Za katoličku crkvu je, koliko znam, seks u pravom smislu svetinja i zbog toga ga se toliko štiti.
Brane jel znaš onu priču o stvaranju svijeta po Bibliji? Kad Bog odluči stvoriti čovjeka na svoju sliku i priliku, u tijelo mu uliti duh.
Onaj koji mu sjedio zdesna se pobuni zbog tijela i biva izopćen s neba. tako nešto
Sotona mrzi tijelo, mrzi sjedinjenje tijela. Nastoji to sjedinjenje i samo tijelo na svakakve načine oskrnuti itd bla bla oralni, masturbacija itd.
Nadalje, zašto crni brane pričaš tako površno o nečemu o čemu nemaš pojma. Pa postoje svjetovni redovi, svjedočanstva, poruke iz biblije itd.
Kažem ti ja, ono u šta ti guraš nepotrebno nos nadilazi materijalno, zašto sipaš toliku mržnju? Nije ti to baš odlika inteligentnog čovjeka...

Prije nego te definitivno otpišem s liste vrijednih ikakvog truda oko ozbiljnog razgovora, reci mi jesi li barem svjestan koliko si budalaština i potpunih izmišljotina (ne znam samo da li vlastitih ili tuđih) prosuo u gornjem postu?
Tako nešto.... bla, bla... a meni spočitavaš neznanje? Ono o Sotoni i tijelu... tako nešto, da to nisi pročitao kod Coelha?
Ma o kojim ti to porukama iz Biblije govoriš? Nemaš pojma. Jao Crkvi kad ju takvi brane.
A osim ako nisi podvojena druga polovica izvjesnog Erica Delka, volio bih od tebe čuti gdje sam to ja, kada i kako
sipao mržnju protiv katoličke crkve ili katolika?
I baci malo oko na ovaj tekst, možda se prepoznaš, možda ti pomogne.
bible sales vs. bible knowledge
In
today's excerpt - sales of the Bible are rising dramatically in the
U.S., but knowledge of the contents of the Bible is declining:
"According to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, 78 percent
of all Americans say that the Bible is the 'word of God,' and almost
half of those believe that, as such, 'it is to be taken literally, word
for word.' Polling data from the Barna Group indicate that nearly half
of all Americans agree that 'the Bible is totally accurate in all of its
teachings' (88 percent of all 'born-again' Christians believe the
same), and the Gallup Poll finds that 65 percent of all Americans
believe that the Bible 'answers all or most of the basic questions of
life.' These statements are shorthand descriptions of the idea of the
Bible as God's magnum opus, the first and last word on who God is, who
we are, why we're here, and where we go after this. ...
"Yet ... recent polls and surveys offer these biblical revelations:
"Less than half of all adult Americans can name the first book of the
Bible (Genesis, in Hebrew Bereshit) or the four Gospels of the New
Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).
"More than 80 percent of born-again or evangelical Christians
believe that "God helps those who help themselves" is a Bible verse. ...
"More than half of graduating high school seniors guess that Sodom
and Gomorrah were husband and wife, and one in ten adults believes that
Joan of Arc was Noah's wife. (Those two must've been multiple-choice
questions.)
"Almost two-thirds of Americans can't name at least five of the Ten
Commandments. Some of these people, moreover, are outspoken promoters of
them. Georgia representative Lynn Westmoreland, cosponsor of a bill to
display the Ten Commandments in the chambers of the House of
Representatives and Senate, could remember only three when Stephen
Colbert asked him to recite them on The Colbert Report (Colbert, who I
hear teaches Sunday school at his church, would probably have done
considerably better). ...
"Even among the majority of Christians who identify themselves
strongly with the Bible, Bible reading is a rare activity. In a 2005
nationwide study of religious values, practices, and behaviors by Baylor
University's Institute for Studies of Religion, more than half of those
identifying themselves as 'Bible-believing' said they had not
participated in any kind of Bible study or Sunday school program at all
in the past month. ...
"While biblical literacy is about as low as it can get, Bible sales
have been booming. The biggest Bible publishers in this highly
competitive business guard their sales data closely, but reliable
industry sources estimate that 2007 saw about 25 million Bibles sold,
generating revenues of about $770 million in the United States alone.
That was an increase of more than 26 percent since 2005, which saw U.S.
sales of about $609 million. In fact, the Bible-publishing business has
been enjoying a healthy compounded growth rate of close to 10 percent
per year for several years. Even during the high point of economic
crisis in late 2008, when other book sales were hurting badly, Bible
sales continued to boom, with an estimated $823.5 million that year. ...
"So biblical literacy is low to zip, even while biblical reverence
remains high and Bible sales rise. What's going on? Could it be that
biblical literacy is being replaced by biblical consumerism? In today's
consumer culture, we are what we buy, wear, and carry. We identify
ourselves by our patterns of consumer choices, by the market niches we
buy into. It's gone beyond that post-Cartesian proof of existence, 'I
shop, therefore I am.' Today, it's closer to 'I shop for what I am.' "
