"After 700 years of occupancy, a landlord is entitled to ask the tenants to move. Apparently something like that is happening at the Vatican, where, the Guardian reports, the decision has been made to evict the occupants and close limbo."

can they do that :shrug: is that a thing that can be done :shrug: :shrug: and o'reilly says the "secularists losing the debate", what a joke, western 'religion' is frittering the debate away

:rofl:

1. I know..

I mean; this is so blatantly obvious to prove that the religion is man-made in its entirety that it boggles the mind.
Sorry; that sentence is a bit run on. You know what I mean.

[bridgit]

2. at this rate islam is destined to prevail, there is no alternative to...

allah

[lildreamer316]

4. Actually

I think people are just becoming more secular and the church is fighting a battle to keep the parishioners they have.
oops..were you joking?

[bridgit]

12. no...i wasn't joking...

the horizon is broad containing many people, not just christians, too many already use jesus juice & evangelical fundamentalism as a means to perpetrate upon the commercial resources of other people yet again; a consistent theological base may be seen by many others yet again as a commodity in and of itself

[madeline_con]

5. There are Muslim sects who have equally crazy ideas.

I'm just not sure which one worries about floating infants.

[BlueEyedSon]

7. Yeah, they can just change the rules of the afterlife by petition...

[bridgit]

13. “When I was back there in seminary school...

“There was a man there who put forth the proposition…
“That you could petition The Lord with prayer.
“Petition The Lord with prayer…

“Petition…

“The Lord…

“With prayer…

“………

“………

“………

“YOU!

“CANNOT!!

“PETITION THE LORD!!!

“WITH PRAYER!!!!

“Dead cats. Dead rats.
“Think you’re an aristocrat?
“That’s crap!
“Ah that’s crap…
“Fat cat in a top hat…
“Did you see where they were at?
“Think you can kill and slaughter?
“Think you can shoot my daughter?
“Dead cats. Dead rats.
“Think you’re an aristocrat?
“That’s crap!
“You know the day destroys the night…
“Night divides the day…
“Try to run…
“Try to hide…
“Break on through,
“To the other side.
“Break on through,
“To the other side.
“Break on through,
“To the other side, yeah…”

14. Why not? We made up the rules in the first place. n/t

[BlueEyedSon]

20. i guess that was my point.....

[madeline_con]

3. Limbo? Pergatory for babies???

Is this the most ridiculous shit you've ever heard?

Absolutely proves religion was thought up by some very bored people who wanted power over others.

[stillcool]

10. OMG...I just had a flash-back...

about venial and mortal(sp) sins....boy, that stuff is buried deep...but I think pergatory is for sinners-lite, where hell is for the real deal. St. Peter is limiting his options it appears...

[lildreamer316]

6. LOVE this paragraph!

"All of a sudden the firmament is to be inundated by millions — nay, perhaps billions — of unbaptized babies bumping into angels, clogging up celestial trumpets and interfering with the plucking of harps. The music of the spheres is about to take an awesome drop in quality."
:rofl:

[bridgit]

19. "clogging up celestial trumpets & interfering with the plucking of harps"

what a gloriously divine mess :rofl: it's like a scene from the marx brothers O8)

[TankLV]

29. Not to mention the smell of all those dirty diapers!

YUCK!

[Cleita]

8. Just for the sake of argument, let's say those afterlife places

really exist, you know Heaven, Limbo, Purgatory and Hell, why does the Vatican think they have any say in how they are run? I mean will God, the Devil, the choirs of Angels and any other entities that might have a vested interest, really allow a bunch of educated primates dictate how their realms will be run?

[MissMarple]

9. Too funny, what do we do with the babbies?

What can I say? What happens to all the little babies?

As if anything different occurs because of their ridiculous...ummm... dogmatic pronouncements.

Well, as we know, the Celts rule. Christian dogma is so quite conflicted.

What else could I possibly say?

[lildreamer316]

11. YOu know what is REALLY crazy?

If you read the article in its entirety; they are thinking about having them...

wait for it...



REINCARNATED!!!!!!!!!

HA!!
I KNEW they would have to admit it sometime....

[madeline_con]

15. So as it stands, these are just little wasted souls? n/t

[lildreamer316]

18. I suppose so.

Makes no sense to me either.

[MissMarple]

22. Got it. Mormons proxy baptize Catholic babbies? Ohh.....dear.

"This is where the Mormons come in and save the Pope's bacon. Mormons can baptize dead people. They do it all the time. They have vast databases groaning with the names of the departed, whom the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints usher out of limbo and into heaven by what is called "proxy baptism." Some Jews have objected to having the Mormons pull sneak baptisms on their ancestors, and the Mormons, displaying a sensitivity they are not known for, have said they won't do it any more.

So, the only remaining question is, are there enough Mormons ready, willing and able to proxy-baptize all those millions of Roman Catholic babies? As for Plato, he is smart enough to take care of himself.".....

This is so hilarious....for the non dogmatic. ;)

I'd warn them about the Celts though. Some of them are umm...witches. Well, every ethnic group has witches... The fundys should watch what they do. As if it would make a difference. They seem to make their own trouble. :evilgrin:

[lildreamer316]

25. That would be me.

Blessed be...

[MissMarple]

28. Big hug, sweetheart.

:hug: I like y'all, a lot.

I'm a deist. It's a dogma thing. ;)

[Redstone]

16. That was a VERY funny article. But could the CBS website

have just a FEW more fucking popups? What's wrong with them?

Redstone

[bridgit]

24. i know huh, enough with the pop-ups already will'ya...

x(

[hickman1937]

17. This is just an opening shot.

Probably too many parishioners wanted to know why aborted fetuses went to limbo, instead of being nominated for sainthood(killed in the cause).

[bridgit]

26. i think you have it right...

[beyurslf]

21. What is limbo--besides a crazy game you played at the skate rink?

[bridgit]

27. i seen a guy lite his crouch on fire 'playing' limbo...

:rofl:

[radio4progressives]

23. The satire is priceless and well written -excellent hit job on the

biggest cult of the centuries...

[bridgit]
