Very good point. But I hope you have the freethinking capability to understand the drive of what I was saying.
Yes, you were making one of those "time of the month" comments. Very silly.

Sorry deamon, I had to read the bible for myself because it was the girls and not the sermons that attracted me to church.

Inspired men made the rule and it takes another inspired man to change this.

Teaching is related to endorsing, is it not? You don't teach something you don't endorse. Forgiveness is related to acceptance. Splashing claimed that the Church teaches child molestation by forgiving those who do it. That is the equivocation I responded to.

Oh, and people can becomes sick by their own will. The doctor doesn't refuse to treat you just because you were the moron going ice diving. Why shouldn't we be just as caring about those who are sick with sin?

How do you know they were inspired? Because they said so? Which is more valuable to you, the word of someone who died a long time ago, or your own thoughts and opinions?

What about the pediatrician who abuses trust by commtting multiple incidents of malpractice or raping his patients?

I am not advocating execution for these priests, but I do find it ironic that they are sheltered by the church and allowed to retain their rank, while these women are excommunicated.

The Church is still inspired today and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. These are actually my thoughts and opinions.

Related, certainly.

You obviously aren't aware that people can learn from what you do, even when you contradict it with your words. It is very easy to teach something you don't endorse.

What equivocation?

Perhaps you believe the whole "whoops, I slipped, my penis just slipped into his ass" line, but I do not. This is not analogous to an accident or even putting yourself in a risky situation. You seem confused about the whole issue, perhaps you need it explained for you?
