Proxima Centauri

Gemma Therese have you read the links about children kidnapped, beaten and worked to death. You said you have a younger brother. How would you like it if anything like that happened to him. You are fortunate. You live in the developed world and those disasters will happen in other, poorer people's families.
Children and adults are tortured to death. All you can think of is that, in your opinion, I've ruined a good thread. I think I've improved the thread by adding important information.


Gemma Therese please read about the torture and say you are sorry for that insensitive post. Is it too much for you that an atheist/agnostic can think of something moral which you overlooked.

Try doing something kind to torture victims as well as 'makeing an effort to be especially warm and kind to those people in your life who really, really irritate you.'
I've read about torture involved in cocoa production. I've seen a programme about it on British television. The pain of those forced to work making the cocoa we eat upsets me. I wouldn't be normal if it didn't.
All you do is complain that in your opinion I've ruined a thread. Can you understand why you really, really irritate me?
Try and be warm and kind to me instead of making insensitive posts.

Gemma Therese

You don't irritate me, B. Shack, you sadden me.

Torture doesn't upset you?
Torture doesn't sadden you?

Torture is abominable. Read the tortures inflicted upon Catholics in Mexico, Spain, and China this century. Your skin will crawl.

Read about the tortures inflicted by Catholics on Mexican Indians, Chinese people, and Spanish fellow Catholics in the last 5 centuries and your skin will crawl even more.

Torture IS abominable. Are you sure that you're not supporting torture through your economic and political choices?
If you learned that you were supporting it, what would you do?

I think it's hilarious that modern Christians think that Jesus is somehow made happy when people, trying to re-create his 40 days/nights of suffering by giving up rather insignificant things like shopping and chocolate. If I were Jesus I'd be insulted.

Some Catholic asked my co-worker what he was giving up for lent.
His reply: superstitions.
He didn't get it.
