FFS, so now the canonical gospels are works of historians (people who study and write about the fuckin' past) rather than eye-witness accounts? Try to keep your story straight! Hi 2 dogs, saying “fuckin” hardly strengthens your comments. You are all over the place. Luke and Mark were not eye wit ...

I'd also like to know how BarryK reconciles that villainous Old Testament, dick-obsessed, despot with New Testament Jesus and the nicey-nicey heavenly father who's content to sit back and say he's well pleased with how sonny-boy is doing.

I must admit, i'm very disappointed to read your views on sexual reproduction and orientation. They strike me as bigoted, hurtful and basically violent, which perfectly encapsulates the RCC.
