I know this is not the religion thread but the fact that Rome has set the Pope up as Father on earth, and Priest can mediate for you to God goes against all Bible writings.

That is the 'pomposity' of it all.

The Roman Catholic religion has decided that they trump god and the law of the land. It's not the religion, per se. It's the people that run it.

Religion is a good thing.

But, most of the time it has to....

Live on it's own and not worry about the religion next door.
Has to take responsibility for the eff ups that ruin the 'experience'.
And just shut up.

Getting your ear pulled until it pops something inside your head is not a good
way to learn religion.........been there.......

That said?

I am a believer in corporal punishment.

If you were swatted once and told why? Hey, no problem.

Therein lies the question about how hard and how many.

My parents knew that once was enough and the look of displeasure on THEIR faces was enough of a deterrent to keep us in line.

But, that's another thread.....
