Isn't that a bit of a false comparison? The property is not theirs, nor are the holy items. That's vandalism. However, the ornateness of a Church could also be said is a bit too lavish, and there are Churches that exude a bit of opulence and there are Churches that are more modest. Even with...

I do believe there are people who get tattoos as something that is supposedly - in their minds - a trump card to affirming their belief with Christ. However, that can be levied with other groups. There are Christians who wear jewelry and certain fashion involving Christian symbols as if that...

And boy, how many denominations did that result in.

What are the sentiments with regards to Christian tattoos? A bit of an oddity to say a person desecrated their body with the depiction of either the cross, Christ, Mary and the like.

Not necessarily. You can't omit the folly that is humanity's hubris. As much as people want to make Satan into the scapegoat, I think mankind, overall, has done well in falling on their collective faces without the devil's aid. Whether it be for personal gains, vendettas, vices, you name it; all...

Raiding expeditions that ultimately failed. The point is most historians pinpoint the beginnings of reconquista to that time period: http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Reconquista Fine. Normans. We'll just also omit the mercenaries being paid part and pretend some Sicilians sat on...

You still had incursions between Muslims and Christians in that area, and you omit Muslim encroachments into Gaul. The Reconquista had it's origins well before the Church directed all attention in that area. You make it seem as if there were no incursions, conflict of any kind. Forget the...

You actually lost me with that line. It seems you are giving Muslims a pass with their encroachments all over Europe. As if Muslim conquests were fair game, but Christians - both Catholic and Orthodox - had no right to reclaiming their territories. Should we feign ignorance over the...

One should be Catholic above all, right? Well, it's nice to know that there has to be splinter factions [Forums], splinter groups because there have to be people who want, and quite honestly have to equate their personal and political outlook on life with that of the Church, even if that...

You may try to find a party that better aligns with Church teachings, but there will always inevitably be shortcomings. My post is in reference to people spouting whatever party as the genuine de facto Christian party, whereas their actions or sayings are the antithesis of what Christ laid out...

Sanders is pro-pot. http://extract.suntimes.com/news/10/153/18254/bernie-sanders-doubles-down-on-marijuana-decriminalization Both Clinton and Trump are for 100% legalization of medical marijuana and marijuana becoming a legal drug should be more of a state issue.

You know what would really happen. Because someone equated a political party or a politician to either Jesus or the devil. More than likely, one of you guys couldn't be quiet while the Cubs were playing.

I was in a similar position four years ago, yet, I didn't feel alone in my disdain for the choices we were given. If I'm not mistaken, small and minutely incremental as it may have been, people actually voted for a third party compared to other previous elections. I'm not getting that vibe...

My father passed away this January. He was only 60. I know what you are going through, eastcoast. I had the added pain of seeing my dad deteriorate under pallatlive care. Thankfully, he died at home, but man, was it exhausting mentally, physically, and spiritually. Many, many feelings. Anger...

I believe it. I have a male coworker who also lives in the same neighborhood as I do and he has no problems spilling the dirt on people. I call him little diva not only because of his mouth, but also because he has a squeaky voice and a napoleon complex.

Probably because it was taken straight from the horse's mouth? I mean, my previous few posts did just that. Nothing out of context.

Gossip could ran a whole spectrum of things: from the most trivial, obvious, and good things. Saying to other people that your friend has a dog is pretty inconsequential. It could also be malicious, based off of bad hearsay, and just jabbering something you were supposed to keep a secret. The...

Once again, it's not conjecture, it's reiteration. http://www.thewrap.com/heidi-klum-bites-back-at-donald-trumps-sexist-comment-every-woman-is-a-10-video/ Yes, women are supporting Trump, but if this person were to win to win the democratic nomination: He better start backtracking and...

Problem is that the media eats up what he says. It's not conjecture: it's reiteration : http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-anti-fox-news-tweets-florida-primary-2016-3 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/18-real-things-donald-trump-has-said-about-women_us_55d356a8e4b07addcb442023
