Gee, that came from left field, if you have noticed, i am against organised religious nonsense, so your comment missed the target.

You wrongly presume, because i use the name Vishva that i am hindu, but thats like thinking that Captain Cook is a chef. aaah

So if I showed a pedophile that wasn't in an organized religion it would show that people like you are pedos right?

I think he means that so long as you are not apart of organized religion you remain "pure".

Of course, this is obviously more goobly gook so please ignore this post. 😛

Perhaps V is not like any human who has ever lived. Thus he can criticize humans without admitting to human frailties or similarities to others.

I know of no reputable source that convicts Calvin of pedophilia/child abuse. Nor have I found an iota of proof that he ever killed ANYone, nor did he HAVE anyone killed (he didn't have the power). Like Luther, Wesley, and other church fathers, he had faults, but these are recorded. That's the difference in Christians and other faiths---we accept our heroes warts and all: when they are right, they can be sublime; when they're wrong, we're all over 'em and let them know it!
