►► This priest is one creepy motherfucker. And yes, Hitler—as well as Nazi Germany—was a Catholic. The pedophile, I mean, priest, needs to be bitch-slapped into reason.

Priest- trusting in the sources that we're reading

Michael- you mean the bible?... that endorses slavery?...

With representatives like F. Morris (F for 'fuck'), God must be doing a facepalm.

satan said no. 

[Anders Jenbo]

That reminds me how ironic is that when angels aren't even supposed to have free will in the first place.

[Alec Johnson]

Great english skills.

[Marzattacz]

while we are all talking about how miserably the priest failed...he said if god revealed himself to us so we know we would lose our free will....hmmm...so how does he explain fallen angels?? they know god exists 100% yet they choose not to follow and are free not to follow him...hmmm didn't stop their free will did priest. FAIL again!

Yahweh should tell Farther Morris to stop interrupting. Morris' says Yahweh is proven because humans can love more than animals. I don't think so. Humans are the only (or one of the very few) species that will kill for pleasure. They commit atrocities against other humans for ideas - like believing in the "wrong" religion. Intelligence is only an evolutionary attempt to fill a niche in the environment. Intelligence could be a dead end if the environment changes. Its not a 'gift' from Yahweh.

You go from saying he wasnt a catholic to he wasnt a practicing catholic? Hitler was a catholic he was also a creationist he didn't believe in evolution, what a dummy. He never renounced his faith nor did the church excommunicate him. Why don't U do your research and see what he had inscribed on the SS belt buckle. I believe it was from the bible but you should look for yourself.

I don't think the priest is creepy; I just think he's wrong. He seems like a nice guy, who has his apologetic routine down tight. I'd love to argue with him - or rather, discuss - but I'd want to do it in a friendly way over dinner and a beer or two or eight. (And I'd much rather have a friendly personal debate with a Catholic priest like him than with the average evangelical - not to mention Muslim - apologist!)
