Hey, Rich, ya stupid or something?
Oh, right. Nevermind.
With that out of the way, let me kick this off by saying that I did not mean "forgive" as in exemption from sin. It had nothing to do with confessional. Remember the Bible, Rich? That book you base your faith on? Right. Well, passages such as "'Vengeance is mine,' sayeth the Lord," lessons we were taught, like the prodigal son, little notes from the son of God himself that went along the lines of "Judge not, lest ye be judged..." I guess were forgetting about all of that.
Priests are there to serve as a spiritual leader, not judge and jury. The fact that the book the religion is based on carries no weight here makes it hypocrisy. You cannot preach some of it when it supports your side, and then take whatever action your temper leads you to when it doesnt. If thats the way you are, then you are a hypocrite. Its really fairly simple.
Perhaps if those in charge actually cared about whats written, the Catholic church wouldnt be in the sad state it is right now.
This is one of Orochis chief qualms with organized religion. No one pays attention to what theyre supposed to unless it works for their argument.
So I forced my hands in my pockets and felt with my thumbs and gallantly handed her my very last piece of gum.
