Not that I care if a person is gay or not ... but with the moral pretense of Christianity and Catholicism I must ask:

Is it just me or is that Priest really really gay?

Shhhhhhh!

That business about "pushing on kids" kinda gives the game away. ;-)

502. Fox News Discussion on 'The Golden Compass'

Comment #86126 by steveroot on November 8, 2007 at 7:54 am

I saw a photo of the Pope recently, and he don't look too healthy. I actually feel sorry for these guys in a way- it probably shortens their lives to be in such a goldfish bowl (a position as basically untenable as the whale over Magrathea). But I digress...

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to choose a new Head Sphincter (where the Papal Bull comes from), I hope the collegial fellows will consider Father Jonathan Morris for the job. He's young enough that his long tenure would allow some of these sticky issues to be resolved. :-)

A quote from the JW spokesperson in that article:

"Many believe blood equals life and no blood equals death - it is not that simple. Abstaining from blood often cuts out the chance of other diseases and other health outcomes."

Yes. Like DEATH.

To get an insight into just how crazy JWs are when it comes to the issue of blood check this out:

From The Watchtower:

"Have the dangers since been eliminated so that transfusions are now safe? Frankly, each year hundreds of thousands have adverse reactions to blood, and many die."

515. Mother dies after refusing blood

Comment #85231 by steveroot on November 5, 2007 at 10:23 am

What a god-damned shame.
@tieInterceptor: it's not eligible for those awards because she has already passed aong her genetic material- in duplicate.

Another "faith" is "christian science". A good friend of my wife took 8 years to die of a squamous cell carcinoma on her eyelid because she was a "good" c. scientist. At her funeral, one of her cultish friends expressed her happiness that the dead one was in a "better place". I nearly vomited on the spot. The woman was a walking skeleton for the last few months before she went to "glory" and, though she never complained, I suspect she was in pain. There is a good book about this cult:
God's Perfect Child: Living and Dying in the Christian Science Church, by Caroline Fraser.
What amazes me is a) how many prominent people are/were CS and b) how they would be willing to let their children die for lack of medical attention (generally and fortunately prevented by legal intervention). Also interesting: CS are allowed to receive dental treatment (it's not *medicine*, after all!) and women are allowed obstetric services. This is the definition of "FUBAR".

11. Comment #84828 by ridelo on November 3, 2007 at 7:01 pm
At the other side of the spectrum: I visited an elderly person in a geriatric clinic. They had a few cases of the 'hospital bacterium' there and they allowed young children (babies!) to come there with their parents.
The nurses were wearing masks when they attended the affected rooms but they said that healthy people shouldn't be afraid of contamination.
Am I a germophobic when I disapprove of this behavior?

Maybe not completely. Assuming the "hospital bacterium" you refer to is MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), there is justified concern in exposure of very young individuals to this organism. See the Mayo clinic site:

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mrsa/DS00735/DSECTION=1

Here's what they say about the risks of catching it "out and about":

These are the main risk factors for community-acquired (CA) MRSA:

* Young age. CA-MRSA can be particularly dangerous in children. Often entering the body through a cut or scrape, MRSA can quickly cause a wide spread infection. Children may be susceptible because their immune systems aren't fully developed or they don't yet have antibodies to common germs. Children and young adults are also much more likely to develop dangerous forms of pneumonia than older people are.
* Participating in contact sports. CA-MRSA has crept into both amateur and professional sports teams. The bacteria spread easily through cuts and abrasions and skin-to-skin contact.
* Sharing towels or athletic equipment. Although few outbreaks have been reported in public gyms, CA-MRSA has spread among athletes sharing razors, towels, uniforms or equipment.
* Having a weakened immune system. People with weakened immune systems, including those living with HIV/AIDS, are more likely to have severe CA-MRSA infections.
* Living in crowded or unsanitary conditions. Outbreaks of CA-MRSA have occurred in military training camps and in American and European prisons.
* Association with health care workers. People who are in close contact with health care workers are at increased risk of serious staph infections.

steveroot, no, I tried to get www.gr8hands.com but some dentist already had the website. I thought about complaining to him, but he looked down in the mouth, so I resisted. (sorry for the groaner!)

Comment #84114 by steveroot on November 1, 2007 at 7:34 am

I'm all for free expression and tolerance of unpopular points of view. However, the WBC activities, even if technically "protected speech*, are clearly intended to be hurtful. The purpose of free speech is to permit the open dissemination and discussion of ideas without fear of reprisal. Their *must* be an acceptable compromise that allows the slime-balls to express their idiotic point of view while not spoiling the occasion for the mourners. Funerals are for the living; no one should have the memory of their last experience of a loved one marred by such behavior.

How about similar protests at a same-sex marriage? Or *any* marriage? Would this not be considered "disturbing the peace"? Why is it permitted at a funeral? If that dead soldier were my son, I would be quite likely to make his funeral an occasion to remember for at least one of those sphincter suckers. And I'm about as non-violent as they come.

Inayat Bunglawala, the MCB assistant secretary-general, said: "Bookshops sell a variety of publications and we live in an open, democratic society where it is not illegal to sell books which contain antiWestern views."

Surely, then, in such an open, democratic society it would not be objectionable to publish anti-islamic material (even cartoons!). Fair is fair.

The more one learns about science and nature, the more awesome and wonderful they appear--and the more pathetic theism seems. The problem is that most people are too lazy to learn science and mathematics to any depth. It's much easier to believe in magic.

Therefore it is extraordinarily easy to give an example of a moral action, as accounted so by a religion, which can ONLY be performed by a believer, since righteousness, by definition, requires a relationship with a being whose very existence is denied by athiests and non-believers.

QED. Can we move on, now, please?

By "Q.E.D." (quod erat demonstrandum, "that which was to be proven", more-or-less) you claim a well-demonstrated, logical thought process leading from a premise to the conclusion. This requires more than bible quotes.

Oh, I get it... you were just joking! Silly me.

For some religious people, when you die, you go to afterlife.
Does it happen with mental capacity that you had at moment of death?
For example, if 5 year old boy dies, his mind goes to afterlife as mind of a 5 year old?
If my 98 year old granny dies, would her mind go to afterlife at that particular state?

And what about those ever-present aborted embryos and fetuses? Sitting around comparing their tri-laminar construction, comparing each other to embryos and fetuses of lower life forms? ("You look like a newt!" "Do not!" ... and so forth.) Fascinating.

Comment #78485 by steveroot on October 13, 2007 at 7:37 am

Does this seem like it's going to happen anytime soon?

"So what do Muslims need to do? A paradigm shift is essential. Muslims must realise that the awesome strength of Western civilisation – which also made possible its predatory imperialism – springs from accepting the premises of science and logic, respecting democratic institutions (at least within national borders), allowing value systems to evolve, and boldly challenging dogma without being condemned for blasphemy. They must connect the West's success with personal freedom and liberty, superior work ethics, artistic and scientific creativity, and the compulsive urge to innovate and experiment."

That's a tall order...

Goldy, Steveroot, and Lee,

Thanks for the kind words, but as Goldy observes, there will always be something that Mark will pick up on that seems to discredit the evidence. Sorry, Steve, for mangling your name.

I don't think it was you who mangled it, and it doesn't really matter anyway. You obviously have some biblical scholarship in you, and I am impressed. I wish I had the disposition and the time to undertake the study that would get me up to the level of you and numerous others here. Keep up the good work.

As for discrediting the evidence, it's all wrong to some folks. So they just need to make up huge lengthy (apparently random, but often highly creative!) arguments to rebut it. In the end, I don't see many minds being changed.

But then again the Buddhist may respond that to be curious about such matters does not increase happiness or peace of mind either :-)

Well, for me it does – there is nothing like the happiness and peace of mind that come with understanding.

At the risk of provoking another 1500 word post, I wonder what it is that we've understood here. Perhaps the word ("understanding") is being used in a sense I'm not familiar with. ;-)

"First of all, Steve, I want to say....Nice picture! :)"

Thanks! I think I bear a striking resemblence to Moses, don't you think?
"I was speaking of the God that made the rules....not the little "g" gods..."

How careless of me. Let me re-phrase that:

Now let me see... which God shall I ask for forgiveness? There's Zeus, Quetz, Teapot... I think the Flying Spaghetti Monster feeds my soul's needs best. RaMen!
