    Or people outraged by institutional abuse, paedophilia and subsequent cover up by an organisation that still refuses to make amends, that still acts like it has a shred of moral authority and that still behaves like it should have any influence in modern Ireland.

    But I'll let you decide for yourself.

    Said people have no problem whatsoever dishing out harsh criticisms in all directions.....not too fond on receiving any though.

    Most Muslims I have met are far more christian than the church goers.

    The same muslims who pass kids around for everyone to have a go on the kid?

    Yeah much better raped by a gang. Hipster tendencies trump kids safety.

    Too bad that the RC will barely exist in Ireland. It's a fast decline

    You can't prove they are wrong and that Christianity and other religions had a role in 'taming the savage nature of man' as the Greek philosophers used say.

    You can see nothing good in Christianity and never will. It's myopic.

    Well religion obviously refined man, from the very first animal gods to modern religion. Its why humans survived

    Well I'm afraid it does. I gave you factual changes post Christianity. You gave me opinion.

    No no. You gave me opinion, do not get confused and think otherwise.


    I don't have to prove you wrong. That is like me saying I am jesus himself, you must prove me wrong otherwise I am unquestionably correct.

    Religion had to exist. People had to be scared in order to obey. But that has changed, we have the law now.

    Look it's survived for a millennium and a half. You're commenting from 1 year, 2018. It may decline, revive. It's faced stern tests. Don't put your house on it.

    It’s embarrassing.

    Oh I don't need to. Where are you going to get the priests from ? Oh we can ordain women - wait maybe not.

    Gay marriage, abortion, you can't stop the tide

    There was no argument. I did it and some can't accept it.

    How do you know you prevented 35 people from attending the Phoenix Park event who were pro the pope? You may have stopped 35 going who wanted to protest against this "poison" as you so eloquently put it. At the end of the day your action was selfish and not based on principle.

    Totally different. Charting evolution of learning in early Christian Europe etc and your opinion that things would happen 'spontaneously'. Out of your depth son, just because you're a mod doesn't mean you can talk crap, absolute crap here.

    Well the structure hasn't changed in a very very long time. RC's seem happy with that.

    Middle ages Kings thought they were chosen by God, so does the Pope. Proof if ever needed that God doesn't exist :pac:

    Married priests will come about through time, women priests, Africa, Asia.

    P.s. The Tide goes out after it comes in.
