Ah, the old "Would you do that if Jesus was in the room" or "would you do that at Church?" strawman. We don't have to always nbehave like we're in Church. I wouldn't pick my nose in Church, but picking one's nose is not a sin. I don't believe that displaying a 1-1/2" by 1-1/2" picture of a drawing of an extended middle finger is either.
That excuse is not going to fly... what responsibility or any do you feel you owe others in a Catholic forum where Catholic values is supposed to be the norm?
Or do you think you are only supposed to have Catholic values in a Church building or before the Blessed Sacrament?
Do you really believe we only have to act acceptable in Church, Mike?
Is that what you are arguing? because that is what this logic implies.
If you want... you can flip off your wife and kids at home all the day long or flip off your buds in a bar all night or even go flip of your employer if that is what does it for you and you deem it acceptable... but to do it in pubic? Why?
And in a Catholic "place"?
I'm just not getting it and I seriously doubt you will be able to explain it to me.
Let me put it this way, Mike, I would hardly expect to walk into a Hell's Angel gathering place and expect them to pray the Rosary...
I don't think anyone expects ppl to live up the ideal of a great Saint in here but Lord, anyone can do better than flippin off via an avatar. Can't they?
But this really isn't about the Avatar, its about the blandat disregard and disrespect for other folks.
This is really just very bizarre.
When Catholics are defending FU sign language, dang Politicians and Atheism... it's bizarre indeed.
It's the devil is what it is... And attacks form the Evil one also will ruin your heath.. thus rampart depression.
The link Shannon gave to Fr. Pinto site, see if you can find on his spiritual discernment.. read up on the evil spirits and what their influence consists of.
I know I have been attacked by the enemy of our souls and have succumb to it. Lord have mercy.
