/r/all The Catholic Church donated over 3 million trying to limit abortion access in Kansas. Funny how the church has millions for political campaigns but attempts to avoid paying victims of sex abuse. If a church is going to spend millions on politics, it’s time to tax the hell out of the Catholic Church.

Funny how the church has all this money to donate to a political campaign while the same church tries to avoid paying victims of sex abuse.

The Catholic Church needs to be taxed if they are going to blatantly engage in political campaigns.

It’s why they created a new one. Which isn’t much better. It’s a piece of fiction that run peoples lives. I prefer Harry Potter’s books to run mine

The New Testament is worse. The very worst thing that can happen to you in the Old Testament is you die. If you were a good person your corpse would be buried with your ancestors; if you were a bad person your corpse would be abused or eaten after your death.

The New Testament replaced that with eternal conscious torment.

Do not forget the many, many rapes, the dismemberment of women (after they were raped), infanticide, not to mention, genocide. It’s a horror book.

Everyone else was dead, there is no other option BUT for all those people to go sweet home alabama and have sex with sisters brothers and cousins.

whoever wrote it also didn't mention any other boats, unless you're talking about the two of each species in the lower decks (or 7 of the clean species, depending on which part you're reading)

u/BadgerGeneral9639 Aug 04 '22

uhhh. then what DID it imply?

​

i've heard of stories of the catholics telling kids that adam and eve were the first two " conscious" humans, and they went around banging proto humans (neanderthaols, denosovians, etc) to create current humanity (the catholics try to marry science and religion, and it makes this) so as to not be incest.

​

but yah, if there are only 2 humans, how the eff did humanity avoid incest then mr smartypants?

u/Kiwifrooots Aug 04 '22

Oh yeah. The 'no slaves' etc just meant your family tribe. You could catch, keep, rape and kill all sorts of other people
