<St. Francis imitated Christ's example.> Exactly... like others, some of whom were burned at the stake for heresy. Pope Greg is particularly harsh about some of the "Christian mystics" I mentioned being heretics and not really "Christians". As if a bible thumping nutcase like him would know. DAK

Both should be more concerned as Christians in imitating Christ's example and the eternal salvation of their own souls. You can always say that about Christians. But you can't about freethinkers. There is no standard to live up to. You can be an obnoxious bastard like Ingersoll and be celebrated as a humanitarian for "liking young men", or you can be a pedarast like Solon and be celebrated, you can be any kind of bastard you want because nothing is expected of you. Aren't a mass murderer? Well, then you're a hero!

Not sure how YOU repeatedly posting the same thing over and over and over again makes me the one who is "in a lather". I asked you a simple question, one which apparently you have neither the moral or intellectual capacity to answer. What's the matter Bozo? "I just want to be clear on your position. Do you think it was wrong for God to punish people who sacrificed their children with fire to false gods and engaged in ritual sex with animals as part of their worship?" Message 26570296
