Crap, if everyone felt like you, the ACLU would be out of work and
unemployment would get even higher.
No comprende.

La mierda, si cada una sintiera tiene gusto de usted, el ACLU estaría
sin trabajo y el desempleo conseguiría incluso más alto.

The **** if each one feel has taste of you, the ACLU ****** without
work and the unemployment *********** even but ( did you mean sustanvio?)

Makes even less sense than Johns comment.

True. Napoleon recognized the power of Christian fait (If I may single
it out) when he said:

""I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man.
Between him and every other person in the world
there is no possible term of comparison.
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I founded empires.
But on what did we rest the creations of our genius?
Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love;
and at this hour millions of people would die for Him."

I'd say he was right.


Millions of people have died for Jesus, a sure sign that the empire was
founded on love.

Millions have died for education, government, eugenics, ethnic
cleansing, and science, a sure sign that yours is a non sequitur.

The claim was made that jesus founded his empire upon love, and that
millions would die for him.

I agree.

Obviously, the point was far too subtle for your enfeebled mind.

No comprende.

If everyone felt that the slightest discussion of religion should
*not* be made into a federal case, the ACLU would be out of work -
thus increasing unemployment.

Actually, no. Yahoo. :)

I'll admit it.

Babelfish is fun if you don't have anything else to do. Type in a
couple of sentences and translate them in and out of various
languages.

High entertaining sometimes. :)

Now that's a little harsh don't you think?

It's often said that Jesuits are the vanguard of progressive thinking
in the Church - in particular after the Restoration of 1814/15. While
they could be viewed as "Soldiers of Christ", it's also true that the
Jesuit order has been on the hairy edge of revisionist/reformative
thinking in terms not only of theology, but science and humanities.

The good Brother reflects that thinking - that faith and science can
coexist and each discipline can learn from the other.

Which is a curiosity because a lot of what they believe to be "fact"
and "science" are also articles of faith.

Amusing in some ways.

I couldn't have said it better myself, Tom.

I guess the "faith" part of science is the belief that the use of
observation to confirm a hypothesis will bring the truth; whereas, the faith
of religion involves certitude without direct evidence. Science can be a
religion to some, but I think it should be taken with the same grain of salt
that science uses for everything else. Religion should stick to things like
good moral foundations (and be certain in them without imposing ritual and
dogma), and a religious person should act out those foundations in his/her
daily life. Faith has a place in society. It should be learned from
observing those around us who are truly religious (doesn't matter what the
religion is). Science also has a place in society. It should be taught,
since it gives us so much.

Unfortunately, that message has been lost, especially in recent times.
