Originally posted by KneverKnightThey were widely quoted in just about every religious discussion about homosexuality, abortion and other issues. The focus is little on religious tolerance, had that been the case, it would solely focus on extremist religious groups, eg : certain Muslem groups that practise persecution against those of other faiths (eg: Christians in Indonesia). Instead the attempt is at discrediting Christianity (any non- ultra liberal denomination) and particularly the Catholic Church.
Here's a site that I thought you all would like (or hate, depends on your views). It addresses much that has been debated here.

From their site.
"In the Fall of 1999, the Kansas City Star sent a questionnaire to 3,000 priests in the U.S. 73% did not reply. The low response rate could be anticipated. One would expect homosexuals and bisexuals to be reluctant to respond to the questionnaire since it deals with such a sensitive issue, and originated from a newspaper. Homosexual and bisexual priests would probably be less likely to reply to the survey. Among the 801 priests who did reply: 75% said they had a heterosexual orientation;
15% homosexual;
5% bisexual. 9 "
The site is not about tolerance, the domain name alone does not define what it is about 😉

Should a wolf claim his mother's mother was a sheep, would you believe it ? RT is nothing more than anti-theist propoganda dressed up in a pink frock. Perhaps if I purchased 'ILoveDarwin.com' and highlighted my site mandate in bold, Verdana, 18, claiming to seek his true works, I could then continue to convince all naturalists that that Darwin himself believed the World was created in 7 days...
Nope, sounds like some of those claims that on his death bed Darwin rejected evolution and embraced Christianity. As much as I would like to believe it, I don't. Domain names are a dime a dozen (or $8.99) if you know where to look. Site Mandates are nothing more than ASCII characters and HTML. Any code monkey could set that up 🙂
