Does God protect people who touch children, too?

Or is that just a man protecting his organisation?

I don't know what G-d does. I would say that the Catholic church is just a loose society of perverts. A man chosen by G-d wouldn't allow pedophilia*.

*Probably not.

Dear God this thread.

We may not be as brave as Gryffindor, as willing to get our hands dirty as Hufflepuff, or as devious as Slytherin, but there is nothing, nothing more dangerous than a little too much knowledge and a conscience that is open to debate

@Il Palazzo: I think Urist is Jewish.

Have respect, man.

I'm not Jewish, I practice Christianity in the manner of very early Christians.

And I don't think that any man should be respected more because of his religion. Nor any man less because he doesn't have one.

This is a sentiment I can get behind.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

god, that's such an unfair generalization if i ever saw one... much more unfair than to claim that Christianity enforces homophobia

What is this pussyfooting here? People being sorry for...words they wrote?

Come on people. You can do better than this orgy of mutual respect.

Not a troll, not some basement-dwelling neckbeard, but indeed a hateful, rude little person. On the internet.
I'm actually quite nice IRL, but you people have to pay the price for that.

Now stop being distracted by the rudeness, quit your accusations of trollery, and start arguing like real men!

Yeah people. We should be fighting each other to the death in a gladiatorial arena decorated for the holiday season.

If you don't lob a javelin into your opponent with a "ho ho ho" then there's something wrong with you.
