If you are willing (or able) to use basic spelling and punctuation like a grown up, then I´ll think about answering you.
I am too buzzed at this point to argue on that level.
But all the best for you, Sir!

Almost perfect!
The "how" in the second line should have been a "How" though, if were being picky.
But if you like, give me a real, concret argument and I´ll gladly answer it.edit on 18-4-2013 by Nightaudit because: (no reason given)

i can answer the questions but they require you relinquish the grip you have on papal interpretation. pretty much everybody views the bible according to how the popes interpreted it, over 1000 years ago, before science or even archaeology. before the discovery of sumer. before comparative cultural studies. before translation of ancient language variants and on and on.
if you're willing to take an eraser and wipe off everything you knew about the bible, and start over, i'm willing to answer your questions.
Please. Go for it.
Be reminded, however, that I have not seen ANYONE on this thread claim or indicate a "grip" on 'papal interpretation.'
And furthermore, I have seen non-Catholic Christians decline into a mess of authoritarian dictatorship and obscenely repressive and oppressive stances and think it is right.
The new Pope seems to me like a good guy....with his head on straight.
What possible difference does that make to your statements you made earlier?

Don't feed em, Wild!
