Enough Muslim bashing, time to turn our attention to the Catholics.



A few things I don't get with this cult.

They are:

No females in the clergy
No condoms etc
No abortion, ever
Babies being dunked when they're young
Eating crackers out of the hand of a man in a dress on Sunday mornings
No stem cell research


Now, President Elect Obama is in the bad books and being threatened by a Catholic Priest from Mexico about allowing medical research.

Why should it be prevented? Because it 'serves no purpose' and is 'good for nothing'.

Probably like they objected to analysing DNA.




Vatican warns Barack Obama over stem cell research
Richard Owen in Rome | November 12, 2008

THE Vatican has fired a warning shot over the bow of Barack Obama in response to the President-elect's intention to lift the US ban on embryonic stem cell research.

Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan of Mexico, who acts as the Vatican health minister, said that stem cells taken from human embryos and involving the destruction of the embryos "serve no purpose".

Asked whether the Vatican was concerned about reports that Mr Obama might reverse the Bush Administration's ban, the cardinal said that embryonic stem cell research had not resulted in any significant health cure so far and was "good for nothing".

Kennas, what makes you believe Catholicism is a "cult" and not a religion?

If you ever want a slightly more factual understanding about the Ancient world and the development of religions, try any of the following scholarly journals for a start.

- Bible and Spade

I like that Australia is a multicultural society, as immigrants have brought a great deal to our country.

Great coffee.
Pasta.
Fried rice.
Chicken tikka.
Irish pubs.

to name but some small contibutions...


But this I am not happy about:

Segregation, violence against women, polygamy.

This is NOT Australia.

Cleric vows to end segregation in mosques

I hope this Mufti starts having an influence.

Hundreds of Baby Seals Could Starve to Death
03/11/2008

Rising temperatures could spell disaster for seals living in the Baltic Sea in northern Europe. An environment group is warning that hundreds of baby seals are now facing a painful death.

"The situation is dramatic," Cathrin Münster, of the WWF's Baltic office, warned Monday in a statement. "It could turn out that not one of the seal babies born in the last few weeks will survive."

Seal mothers usually create deep burrows in the snow to protect their young. With those burrows now melting too early, the young pups are forced into the icy waters before they have built up protective layers of fat. They are also too young to defend themselves against predators like foxes and eagles

According to the WWF, worst affected are seals on the south-west coast of Finland, in the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Riga. The region has experienced a winter with the least ice formation for 300 years, according to the German Maritime and Hydrographic Agency.

In a normal winter, the agency says, the Gulf of Bothnia, which lies between Finland and Sweden, is completely covered by ice between the end of February to mid-March. But this winter ice only formed in the northern parts of the gulf and in patches in the south.

According to the WWF, there are only 7,000 to 10,000 seals in the Baltic Sea today, which is why they have been placed on an international list of endangered species. At the start of the 20th century, the group says, there were about 180,000 seals in the area, but hunting and environmental degradation have drastically cut their numbers.

Vain is half this care and caution
O'er the earthly shell,
We can neither baffle nor shun
Dark-plumed Azrael.
Onward! onward! still we wander,
Nearer draws the goal;
Half the riddle's read, we ponder
Vainly on the whole.

Preacher! all forbearance ask, for
All are worthless found,
Man must ay take man to task for
Faults while earth goes round.

Azrael is the Islamic Archangel of Death. It is an English form of the Arabic name Azra'il (عزرائيل) or Azra'eil (عزرایل), the name traditionally attributed to the angel of death in Islam and some Hebrew lore.[1] The Qur'an never uses this name, referring instead to Malaikat al-Maut (which translates directly as angels of death; not one angel). It is also spelled Izrail, Izrael, Azrail, Ezraeil, Azraille, Azryel, or Ozryel. Chambers English dictionary uses the spelling Azrael. The name literally means Whom God Helps.

.......
Rather than merely representing death personified, Azrael is usually described in Islamic sources as subordinate to the will of God "with the most profound reverence."[4]

In Jewish mysticism he is identified as the embodiment of evil, not necessarily or specifically death itself.[1]

Depending on the outlook and precepts of various religions in which he is a figure, Azrael may be portrayed as residing in the Third Heaven.[5] He has four faces and four thousand wings, and his whole body consists of eyes and tongues, :eek3: - the number of which corresponds to the number of people inhabiting the earth. He will be the last to die, recording and erasing constantly in a large book the names of men at birth and death, respectively.[6]

yeah right
