With Amos, its all about 'gymnastics with words'

Please don't confound him with "you dictionary speach"

...womanity, indeed

You're right Panta, I would probably have more credibility by saying, "I asked one hundred people on the street what they thought gender and sex meant and they replied males and females". He's (or should I be saying that anymore??) merely playing with words whilst trying to make the rest of us look like our only brain cell left years ago.

It was Euripides who said it best in "The Bacchae":

"Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish."

Of course, our sense identity wich is not equal to our brain because with chemicals we can change our sensations (sense identity), but not our sense. Our sensations consists off both our sanity and our foolity (its counterpart) and an increase in our sanity will be at the reduction of our foolity (notice the - ity suffix here) or vice versa.

...or is it the other way around in backwards reverse?

Amos, a little help here.

All religions are a moral pit. Protestants have Henry VIII.

Or to paraphrase a wise old Jedi:

"Who's more foolish, the fool or the one who argues with him?"

Thanks for the backup, Panta. Occasionally I can't resist and try to post a coherent reply to Amos, only to be reminded of my folly. I'm pretty certain none of his RC "philosophy" was mentioned in my 10+ years of CCD indoctrination.

'Fess up, Amos! You're really just an AI experiment designed to spout nearly-comprehensible babble from an ever-increasing pool of pseudo-Catholic mystical free-association ramblings! Well we've found you out, so have your geeky programmers revise their algorithms and try again under a different user name.

Well you can trust your senses but not always your perceptions of them because life in limbo is an illusion or life itself could not be real.

Our sanity is real but when we rely upon our lymbic system for sense perception we are often driven by desires and that is how we go wrong. This is can create a chemical reaction that makes us think we are something that we are not and kind of look cross at the world we see around us to make insanity known to the sane.

Well Andy you are a good sport and can't resist the challenge towards the discovery of truth. Stay tuned because there is lots more of it where I come from.

What do you mean by saying "what does the church have to do with the moral behaviour of the priest"? Are you on drugs, Amos! The church does claim to be an institution advocating moral behaviour to its followers and indeed the world.

You would cut a priest's actions off from the strictures of the church? The priest is a lone wolf operating in an institution which cares not for his actions? That is utter nonsense. Your bloody religion is the priests!!!!!! All the buildings and statues are nothing without the drivel spouted by the priests. If they fondle little boys's wee-wees, then the damn church is responsible because the pedophile father is the friggin' church.

Your snivelling religion is given tax exemption and wide berth in society to educate and inculcate children with your catholic myths. How dare you exempt the institution from the criminal actions of the priests. The bloody church hired these low-lives and protected them. Your catholic religion is nihilism dressed up in morality. Your priests are snakes.

Amos

Catholic Church and moral behavior? Why do you think they have the confessionals if not to pardon sinners for the time being so they can go and do it again. I mean, to say 5 hail Mary's to clear your conscience is rather cheap and much better than the conviction of going to hell, don't you think so? (and if you think it is too much you can always skip a few, or tell 'm a lie as far as that goes and walk away from it feeling like a king while beating your chest all the way to the next bar).

Hey sullster, the church will pay and even if the rest of them can't or won't, the problem is still yours because it is not restricted to the Church and pedophelia is on the increase and will be on the increase for a long time to come. The Church is just a good cash cow for you this time and may you milk it for all it is worth (but don't let it eat your heart out or you'll go next).
