And tell me one more thing, is gambling addictive even to 1 percent of people, ups you have already given me the answer and I am sure it is much more then 1 percent. And tell me one more thing, do you care? Do you care? "whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished" Proverbs 28:19-20

@medusa210562 God didn't create money man did and what does God need money for. Keep the bible in context. Again i say gambling isn't a bad until one becomes addicted to it which then leads to more problems. As a side note i clicked on the web pages that were in the link and it said that the pages couldn't be found.

@TheHusker20 gambling in and of itself isn't wrong at a humanist level. As a biblical level gambling the money God gives you is always wrong. would you like a bible lesson on it?

[TheHusker20]

@medusa210562 gambling in and of itself isn't wrong. It becomes wrong when people abuse it hence addictions begin. If one gambles responsibly and appropriately then i don't see it being a sin

Amazing how catholics use circular reasoning. If a Bible scripture insinuates something that helps them, they love it and repeat it endlessly. If one doesn't help their cause of proof, it is not nearly important. To me, it sound like the great liar is behind the whole thing, running it like a freight train running over whom he may.

II Tim 3:15

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

[TheJpgr1958]

For years, Monsignor Kevin McAuliffe lived something of a double life. He was widely admired by his flock at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, which he helped build into one of the largest Roman Catholic parishes in the Las Vegas area. But at the same time, he was stealing money from the church. He stole from the gift shop. He stole from the votive candle collection. He stole from a fund for novenas, or Masses in honor of the dead. Over nearly a decade, he pocketed about $650,000. What a man!!

@medusa210562 Really? The entire Church and all of its members (that is what Christ meant by the Church by the way...) did that? Or rather was it a few misguided members of the Catholic Church? I hope you see your error now. You simply CANNOT blame the past mistakes of a few men on an entire religion.

And if you think you can for a second, then I may say that Hitler, a Protestant Christian, models your sect. That is incredibly false obviously. So it is with Catholicism. God bless.

@Archangel777Catholic you tray to put it nicely, about the prayers at confession. You can make beautiful religion with words, but it remains, Jesuits priests flagellate themselves, Filipino Catholics, pierce their hands at Easter time, in Italy nuns close themselves in compleate seclution. I am a christian I pray morning and nights. for forgiveness etc etc. but I left the catholic church. they build the cupola of saint peter with the money of indigence and burned john hus
