Reminds me of a joke.......
A boy goes to confession. When he is about to leave, the priest informs him that he needs to use the bathroom, and would the boy please take over the confessional for a moment? SO the boy does, receiving a sheet of paper listing sins and their corresponding penance requirements. A man comes into the confessional, and starts talking to the boy, and among his sins lists "sodomy". Amazingly, this is not on the list, so the boy ducks out the back to find out what penance is required of the man. He finds an altar boy, and asks: "Excuse me, what does the priest give one for sodomy?"
The altar boy answers...................."Two Twinkies and a soda."
Erm. While we're on bad humor. I'm a baptized Catholic, so mods go easy please.

As to what the bad bishop said... how about...
"Well, time to join the Mormons. Good living on the speaking tour there." ... it's an inside joke, so don't worry if you don't get it. Mormons love to hear "conversion" stories. Especially from Jewish and/or Clergy. 😛

When I was born, they dumped some wateron my head.
When I was a few months old, my parents stopped going to church.
When I was 5, I decided the religion thing was sort of silly.
A few years later, maybe 5 or 6, I went agnostic.
This summer, based on thoughts clarified in a few threads on RHP, my views switched to outrights atheism.
I have a formerly Mormon uncle. Apparently he tried some conversion on his extended family. No success I'm afraid 😕.
EDIT...that's 5 or six years later.

Originally posted by UncleAdamI've found that one can learn a lot from an evangelical sect strictly on the basis of its pamphlets. The Mormon ones are big, with a lot of pictures of Jesus harassing Plains Indians, while the Jehovah's Witnesses tend to distribute small pamphlets that are often weathered and torn by the time they are discovered under the windsheild wipers, owing to their small size. I have little experience with other types of pamphlet.

Originally posted by royalchickenI dont really like either of them, they seem to treat church like a business more then a house of God by going door to door and handing out cards and pamphlets.

Indeed I agree with you wholeheartedly that one's personal beliefs are one's own affair. While I may have argued my fair share in the religion threads, please understand that I am merely pointing out the reasons why I have a particular set of beliefs, not personally attacking those with religious convictions.
Tonight, I have managed posts on the hour at 2000, 2100, and 2200, while doing my homework. THis would not be that odd, except I have done the same thing not too long ago. Weird.
Originally posted by royalchickenI have understud the whole time that you have not attacked any religions or belifes, although I have seen a few freethinkers and athists make a few attacks.

Well, I suppose it would not be befitting a Freethinker to apologize for what others in our clan have said. Rwingett has vocally tried to make it understood that Freethinkers are held to different kinds of standards than the more religious types are, as they should be. Comparing apples to oranges is not sensible.
I think these discussions have yielded some good thoughts, out of freethinkers and non-Ft theists alike. In this regard, I think richjohnson, StarValleyWy, Kirksey957, Bbarr, and huntingbear have distinguished themselves. Others (including a Freethinker's Clan member) have not been so thoughful, and have caused trouble. But to each his own I suppose.
