Mommy was raised a devout catholic who went to a parochial school. She could could see the hypocrisy of the church back then, and hardly ever attended.I wouldn't have known then as a 5 yr old, I was living during a liberation FROM the WASP image required for the first 200 yrs to be an American president .

7. You have a right to your own opinion. It has many problems but the catholic church

isn't a cult and just because you don't like the catholic church doesn't make it so. Sorry to disagree with you. Catholicism is one of the oldest religions.

9. Voltaire: "The first priest was the first rogue who met the first fool."

14. Carl Sagan !!! Turned me on to Voltaire !!!!

After my English teacher turned me off, by making us read ' Candide ' . ' The Huron or Pupil of nature ' exemplifies human nature at it's most absurd. and is why I took it for my handle. Sagans ' Baloney Detection Kit ' is one of the best tools for critical thinking ever invented, and can be understood by any G.E.D that wants to, as I am one and use it often.

10. All religions are cults.

Being older than others means nothing.

11. oldest

doesn't make it a 'good' religion, yet I say to each their own. One way or another, one day we will ALL find out what's true.

13. And a cult, as far as a Sub -Culture of Christianity

And I've received every sacrament but, the priesthood, marriage and death, and stick up for it in many cases HERE on DU . Yes I disagree with condeming homosexuals and abetting pedophiles, defending war while condemming abortion, but I also know of the Millions the church has helped and in many cases saved the lives of .

4. I remember that!

They were soooooo worried he'd be taking orders from the Vatican!

What maroons!

[pscot]

12. And now the Supreme Court takes its ordrs from the Vatican

and no-one finds it odd or disturbing.

6. Kinda makes sense when you consider

that the Dems ran a female candidate for the vice presidency ... and the Repugs/conservatives did the same ... in conservative style ... 20 years later (literally).

Conservatives generally seem to adopt/claim the liberal stances ... at earliest, 20 years later, when it seems "conservative" to do so ...
