  • OnlyGirlOnDigg, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2I dare you to say that to someone in person.

    Churches and religions aren't perfect, but then again neither are governments, organizations, or societies.
  • PullingTeeth, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2Not exactly what they tell you...how times have you been again?
  • ninesky01, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2"i now pronounce you man and wife..."

    "wha?"
  • askegg, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2I told my Christian work mate something very similar just the other day. He had it coming...
  • treelovinhippie, on 07/06/2008, -3/+4Well it is no worse than talking to an actual priest who has absolutely zero training in psychology or counseling and is under zero legal obligations to keep your personal information private.

    If you want to "confess" go to a ***** counselor or psychologist who can actually help you with your problems via a rational process (rather than hearing "god or the devil did it").
  • askegg, on 07/06/2008, -4/+5All priests are fake - professing answers where they have none, praying to their blood god, using important sounding but dead languages, dressing in silly clothes, accepting billions in tax-free dollars and giving little to the world's needy.

    Religion is poison.
  • JD52, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1All Priests are fake. Confession is just another control mechanism put in place by organized religion.
  • Inuranic, on 07/06/2008, -2/+2"He was wearing clerical garb, but the expert eye of our personnel didn't need much to sense something strange in his behaviour."

    Read: He wasn't paying undue attention to males under the age of 12.
