However, I can still question their judgement, not just for standing in line for so long to see a dead body, but also in contributing their time, attention, spirits and money to an organization (the Catholic church) I wouldn't do it. which, as any educated person knows, has a reputation that's dubious, at best. I'd clarify that to say "dubious, at worst". Then I might agree with you. The Catholic church has done far more good than bad in the last couple of centuries. Yeah...as long as you weren't a native of a country that already had a perfectly fine spiritual tradition to begin with. Example? Don't be an asshole. You went to school. You're aware of examples. I just want you to give me examples of what *you* consider to be "perfectly fine spiritual traditions". Sacrificial virgins? Cannibalism? Polygamy? Sorry, tooth-boy, but this discussion has apparently become one which, like many employment opportunities, assumes a certain level of education. Better luck next time. |

You're just afraid to put your name to a post that defends human sacrifice, cannibalism, and polygamy. And you're afraid to admit that there were civilizations in this hemisphere, before priests arrived, which did not practice any of these things you've mentioned. But of course, there were. Oh....and you can remove polygamy from your list. It may have been (and may still be) appropriate for some cultures. If you're capable of thinking, you can come up with some reasons why. If not, too bad. |

Perhaps the two of you can put your heads together and get the research done more quickly. Then, come back and rejoin the discussion. But, in fact, research is not what's needed. NOYB is pretending not to know of cultures which were nicely civilized, sans cannibalism, and were destroyed by visits from priests and other scourges. But: Since it's such a nice day, I'm going to do two things at once - do you a favor, and also pull an ace out of my sleeve. Ask one of the kids you know where you might find the nearest library or bookstore. Find a book called "A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies", by Bartolomé De Las Casas. It was written in 1552, and dedicated by the author to Prince Philip of Spain. Of course, NOYB will say that it's worthless because you can't trust translators, especially those Hispanical ones. Oh well. |

Our next contestant packages holiday candy at a sheltered workshop in Pittsburgh. Let's see if maybe SHE can recognize a reliable historical source when she sees one! Let's welcome Sally Jones....come on up, Sally! |
