Holy crap, news breaking- They've just voted AGAINST women bishops
-
@purplephish20 Women bishops sounds pretty dumb.
-
@widget It just reinforces justification for calling all religion despicable and for discrimination.
-
@purplephish20 Can't you grasp the concept of /culture/? any religion has the right to organize themselves and believe whatever they please. Freedom of tought.
-
@nerthos Oh I can grasp it, I just find it pathetic and evil; All religion
-
@purplephish20 @widget I really have to disagree with that way of thinking. I think that such a requirement was created (in part) because of society's rules back then. Having a woman teach a group of men back then was nearly unspeakable.
-
@purplephish20 That's overreacting. I'd totally agree with you if it affected people in general, but it affects ONLY the clerics of that particular religion. They don't bother anyone else.
-
@dlcentaur But 15 minutes ago, the higher ranking religious officials in the UK just voted against women bishops, against the wishes of the current archbishop and his to-be successor and an overwhelming majority of the constituency
-
@purplephish20 You know, they an just secede and form a new branch of the religion, like they did so many times.
-
@purplephish20 Because the majority of religion these days is screwed up.
-
@widget A woman is perfectly capable of leading, but one can't order those above them in the hierarchy. That's why I say they should secede an form their own branch of the church.
-
@dlcentaur Actually it was always like that. Most religions are pretty lax these days. But people want to force institutions that have hundreds or thousands of years to change at the same rate society does, and that's just not going to happen. You can't bend rubber and wood at the same speed.
-
@widget That's exactly what I'm saying. It's not compatible with the beliefs of that religion, and the religion is in it's right of believing whatever they please. So they should just mak their own branch with slightly modified views on the issue, and leave the ones who don't want the change to carry on with their already established lifes.
-
@purplephish20 >One church makes a decision >Rails against all religions >Care to blow things any further out of proportion?
-
@widget And civilized discussion among gentlemen triumphs again.
-
@scribus I've hated religion for years, it just makes me rage a little more whenever something stupid like this happens, like the fact that uganda is about to pass the "kill the gays" bill, on the grounds that it is "unacceptable in the world of christ"
-
@scribus That's probably the fault of Pink Zeppelin forcing ideas into his young mind through their songs.
-
@purplephish20 Well, see, that's actually serious because it involves genocide. This other issue just concerns the adherents of that cult.
-
@widget @nerthos See? This is the way it's supposed to be. No hating. No bickering. Merely toleration, love, and respect.
