Fascinating...I think you may have actually helped me find my label. I'm a Christian pantheist... Quick, get a plane ticket to Ontario, I'll get steaks, beer, and grass, and we'll discuss by the backyard campfire.

What's a "Christian pantheist"?

Well, it's either a Christian stealing a bunch of pants (just saw that now...hehe)… OR

pan·the·ism
/ˈpanTHēˌizəm/

noun

noun: pantheism

1. a doctrine that identifies God with the universe, or regards the universe as a manifestation of God.

As a Christian, I actually do not have an issue with that. An omnipresent god could only be so if they were a part of everything in the universe, so this makes sense to me. :)

Why mention which god? Everyone knows it's referring to Krishna... ;)


But I think the Christian God has good support for it in comparison to all the others...

But the definition does capitalize it...so of course it means the Christian god. ;) See, even the dictionary believes in God. Ready to convert yet? :lamo

Tell me, why are we NOT using the word "terrorism" when it comes to the world-wide disgrace that's the Catholic Church's absolute destruction of thousands and thousands of lives?

Because stupid emotion of people with an axe to grind and prone to hyperbole and overreaction doesn’t override the commonly used meaning of words

The other option is that I can ignore you and Vegas. I am frankly surprised that this population is as ignorant as they are, we've known about this for - what - 30 years? And you guys are just now getting around to clutching your pearls and falling on your fainting couches? No, this is just the meeting of the outrage du jour society and the trolls are out in full force. I do what I can.

Don't like my posts? Don't read them.

So can I, and it strikes me that you'd rather troll than have an actual conversation. No thanks.

Don't play coy; you were responding to my saying that where there is an opportunity, there will be an opportunist, and you demonstrated that very nicely.

As you are right now. You in fact are proving your own point.

No, it's because asking nicely will yield a much better outcome, and asking nicely is something YOU have much trouble with. I didn't think even you would be so crass as to write something like this in a reference to opportunism:

Why, you seem to think that I am only referring to the sex scandals of the Catholic church, not don't you? I am being much more generic than that.
