The RCC has a history of grubbing for money. I don't trust it at all.

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="8" id="3294731"]The beauty of faith is that it is personal. So no 2 need be alike. The beauty of religion is to share your faith with others which are similar. So there are a multitude of religions, especially Christian. My step father was married by a female minister. I see no problem with that. But I am Catholic, left the church, and returned. One day, women will be ordained in that religion. Until that time you can e

I don't agree with the Catholic Church about a lot of things. But male leaders is something we do agree on. Tell God he's a chauvinist - I'm just following his design.

I'm not a woman. I gave you a woman's view of what submission in a marriage looks like. I didn't write that part.

Yeah, it's a person who hates me because of my religious beliefs. Women are not to have authority spiritual over men, but they could still teach men if they have the authority of the elders of a church, who should be men. That's what the scriptures say. So when you quibble over what the Catholic Church does, you are dealing with what God wants. This is independent of what the culture says. Culture right now says that anything men do, women should d

I'm sorry you think you're an incubator to pass man's seed along. If you read the Bible, you may be able to discern women's purpose better, but most likely you would just get pissed off that they may, in fact, have a different role in the way a church functions, due to the Creator, God, creating them differently from men. Since you don't believe in any of that though, perhaps you should just not bother sticking your nose where it doesn't

Every construction crew should have a couple dogs who can have puppies on their team. Then, in order to not be discriminatory towards animals, they would have to post a sign that said, "Men and Bitches Working" unless they had a woman on the team. Then that might be offensive somehow!

Many Christians know the history of Christmas and where it came from. We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on a date that corresponds to a former pagan holiday, and there are a bunch of traditions that really date back to the pagan traditions. So what? I'm not worshipping a tree. I put one up in my house to remind us of the tree Jesus was nailed to. I put lights on it to remind me that Jesus is the light of the world. I put ornaments on it to rem

I think you misunderstand - I gave advice to a man from a man about what a man should do. Advice to a woman about what a woman should do would focus on her response to the actions of her man, and her responsibilities within the marriage. Take personal responsibility for YOUR problems and fix them. Marrital problems are never 100% one party's fault, but you can't do anything about the other person's behavior directly, only your own. I could sit here and

You wouldn't expect her to take any sort of personal responsibility, now, would you? If it wasn't your fault, it would be her animal instincts kicking in that made her do it, or some other thing.

When I think of what a "best friend" means, I think of somebody who I can connect and share anything with and expect equal reciprocation of that back.

Obviously this is an individual issue for some people, and not an issue for others. I can make broad sweeping statements in response but they won't be right for everyone, but there are several issues that really seem to pop related to this problem. 1. Why are they desiring the 20 somethings instead of their own wife? 2. Do they understand what it is that makes their wife feel loved? 3. Are they expecting her to take the initiative? 4
