Well I see the world as a sinful,sick, and chaotic place, which has diseased/ignorant infested humans who are blinded and focused on the material and pleasures of sex,money,hate,and ability to satisfy ones own selfishness, BUT HEY! THATS JUST ME TALKING!
You mean like all of the Christian leaders and Republicans that we see on the news every other day? It surely seems to me that if you want to find the worst money grubbing materialistic, immoral, hateful people, all you have to do is look at Radical Conservative Christians and Right-Wing Authoritarian Republicans.
I guess, if those are the people you choose to hang out with, you might get such a negative, fearful view of humanity.
Happily, I steer clear of such nasty folk and as a result, see the world as a much better place than you clearly do.

all of the Christians.. do you even think before you post? oh yes nator the whole U.S.A has only 1 religion.. No!
Please notice I didn't say "all the christians". I said:

well I'm guessing Darwin was a free spiritual man who gave his books away for free right? Most people I know today really think the author of "origin of the species" was really stubborn and decided to say,"the hell with you all" and publish his work just so he could make a buck.
You know a lot of misinformed people, apparently.
Have you ever read Origin of Species? Exactly how much money do you think Darwin made from its publication?
quote:
By the way nator, don't you even dare try to compare The Catholic religion to Christianity. The Christians repent to The Lord our God, unlike the Catholics who repent in a booth to a priest, who doesn't have the authority to hand you forgiveness on a silver platter, because when you repent you're more likely telling God "I'll change my ways if you forgive me" but not many people change, so of course they just keep sinning and didn't change at all. but to say the least their learning how to repent, they just need some adjustments.
Catholics are christians, despite your bigotry regarding their doctrine and customs.
By the way, why have you nothing to say about the "Christian leaders and Republicans that we see on the news every other day? It surely seems to me that if you want to find the worst money grubbing materialistic, immoral, hateful people, all you have to do is look at Radical Conservative Christians and Right-Wing Authoritarian Republicans."?
Happily, I steer clear of such nasty folk and as a result, see the world as a much better place than you clearly do.

Prostitution,
Like the male prostitute Dobson was with, or the several Republican lawmakers who've been caught soliciting gay sex in bathrooms and hitting up teenage boys for sex and plying them with pot? Or the other Republican Representative who molested his foster daughters by telling them he was "examining" them for fertility?
Like them?
quote:
murder,rape,
You mean like the prominen Republican beurocrat who analy raped his narcoleptic wife?
quote:
greed,
You mean like the Televangelists who fly around in jets and buy diamond mines and just plain embezzel money from their churche's donation coffers?
Like them?
quote:
lust,stealing,
Covered those already, but we have to include the great Christian tax evader, Kent Hovind.
quote:
cursing,hate,lying,
Plenty of lying going on in the above scenarios, and we have to include AiG and Gish for lying. Let us also include Phelps, Robertson and Falwell for the hate.
quote:
and blasphemy, well thats all i saw to day. mostly murder and rape on the news earlier this morning.
OK, but so what? Are you saying that it isn't Christians doing these crimes, mostly? Most people in prison in the US self-identify as christian, you know.
quote:
The reason i post something about Darwin's work was a example of a Money grubbing materialistic and somewhat immoral personality.
How much money did Darwin make from his book?
In comparison, how much money did Jerry Fallwell make from his book?

But the dog protects the house, fetches the paper, and does his best to provide a companion to the wife and kids. I like going on morning runs with him, too! (theooretically)
Er, since when is a dog's master always male?
In most pet-containing households I've known that consist of a straight couple and some kids, it is the woman and possibly the kids who take care of all the animals.
