The Catholics have loads of rules beyond the big ten and there is no way a human could learn them all let alone follow them. It would take a robot in a funny collar to even come close. Furthermore every time you sin you are knowingly going against a church teaching, and let he who is without sin... The difference between an Orthodox Catholic and a Cafeteria Catholic is only a question of degree not of kind."

I respectfully disagree with the above statement.

It is not impossible to believe what the Church teaches, it is very possible. I agree that when we sin we "break a rule" if you will, but that doesn't mean we don't BELIEVE it. The so-called cafateria Catholic chooses NOT to believe something, they believe they haven't sinned. I think that is a strong difference. As for not wanting different opinions, I have gone out of my way to be open to them. My impression was that you were not, if I was wrong, I apologize, but it felt like you wanted me to leave because my views might be a little different than the "average" BPPer. Sorry if I misunderstood.

I honestly didn't come with a plan, I just always loved the show and thought being a part of the community would be fun. I think that I would be unhappy with myself if I was less than truthful or less than honest in what I say and do. In the end I guess every opinion counts, even those that disagree with me.

It's been so long since I studied Rene Descarte that I forgot what solipsism meant. And, yeah, at the end of the day, we are all full of crap, but we can be productive crap. Thank you, again.

Yes. You can buy one of these at most big High Street travelling poetry bag shops.

I just woke the cat up laughing. I hope you're happy.

Ha! That's the best theology I've heard all day! Thanks for that. :-)

Anybody ever tell you you look a little like Hugh Laurie?
