Here's two examples that I know of:

Mendel, a monastic priest, discovered genetic inheritance. He's also known as the "father of modern genetics."

Late medieval age monks copied many of Aristotle's and other Greek philosopher's work which were later distributed amongst the commoners which led to a secular humanist movement. The secular humanism movement was one of the precursors that started the Renaissance.

It seems most places you go, either in RL or on the internet, religious criticism is met with much the same reaction as if you'd just admitted you murdered someone. Even a rational criticism of religion, such as pointing out that there is no evidence that supports the existence of a god, and even less to justify specific god beliefs, is met with hostility, and sometimes threats.

Today, being the aniversy of 911, i woke up with a strange feelings. All day I seem to feel such a deep sorrow in my heart, as if I was grieving for a lost father, or wife. It is hard to explain the sorrow, it is pure pain, as if I watched someone else die right in front of me, as if I was, idk, in just pure grief. I didnt lose anyone to 9/11, but it feels like it, I also has a actual feeling, it feels that i have been having huge weight upon me, as if a ton of bricks was put onto my back. Like a phyiscal weight. I woke up with this heavy feeling. Help?

The reason I ask this question is because I do not understand what some of my friends are talking about. Fundamentalists Christians, Liberalist Christians, Traditional Catholics & Non- Traditional Catholics, Evangelical Christians & Charismatic Christians (Or Catholics)
What do all of these terms mean, I am so confuesed.

Please answer respectfully thank you.

sell bibles? It's kinda like they're profiting off the word of God, in a way. and we all know that about 60% of that money does not go to charities and such. it goes to getting the church better bathrooms and getting the pastor's (or preacher's, or priest's, i can't remember which at the moment) car washed.

lol, if you take offense to that last part, just answer the first part. don't ~you~ think it's weird that churches are profiting off the word of God?

"It's his body and should be his choice. If he wants it done when he is a little older, I would have no problem aranging and paying for that. But it's so perminant that if I decide wrong now, I don't want to have to explain that mistake later in life."

(This is theoretical, and not meant to be construed as an attack on any one religion)

How would you react?

NOTE: I do not wish to get into the hows and why's it was invalidated. That's not my question.

So Sunday is actually the day of the sun which is borrowed from pagans.
And in the Bible it's said clearly that Jesus rose from the grave after Sabbath in the first day of the week.=>Sunday is the first day of the week and Saturday the seventh.

So that means that on Sundays we should not go to church. We should go on Saturdays...right? Can someone explain it to me? i'm lost...lol

The Devil could do everything the Bible does, plus a little better, and then HIS book would be the best seller EVAR! Why doesn't he? Or Stephen King? Or Richard Bachman? Or Kephen Sting?

WHat Would Jesus Wear?

Chacos or Teva?

Please don't say Birkenstock because my personal goD is fond of synthetic uppers with Vibram soles....

In related news - if Jesus had Gore-Tex boots, would he have needed to walk on water...

I believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, something the Christians and their "Christian President" appear to hold in disrepute because it doesn't alloow them to run over all other religions.

Thank-you for answering my last post, I did read them all. However I did learn that Athiests claim to be spiritual, I would be interested to hear their definition of being spiritual without a higher order of intelligence being involved. I have never met anyone who has converted to athieism with any dramatic life changing testamonies.

Look forward to your answers :-)

I will start, I find when protestants argue against Catholics they use a book that Catholics under inspiration from God put together.

The churches are at best 400 years old and are founded on the teachings of men not God. The bible further was pulled apart and fashioned to meet a mans ideology (something protestants love to accuse JWs of)

Further all the little chick track testimonials of people on this site need to be looked at in light of the truth. Try www.catholic.com, realisticly dont you think that the people who had the full bible for 1200 years before Martin Luther butchered it can answer every little snippet you put forward.
