Wrong and pathetic on so many levels
"Igual que un papá quiere que cambien sus hijos cuando están mal, hacemos este llamado con el deseo de que (los narcos) cambien y se sientan dentro de esta familia, donde no existe para ellos una excomunión, sino una advertencia".
NO. MAMES. No los excomulga, sino que les hace una advertencia. Regresen borreguitos. POBRE. ILUSO. Ya no es la Edad Media que una excomulgación le importaba a la gente. El narcotráfico no es como "un hijo que hace el mal"...no es alcholismo o irresponsabilidad....what the fuck?
Hay tantas cosas que me causan gracia y cierto horror con comentarios de este tipo, mejor no intenseemos o derramemos bilis hoy y lo dejamos así. Jeje, mejor me espero que al rato va a decir "chavos, dejen de practicar sexo premarital, los queremos y no queremos ver que se hagan daño" o alguna estupidez de este tipo, acerca de la homosexualidad, drogas o masturbación.

"To stay away from Christianity because part of the Bible's teaching is offensive to you assumes that if there is a God he wouldn't have any views that upset you. Does that belief make sense?" -Timothy Keller, The Reason for God
Well, the shoe kinda fits. I am a culturally Christian atheist and most of the time I lack faith. I rail against the Church, I laugh at people who pose the Bible as fact. However, Nietzche doesn't quite convince me all the time. Neither does Jesus Christ, but the point is, why should he? This is the slippery slope to New Ageism where you take only the nice bits and ignore the rest, but then again we do it with a lot of things, it's not necessarily bad. I hate being confused, but I also have to accept that things are never black and white. In the end, the golden rule is what matters I think.

Catholic Singles in your area!
What if the online love of your life turns out to be a satan worshipper, or a scientologist, or worse, a protestant?
Well, never fear 'cause Catholic Mingle is here!
http://www.catholicmingle.com/success_stories.html
Aside from the creepiness of single sites, aren't you supposed to be on a singles site 'cause you're lonely and horny? (not necessarily single, alas) Wouldn't a catholic site pretty much guarantee you'll still be horny?
So we have creepy singles and creepy religious types who are forever going on and on about how the Lord fills their lives and tells them what to do and how to shun people who aren't their particular cult 'cause they'll go to hell anyway.
Sorry my theist friends, you know that my rant has more to do with people who go all preachy about their faith.
Anyhoo, Catholic fucking singles.....it made my day

"One, it will stabilize her libido. Two, it will make a woman look more beautiful in the eyes of her husband. And three, it will balance her psychology."
-Lukman Hakim, chairman of social services for the Assalaam Foundation in Indonesia, on the “benefits” to circumcising girls.
I try. really, I do. I want to be tolerant. I want to be objective an unbiased. And I struggle agains organized religion in general, not just Islam. Certainly the church is very interesting from a historical and political perspective, but I find evangelism offensive.
But after reading this article, I really can't say that Judeo-Christian beliefs are as ass backwards as Muslim faith.
A Cutting Tradition
Yesyesyes Jewish men are circumcised and they really shouldn't, but this is just even more barbaric! Besides, I'm sorry to say this guys but male circumcision apparently does have demonstrated health benefits, namely reduced risk of infection and some protection against H.I.V. (Insert link from AIDS study in Africa)
The pics are quite strong, at least to me as a woman they make me cringe. Read the article, it's short. And let's rethink our touchy feely politics, hmm? Maybe Oriana Fallaci wasn't so nutty.
