The New Place

This whitewashes the issue of who in the hierarchy knew, and when did they know it. What is in the public on that is quite horrifying. Also the issue is centered in the Vatican itself. Journalists from the PBS video I posted estimate that 50% of the Vatican is gay and sexually active. It's bizarre ...

Why do people concern themselves so much with religion? Religions are just power structures which play on our fear of death to manipulate and control us. In fact, all we need is a sound code of ethics which will frame our behaviour in respect of our own society and the world as a whole. A code whic...

Neverfail, I wonder whether you would like to read the following article, by the Australian economist Steve Keen, and give us your opinion on what he says: Speculators will make hay from great Australian economic crash while workers pay the price https://www.rt.com/op-ed/436263-australia-economy-sto...

There are a couple of things I think I can rely upon: 1. The universe exists and is evolving; 2. There is a time sequence which I believe is true anywhere in the universe: first there is a material world but no life; then life appears; eventually life generates consciousness. 3.

I have, thats what they often tell me face to face. They say, have good time, make friends, go on vacation. Then when Anthony Bourdain commits suicide they have no other answer. That I've seen.

Yeah, they pretty much say party and have a good time, but that didn't work out too well for Anthony Bourdain et al. Most of us find all that stuff lacking. Do you really think that seculars only care about partying and having a good time?.. Maybe you should try and talk in earnest with a secular p...

Why do people concern themselves so much with religion? That seems to bother you Sertorio. Why? Because it is irrational. Well,for me the most normal and natural thing in the World is to be a believer. I see being an atheist as contrived and bogus. I explained why I thought it is irrational, but yo...

On the other hand, if he has not the strength of character to overcome temptation then he probably had no calling to become a priest in the first place. Priesthood and celibacy are in no way related. Priests in the Orthodox Church are usually married, therefore there is no need to repress one's sex...

i think there is a vast vast difference between buying consumer products, promiscuity and pedophilia with disproportionate homosexuality. Somehow only the Catholic Church managed to go full gay and pedo because of these social changes, no other Church or institution comes close. You are right, and ...
