The same-sex marriage referendum debate

[Eamonnca1]

The Pope doesn't own any of it though.

Is it okay for the church to own it?

All run by the totally corrupt Vatican banking setup?

My point is the bible is  clearly calling for followers to be rid of their wealth. Just wondering how is it that Catholic church doesn't call this out or why Tony never mentions it. After all it's very hard for a rich man to get to heaven. It maybe Tony just picks the bits that suit his own homophobic bias?

I always considered the rich man not getting into heaven thing patronising. It's a bit like...don't you worry wee peasant. Sure you're crawling on your belly in this life, but don't worry because youll get into heaven no problem, unlike thon moneybags neighbour of yours. He's going straight to hell. So cheer up, count your blessings, and be grateful you're a piss poor peasant.

f**k right off.

So does the Bible promote Socialism or reinforce Capitalism?

Totalitarian of course.

Anyway poor auld priest after winning the lotto and in doing so consigning himself to hell. Doesn't matter how good a life he lived he has gone against the holy bible

I think we need a rule prohibiting posters demanding information on the nature of other poster's marital relations.

It's not about demand, it's the absolute confusion/contradiction that arises with picturing as a reality the basis of the concept of the question, Tony and sex (under the looming crucifix).

Amazing the lengths to which cynics will go on this thread,including crass banalities,to attempt to disprove the existence of God.

The thing is if they are really convinced in their atheism why get so agitated?

Enda looked well.

It's wonderful to think that a country where two decades ago divorce barely passed a popular vote that Taoisigh can attend same sex marriages without anyone batting an eyelid. We feel like a nation that's found it's feet socially in those intervening years.

For all our flaws we're not doing too badly.

The vast majority of posts are aimed at you to show your incredible hypocrisy..

Is few challenging the existence of God rather it is the nonsense you are going over... DUP type fundamentalism (laced with hypocrisy)

[Rossfan]

How many pages of this thread taken up by Tony and the rest of ye responding to him?
I suppose it proves one thing anyway  -
Tony does exist.

[T Fearon]

Belief in hell is not fundamentalism.As I have demononstrated hell is a part of Catholic Catechism and other mainstream Churches.

When you read some of the pulpit drivel & bible babble on here, then you begin to understand Sartre's "hell is other people" statement.

Who is trying to disprove the existence of god? And how do you disprove it when it has never been proven

Give us the old "we have matured as a nation" line.
No need to mention any little disagreements
