Enjoy your freedom George. Enjoy going down to your local Coles. Enjoy going to a game of footy at the local oval. Enjoy going for a relaxing walk down the main street of Ballarat. Enjoy having a beer at the pub.

The people will sort you out.

I thought this thread is about Catholic Church reform, not on Pell's innocence.

Monkey see, monkey do. These people have been trained by the Media generally and Marxist teachers.

We are the Age of the Primates and everyone are basically evolved Simians awaiting their turn to throw their faeces.

The Christian Churches (CCs) have always been a haven for alt sex people. The CCs are vocal in their disapproval of alt sex practices but a major tenet of CCs is forgiveness where contrition is offered. How lies must destroy a spirit.

Sexual deviancy has destroyed the CCs from the inside out like a cancer. God is love ... not sex. We now praise sexual deviants and condemn Christians.
My wife is a devout Christian. She is an Angel. I always feel protective of her when monkeys throw their faeces at her. I respect all religions and acknowledge their guidance in the progression of human civilisation.

IMHO, the 3 wise men from the East were actually Buddhists who heard of Rome’s decadence. They mentored Jesus and others. Eastern medicine was seen as miracle work (faith healing can encourage people paralysed with fear to walk). They taught Jesus the ways of the Yogi and how to slow his heart rate which enabled him to fake his own death and escape. Christianity is actually a marriage of Judaism and Buddhism. The second coming is a metaphor. The Moses/Jesus stories mirror those of India's Krishna, Egypt's Horus and Persia's Mithra. They are proven moral constructs for human society.

"If you kill God, the probability that blood will flood the streets is virtually 100%" - Nietzsche

I only reference the God Concept when in the company of children and people under 40.

I recall Turkey's RT Erdogan publicly stating that children should be taught about God before Science and the shrieks of horror from the western media. I agree with him. A sense of morality needs to be embedded in the human psyche early, to counter Jung's shadow.

Certainly violence against women is reprehensible but is not violence against men equally so? The more we kill God, the more acts of violence occur. The God Concept is a reference point for humanity which enabled our rise to the top of the food chain.

Western culture gravitates ever closer to what cats and dogs endure. Violence is not just physical but can take emotional, mental and spiritual forms too. Accountability is relative.

You describe yourself as agnostic/atheist. Well ... which is it?

Imagine all of Immortality. How boring it must be. No reproduction. No death. No birth. No pain. No joy. No feeling or emotion whatsoever really. Hawking postulated the Big Bang and some 21 dimensions unimaginable to most. Is it not possible that our mortal world was in fact created to experience all the feeling/emotion that comes with a mortal existence?

The Kepler Space Telescope proves there are more worlds in the Multiverse than grains of sand on Earth. Every living organism encounters binary opposition.

It doesn't matter what sort of life you have. Its all good. Life is paradoxical. Death is a human concept.

The Greek Orthodox Church allows their priests to marry; I think the Catholic Church should adopt the same system.
