Nonbelievers, how did you lose your religion?

For God is true and Medjugorje has proven to the world that God and deity is fact.
Actually most of the world, including the church, remains quite skeptical of the claims of Medjugorje.

After a few years of thorough and intense investigative study, which the Church always exercises to determine an unmistakable decision in these matters, the Bishop issued a statement in 1986 giving the results of the study. In the statement, Msgr. Zanic proclaimed that these apparitions are not made by the most Holy Virgin Mary
Another committee on the national level, composed of 20 bishops, was organized to decide on the "apparitions". This committee also spent several years in patiently studying the matter and finally in November 1990 issued a statement which concluded that there is no proof that Marian apparitions have occurred at Medjugorje. This statement was approved nearly unanimously, with 19 bishops in favor and one abstaining. A Vatican doctrinal official said the bishops' statement against defining the apparitions as supernatural should be accepted by the faithful around the world.
"They particularly do not seem to be authentic," the local bishop observed, "when it is known before that these so-called 'apparitions' will occur." Bishop Perić cited the schedule that the Medjugorje seers have provided, listing the times and places at which they claim the next visits by the Mother of God will occur. Thousands of messages from Mary are now claimed, and the bishop observed that "the flood of so-called apparitions, messages, secrets, and signs do not strengthen the faith, but rather further convince us that in all of this there is nothing neither authentic nor established as truthful."

Bishop Perić reminded his people of the restrictions that he has imposed on activities in Medjugorje. The parish church is not formally a "shrine," he said, and should not be characterized as such. Pilgrimages to the church are discouraged. Priests there are "not authorized to express their private views contrary to the official position of the Church on the so-called 'apparitions' and 'messages,' during celebrations of the sacraments, nor during other common acts of piety, nor in the Catholic media."

It's okay to say Medjugorje is convincing to you, but you are trying to paint a picture that it has been convincing to all who have visited, and that the world accepts it. This is obviously wrong.

Iv spent most of my life around full Pentecostal holiness people.They believe in all that miracle shit they even speak in tongs. This is how a "miracle" starts . 1995, Preacher I have a bad head ache. BE HEALED! 2012, This man came in with a brain tumor and he is alive today PRAISE JESUS! No shit, bad backs become broken spines and limps become paraplegics. Some kid had a hallucination after a life time of brainwashing. It made him very popular and now the other kids are doing the same shit, not to mention the superstitious mass's that flock to this bullshit and bring in money for the aria. If Merry wants to say something important she might try calling CNN instead some kids. Oh and tell Merry if she wants to heal cancer there are hospitals all over the world that could document the miracles and save billions of souls, Its that document part I bet she wont like.

The point of it tho is that it's different today and is no longer considered a sin.
And even in ancient days,it was only considered a sin within certain circles.


Sad isn't it?

Lol, I wonder how it was scribed in there and people couldn't figure out that being gay wasn't a choice, and how a gay man living in secret would have to force a boner to be intimate with their wives lol. I can just imagine the disgust on his face.

They managed in Sparta to only see their wives, on the dark of the moon, to impregnate her, quickly, fully clothed. Then they hurried back to the barraks for some real fun. Maybe go, a murdering, among the Helots.

See, God was not yet invented. Women were Holy.

And I don't think gay guys are disgusted by females. They are afraid of them. Hell, we all are, right?

My best friend is gay, no, i am not afraid of him.
I think it was meant the other way around: that men are generally afraid of (Ferengi voice) fee-male huu-maans.
However I have not found that to be usual, and doubt it so for gays. If anything, they're competitors with women; witness camp. cn

<add> Not camp the place! The overblown style.

That's why they like to go shopping together. "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."
