Someone cynic enough could ask (when deciding if murder is worse than rape) if ...........

living with it is worse than being dead. Obviously you are dead when someone murders you, but when you are raped, you have to live with it.


What's worse ? It's fuc_king hard question to answer, so I'll just raise it, not answer it. I don't dare.

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Ok, I have already posted numerous messages condemning those clerical beasts that are beyond evil. I have also criticised The Church for the attempted cover-ups. So, The Church cannot be defended on the abuse scandal... but the scatter guns are out.
 
Hot on the heels of the Dawkins and Hitchens affair, I just heard on the BBC News that the UK Foreign Office has been forced to apologise to The Vatican. Apparently there were suggestions that during The Pope's forthcoming visit to the UK he could open an abortion clinic, bless a gaye marriage, and launch a brand of ''Benedict'' condoms.
 
Now, there may be members here that think this is all very funny... I have no problem with that. However I do have a problem with the Foreign Office. This is another nice example of the kind of people that are running the UK... these suggestions were seemingly raised at a brainstorming session. I wonder what other comments were made that we're not being told about... this reeks of bigotry.

We should just nuke the Vatican and then when all the fallout dissapates we could replace it with a progrock shrine and have real religion with Richard Dawkins as our GOD!

I'm honestly not sure how many acts of true compassion without strings attached the Church could do to balance the scales of just violating the trust of just one child under their care. I'm also drawing a blank right now of one single act that is worse than having a child trust you and your institution not only as a physical guiding force but as something in charge of your eternal soul, which can use that as leverage against the child, and then conning the child into sexual acts. Outright murder doesn't even come close to the evil of that act.

You think sexual acts with children is worse then murder? lol
From a legal standpoint, no. To answer Marty's profane question, I think it's pretty obvious that it's better to be alive and raped than dead, and I think victims would find such an attitude offensive. But, from the perspective of the Church, if by the act of rape that person caused one person to go to Hell, then it would have been better to have just murdered him.

Yeah, I don't know why they haven't gotten around to changing that...
