Something revolutionary new in religion [View all] Thats my opinion Apr 2012 OP

You are correct. They survived the Jesuits, forgave Galileo, Warpy Apr 2012 #1

This is not new. It is not revolutionary. It's been seen for centuries. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #2

Indeed. Ask the Berrigans. Or the liberation theology movement. Or Dorothy Day. Warren Stupidity Apr 2012 #9

I'm curious as to why you don't even want to see what the nuns are saying? Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #47

I said nothing about the nuns. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #50

The Difference Might be That the Dissidents are Members of the Clergy or Religious Orders On the Road Apr 2012 #3

Up until the last paragraph, I'm on board with you. Then you get into a slightly dimbear Apr 2012 #4

It is not that there are those who don't want to see the nuns reforming the church, Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #40

Except that nuns are NOT reforming the church. Never have and never will. skepticscott Apr 2012 #42

Your second to last sentence, I find very offensive Angry Dragon Apr 2012 #5

Let me deal here with several responses. Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #15

It seems to me this is different from your earlier claims muriel_volestrangler Apr 2012 #16

That's hitting the nail on the head. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #22

Living in a community with several nuns, former nuns and former Catholic priests, Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #41

Perhaps the reaction you get is due to you poisoning the well? trotsky Apr 2012 #17

Big time +1. (nt) eqfan592 Apr 2012 #21

"What was your reason for including it?" darkstar3 Apr 2012 #23

As would I EvolveOrConvolve Apr 2012 #26

What I would like to see are links to back up things you state Angry Dragon Apr 2012 #20

That is what I mean.There is no support here, Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #27

Wow, really? trotsky Apr 2012 #43

I have no disrespect for theism Angry Dragon Apr 2012 #55

I have never seen any link in any of your posts Angry Dragon Apr 2012 #57

If you read through these posts, can you understand what I was talking about? Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #34

Non-theists "threatened" by religion? xfundy Apr 2012 #6

I have just posted an alternative which you ignore. Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #32

I'm getting awfully sick and tired of you referring darkstar3 Apr 2012 #52

I wonder why it's so important to you, mr blur Apr 2012 #7

Apparently we are in league with the pope. Warren Stupidity Apr 2012 #10

Damn, they found out! On to Plan B: the Mormons. nt mr blur Apr 2012 #11

Does this mean that the Catholic church will stop trying to tell non-Catholics how to live? n/t Fumesucker Apr 2012 #8

Of course not. Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #28

There you go again, taking one event and saying it's happening "all over." darkstar3 Apr 2012 #31

One event? Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #48

Have you seen how the lists you've posted elsewhere constitute a drop in the ocean? darkstar3 Apr 2012 #51

I don't like others telling me how to live based on their particular brand of what is to me delusion Fumesucker Apr 2012 #39

Why on earth would ANY "non-theist" want to "put down" an effort to further... trotsky Apr 2012 #12

I do not understand edhopper Apr 2012 #13

What is new in religion "that cannot be put down?" immoderate Apr 2012 #14

Why is it that you post these somewhat insightful posts only to poison them with falsities... Humanist_Activist Apr 2012 #18

Just say how you celebrate what is happening, and I'll take you seriously. nt Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #29

I celebrate the weakening of the power and influence of the Catholic Church... Humanist_Activist Apr 2012 #36

Revolutionary as it ever was... onager Apr 2012 #19

Twain makes me proud to have been born in Missouri. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #24

Please tell us why that Twain post--which is delightful and true--- Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #30

Witches, tama Apr 2012 #37

You've really displayed a confounding lack of understanding of atheism and non-believers. TransitJohn Apr 2012 #25

This is not the"atheists" group. Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #33

And if you want to find people who won't disagree with you, try a group. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #35

Might you agree that there is a difference Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #45

It's not the "agree with me about religion" group either...it's not a group at all TransitJohn Apr 2012 #44

If it is not a group, what is it? If you look under "religion" you will find the word "group" Thats my opinion Apr 2012 #46

I don't care that they winnowed down the forums on DU3...it's still the Religion Forum TransitJohn Apr 2012 #53

Actually, it *is* a Group. Says so right at the top. mr blur Apr 2012 #49

I don't care that they winnowed down the forums on DU3...it's still the Religion Forum TransitJohn Apr 2012 #54

You are correct. trotsky Apr 2012 #58

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. (sans texte) dimbear Apr 2012 #38

Holy fuck, you must love to fight. That last sentence ruins your whole post, and is so not true. Evoman Apr 2012 #56

Nice post. prefunk Apr 2012 #59
