Dysahde,
One of my big reasons for leaving the Catholic church was this sort of We're right your wrong and we will not enterain that you have any merit in any of your arguments because we don't want to listen to reasoned debate nor will we ever listen to reaonsed debate.
Humanism forces us to listen to debate because how do we know the other side of the story. Usually we come to the same brick walls of blind Zeal, but that is simply the way I find it
Neon "I've oft been told by learned friars
That wishing and the crime were one
And heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.
If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our hearts content.
Come then we may at least enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment..."
Sir Thomas More |
