Women and porn

I think it would have been important to know who exactly was that person and what branch of Christianity he represented, but heh.

Anyway, that kind of bullshit is what made so many people turn their back on religion, and Christianism isnt about that. One of the most important figure of Christianity remains the repented prostitute Mary Magdalene.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And you are so right about the prostitute. According to the Bible, and I do ask for correction if I am wrong, it's the sins God doesn't like, not the sinner. But regardless, as I said, a person struggling with his/her faith can definitely be confused when seeing these types of actions from a religious leader.

hi hi Julia nice to see you too ~

And yeah, I've personaly given up on expecting anything from any modern dogmatic religious "organization", and I still consider myself a Catholic Christian. The Catholic church became a joke in it's second millenium and the Protestants, eventhough Luther is someone I respect, did nothing but accelerate the fall of humanity into the abyssal spiritual well it is now.

Reading people like Carl Gustav Jung helps a lot on reconstructing oneself avision of Christianity, and I've heard of a lot of theological thinkers from around the 10th century that I've yet to read. So yeah, it's a long search, but a necessary one as long as I'm concerned, anyway. =p

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I know. The issue was only brought up in the 60s though, so it doesnt really change the fact it has been an important symbol of Christinaty for a few thousand years.

It's another topic where, after all, actual truth matters few imo. =p

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Very true, and that's actually one of the worse things our societies are cursed with. Takes some time to realize, when you've been raised with naked women all over your cities' walls.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
