Hey Church goers, I guess we need to pray for this one too. LMAO now I know why i don't go to church. UNREAL Plus how many have been covered up or not discovered yet, makes me wonder. However there are some really faithful ones but this is a shame. Just goes to show it could be anyone no matter what profession or occupation.

So. Assuming Christianity is "the one" that got it right, followers of all other faiths will burn in the fiery place for eternity. I got that much. Real compassionate, by the way.

We were "created" in God's image. Correct? That's what the loony-tunes that beat on my door tell me.

Priests, minsters, pastors and the like are anointed by God himself/herself. They're closer to God's image than any of us could be. I mean, they must be special to be that close to God(or just bat s**t crazy).

By your own logic, God is a child abuser.

What the f**k?

Some points:

Of course authority figures should uphold morality, but doesn't that also mean that the public schools should stop trying to push acceptance of homosexuality?

There should be some acknowledgement that in some cases the "children molested" are teenagers just short of being old enough to star in porn, who enjoyed being "victims".

And did you notice that it's MINSTERS you read about? The Morning Call circulation area is about a quarter Catholic, which means that in the area about twice as many are Protestant church-goers; and you should be reading about one Catholic priest for every two Protestant ministers. But you don't, and people still think that this is a CATHOLIC problem.

And notice how many of the abusers were coaches and/or public school teachers? More than the clergy. so why don't we have people writing that they don't see why any parent would send their kids to the public schools?

People apparently think with their prejudices.

Look people -

this poor man was just trying to get a jump on the new policies that will be implemented when McCain/Palin and their Boss, Dr. Dobson (The McPalinson Team) take over the U.S. government. They're real close, you know. There is still Hope.

If they do take over, children across the nation will want to emulate their successful peers who have achieved Fame and Fortune as exhibited at the RNC. Who better to guide a young woman at the precipice of of discovering her true and only purpose on this earth - which all who TRUE believers know to be - to reproduce - than an OLD MAN who Represents God.

The McPalinson Team KNOW this. They also KNOW this will save our nation.

The McPalinson Team realize this is the answer to the SAVING Social Security for a More Secure America.

We will also NEED to Produce a whole lot of little warriers for God's War. McCain himself proclaimed "100 years!"

Now I know the Children who were Revered and Honored on the National Stage at the RNC were young, high school dropouts and their offspring will be the product of YOUNG eggs and YOUNG sperm which means they'll more likely have a nice normal baby.

But Think - and this is science at it's best - if an OLD Sperm is used - there's a BETTER chance of having a "special needs" child who will require and benefit from The Sarah Palin Share The Wealth Tax Plan thus helping Sarah achieve Her Goal of buying her way into heaven. A good cause - don't you think?

Pay Attention To The Signs Folks! The END is near!

Only if you believe homosexuality to be a moral issue.

Now. I realize it's probably still 1950 in your head and I don't expect you to understand any of this. It's a tolerance issue. I know it probably upsets you that you have to let brown people drink from the same water fountain as you but unfortunately you're going to let those pesky fruits do it to.

Life's a tough ride. I suggest getting a helmet.

NO ONE says anyone who is not a christian burns! You assume wrong! Persons who have knowledge of faith have an obligation to follow the rules(10 Commandments). So you obviously didn't get that much. Those who know the rules, are given privelage of sharing the rules and abuse the rules will be held accountable but not by you or me. Government can make similar rules to the 10 commandments(but not always the same as the 10)that is called law, citizen then are obligated to observe law.

The Pope - He's just like Our The Decider President Bush - is the DECIDER of the Catholics - in case you didn't know.

Anyway, he (the Pope Decider for All Papes) decided to implement a new policy. It was just announced yesterday.

All MEN who want to join the club WILL BE INVESTIGATED for "psychopathic disturbances."

"confused or not yet well-defined" sexual identities need to be addressed.

if a future priest shows "deep-seated homosexual tendencies," his seminary training "would have to be interrupted."

So NO to Boys - Little girls are still ok.

BTW...have any other natives put the "877 Beaver Dam Road, Ashland" address from the article onto a mapping website and noticed how they seem to wrongly extend the road off into the woods and over the mountain?
