Lisa, I have never left you with a one word, nothingness, ever ever ever.

Never mind the LGBT’s, what about just plain old women in the Church or any church? I’ve never understood that one. If the women would quit showing up, obeying, and giving money, the whole Ponzi scheme would quickly fall apart.

We mainly have to deal with the incredibly uneducated prod and pseudo-prod (too dumb to even know they’re prods since they don’t know any history at all) fuckwits here in God’s country, who go around parading with signs like “God didn’t make Adam and Steve!” I asked one, one time, if God didn’t make them, who the fuck did? No coherent answer from Mr. Fuckwit, but then again I wasn’t expecting a logical response.

Catholic priests not exactly being thick on the ground here in the States, they tend to hold their tongues a bit more, as daily they watch their educated followers (and money) decamp to the Church of It’smydayoffandI’llbefuckedifIspenditatmass and the not-so-educated ones decamp to the Pentecostals and Jehovah’s Witlesses. I don’t understand why there has not been a massive split between the mainstream Catholic Church and the American Catholic Church, a la the whole Anglican thing going on.

And don’t even get me started on the Presbyterians. I have yet to come to an understanding of how they can believe that a person’s life is predestined and judged by God beforehand, and yet you are still supposed to sit through a church service every week no matter. I suppose it’s a bit much to expect logic and reason from a bunch of people selling shares in a fairy tale, but still.

It’s an intentionally broad statement, emordino. In many cases, people like to believe that there’s something out there bigger than themselves. I guess I’m trying to accept that this is human nature, so I shouldn’t harp too loudly about the futility of the whole “life” thing. It’s a bit wet of me, I’ll admit. Look at me and my attempt at tact!

Vince, forgive my thickosity, but who/what’s Omey? Maybe I have brain freeze, but all I can think of is Omar of The Wire.

Is there a need for Omey to mount a defence ?.

Not quite the same thing in fairness.

Vincent’s not a racist, but…

This raised an eyebrow: “I understand that there is a need for belief in a higher power”. Is that poor phrasing or do you really believe that applies across the board?

Thought I was exhausted with indignation and anger and frustration till I read your good post Sweary. And, is this the very first post which inspired the Irish Begrudger to make a serious response? Have you mutilated Flann’s funny bits with a Bishop’s crosier? Oh god, how is it that when the church should be caved and dead in the grave from recent and repeating revelations, how is it that he appears to be seeping back into our consciousness like a raping river which has flooded its banks. The church in Ireland = the non-receding rapist river. Build up your flood defence and get going with them sand bags.

That is a post that calls for an intelligent, well-thought response. So hear you go Sweary…

“Yay!!!!”

For I couldn’t have put that better myself.
