13 years of catholic propaganda said not one thing about climate change or the environment. There is no mention to it in the Bible or Church doctrine last time I checked. I even consulted a priest (this guy wasn't batshit insane, so he might not be a real one :p) and he said environmentalism is...
I've been through 13 years of catholic education and the sacraments from baptism to first communion. So technically I'm catholic. However I dislike the idea of 'original sin' so I drifted away.
I try to be sympathetic towards religion cos there's still a chance it's correct, and I don't feel...
I haven't gone near the Old Testament for ages (cheerin') but I don't remember any definite mention of where it advocates human sacrifice. I faintly remember Abraham being told to sacrifice his only son as a test of faith but he was stopped at the last moment, then they enjoyed a roast lamb or...

So say there's a 51% majority deciding on one decision, the...
Yeh, why make it kick in earlier is the question. Probably not what people are arguing, but someone out there's bound to think it's best to tell 6 year olds about making the beast with two backs.
Everything is in vending machines in Japan. Booze, ciggies, soft drinks, hot food, ice cream, you name it. There's tons of them, and I love it :D
