Unfortunately, it happens all over. It's unnatural to try to force people to abstain, whether it's to do God's work or anything else. Priests are only human like the rest of us. I'm in no way defending paedophiles here, I'm simply saying that the sexual drive doesn't just walk out the door as soon as you've put on a priest's collar. |

Country: | Of corse, no. What I beleive is that many pedophiles became priest to be clear of legal pursuits. Instead of being pursued, they'll be transfered from country to country and always have fresh meat. | |

Country:  | I doubt that, it's probably just repression of all other outlets

Country:  | Hi guys I just thought I would let you know that I am reading all your posts in this thread with interest, however I shall still not post any of my own beliefs or ideas as I may offend. Nevertheless it is nice to read your own thoughts on the various subjects. Thankyou.

Country:  | I am surprised we made it this long without offending anyone. I tend to offend a lot of people with my beliefs on the subject but as I see here most of us are in agreement here.

Country:  | how are we to learn....honestly if we do not offend ? isn't this a cop out gents ? We tried to do it when hippies like me came into observance and until my calling elsewhere on this world during chaotic times. Do believe we use the word 'offended' and 'politically correct' much too often when we do not want to here something that may just push one of our buttons.
The Catholic church and the Vatican has been a powerful source since the Holy Roman Empire really got going in Europe. Frankly I think if you read my postings in this thread you know my position. Must say that relgious discussions are the hardest to get going and most often the easiest to ignore as it makes one very uneasy. funny don't we do this on other threads such as the Bf 109 variant and the Best Fw 190 variant. We all come off as experts but frankly none of us served in WW 2 to fly these aluminum crates but yet we rant and rave with all our knowledge.
Personally I find this thread a bit on the refreshing side.......... | |

Country: | I am still not going to take the bait guys as I know I will do more than just offend probable because im not the most educated bloke around and I would put my views in a plain and down to earth fashion.

Country: | That's usually the best way, in my experience. How else can you have a frank discussion? I know I won't be offended. I'm not particularly religious to begin with. | |

Country: | OK I'll give you just a taster
Religion is created by men to cover their fear of oblivion there are many beliefs around the world some believe in one god some in many they cannot all be right therefore logic dictates they are all wrong.
every time science proves that something that has been written down and believed for century's is total twaddle the various scholars huddle around trying to find a way to explain why it actually meant in the various writings what the scientists have proven. (six days ,well god days are longer than normal ones)
As I was taught C of E more than any other religion I shall give another small example of a flawed belief. God is perfect and made everything, who is the Devil, he's a fallen angel. well if god made everything and he's perfect he made a bleeding great **** up when he made him didn't he.
As you may have gathered I am a devout atheist the only things I believe in is right and wrong, love and peace and the sure knowledge that after my few years on this ball of dirt I will cease to exist and so will all of you so make the most of it while you around its a one way ticket

Country: | God also made freedom of choice in the cosmic world friend..........chew on that . God is one and all and all powerful, never foget that. Our lives are only but a grain of sand in time if we all think we are so great and making our own destiny..............Ha ~
As I treid to point out earlier and maybe it is not too clear then..........there is a monstrous difference between religion and faith
