sure many churches do do great things. so do many secular groups. i have yet to find one of these secular do-gooder groups though that can qualify as also being a pedophile cult like the catholic church.
and hell, if i were christian, i would call them demonic and anti-christian as well.
thou shalt have no other gods before me
-hail mary full of grace......
graven images are strictly forbidden
seen that statue of mary they pray to? it is by the crucifix and statue of jesus.
but that is not my belief anyway.
......maybe you haven't heard of NAMBLA? ( I doubt they would qualify as a "do-gooder" secular group.....But I got you Re, with the next group.......
The Boy Scouts of America! Have you heard of them? ( my deepest apologies to the BSA and to former and current members) it just was the greatest of examples to show Re, that a non-secular "do-gooder" organization has had its "issues" with pedophile leaders. I am merely pointing out that it is just as erronous to lable the Roman Catholic faith as being a cult of pedophiles as it is to lable the BSA. ((((don't flame me!)))

It is up to those who can see the path to tell others where that path is.........unfortunately most of the planet is blind and deaf to the true path.

So not fair.
The United States can be said to have done the same thing! We always think God is on our side.
Where are the Atheist Countries. Russia? I think they have done a few things in their day.
Is there a secular Country? or an Atheist one? I thought the U.S. was suppose to be a Country that seperates Church and State.....but we sure seem to invoke the God thing quite a bit during war. However, I think we should take our government at their word and when we go to war and drop atomic bombs we are not doing it for any "religious" reasons.
You don't get to exclude Agnostics from your list either. I mean an Atheist is just as retarded as someone who says they had dinner with God last night. You can't "prove" he exists nor can you "prove" he doesn't. Atheism is a joke! So argue for the Agnostics. I add the United States of America to the list of Agnostic murders in the name of anything other than religion.....so there....poooo poooo to you.

Were we not told to leave the splinter in your neighbors eye alone until you figured out how to get the beam out of yours?
I am sorry but ill take my chances putting my trust in Jesus and his teachings, over your hate filled message every single time, because the two messages are very clearly not the same.

21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
It is not judgment to speak the truth
Now can one imagine attempting to explain the nature of the Creator (God) to another with what little they know of the 'nature' of the Creator? Using the written or oral use of words make explaining one's experience of God even more difficult to relay accurately due to the imprecise meanings and understandings of the 'words' one chooses to use as well as the syntax (or sentence structure) they choose to relay their 'experience' to another

Yeah,yeah, we should just turn into a "Christian" theocracy and be done with it. Right? I mean, that is basically what your initial post is insinuating. Tell me where I'm wrong.

10Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
my point is as a nation america has dropped it's desire to follow the commandments.
The will of the father!!!!! as did Jesus.......it is not hate to point out that man is to follow the commandments........"Love thy neighbor" means to love him enough to tell him the truth..........
By your logic If you see a killer about to strike an innocent child, and you have the power to stop him, YOU WOULD NOT......because it would be "judgmental"? Because of your own sins?
It is not judgment to speak the truth.........nor is it hate..........

America is made up of the lost tribes of Israel, and since it has been banning God from schools, allowing homosexual marriage, allowing vile leaders (clinton) to continue...........the actual Sept 11th attacks were just the begining.............
God has cursed america for straying from the commandments and allowing all sorts of vile sins to become popular "culture". By embracing "multiculturalisum" BS. By allowing idloitry such as buddisim, etc, to flurish.............for allowing islam to exist in america..........
Freedom of religion did not mean freedom of worship of false God's.......
