I wish to publicly apologize for spreading the link to that distasteful
image of Quake 3. I thought, at the time, that it was humorous (while
realizing it was tasteless), but it is really NOT funny. I apologize to all
Christians everywhere and to anyone who might have been offended by the
picture. I hope that the person who made the picture can understand how it
is hurtful to people. I am not a very religious person but I do believe in
God, but sometimes I just need a reminder of it. I got my reminder in
spades this week, and I hope that God will forgive me for carelessly
spreading hate. I especially want to apologize to Catholics and hope that
they can see it in their heart to forgive my transgression.

You're right about the pic not being very funny, but offensive? Come on.
As for carelessly spreading hate, anyone who reads that into what you did
really needs to lighten up, including you and including god. Just because
it's on the news and 1 in 6 people are mourning the man it shouldn't make
you revere him anymore than you did before his corpse got all the attention.
Besides, any religion with such a mixed and sometimes WILLFULLY hateful
history as the catholic church should be able to take it.

You're not kidding the history of the Catholic Church makes you wonder if it
has been serving the Devil or God.
Everything from the Inquisition, to Witch-burning, to child molestations, to
sponsoring the Nazis (and getting paid by them).

I even heard that fish Friday (I was a product of the PUBLIC education
system that observed Fish Friday) was nothing more than
a Pope's attempt to give more business to a relative (who was a fishmonger).

I've always wondered if the movie Stigmata had any truth to it. Particularly
in regards to declaring a book of Jesus's own words
to be fake.

When the church, as a matter of policy, creates and defends immoral action
in the name of god that's where it's a problem, or in the case of the
molestation when they actively cover it up. Sick, really. To say it's all
bad and evil is just as unfair. You've got to remember that the vatican is
(from my observations) primarily a political organization that has a long
history of doing whatever it needs to do to gain power usually by collecting
wealth or controling people by means that often have little to do with Jesus
as newer generations are prone to see with hindsight. I get nervous when so
many people pay tribute to a religions political figure like the pope, but
give the people what they want.

I don't think that's a sin anymore.

Thank you for your kind words. I am Catholic, and I am touched by your
apology. You have been given a gift and that is healing from the wounds
that make us careless with our respect for the sanctity of others'
experience. I used to hate Christianity. Then I gained the
understanding that it was costing me dearly in happiness and peace to
be set against such a large group of my fellow humans. Welcome to the
awakening! Don't worry, it's ok. Let it go and let's all get back to
having fun, especially gaming!

Well of course. In another hundred years the next generation will look back
on many of "today's" teachings as obsolete and dated while still holding
onto other absolutes. Tomorrows christians will go on believing as usual
finding no problem with the hypocracy or the relative way in which so-called
absolute truths are either abandoned or intrepreted into an unrecognizable
state as each new generation comes along. But you can be sure that the
beliefs of the day (whatever the day) will continue to be used to tell
others how they should and shouldn't behave and people of that day will
assert that their beliefs are absolute and certainly must be the one
exception to the long history of changing beliefs.

Oh, I've read his words. And I've heard ten different interpretations

Using my faith and limited wisdom, that it would make it 11 different
interpretations. :)

Spoken like a man who has never believed in anything but himself. Well done
mate! ;-p (you're about as close to the mark with your understanding above
as a 38 snub nose at 500 yards - you need to read less, pretend you know
even less & listen a whole lot more, if you ever want to learn *anything*
about religion; so rest safe knowing you're like most other heathens :)

Wow... who are you to judge? What are you afraid of? To tell someone to
'read less'? And just exactly 'who' should he listen to? Who should he
'learn' from? Ultimately we ALL teach ourselves... and learn ourselves... by
making value decisions about the things we live, learn, experience, and
struggle with in life. That is what life is all about. NOT blindly following
or listening to anyone else unconditionally.
Your statements that he should 'read less' and 'pretend you know even less'
is typical of anyone that wants to take political control over someone else.
Here's a good suggestion for you: read 'Age of Reason' by Thomas Paine.

Your personal attacks do nothing to support your POV whatever that may be.
For the record, I have a strong belief in life after death and spirituality
in general. I also, on the whole, believe in the concepts and ideas
purposed by Jesus, however I seem to take away a different understanding
than do most christians.
