Reply #35: Gee..."the Church" was in the subject line of the OP! [View All]

I guess maybe you didn't read that either. Oh, and the OP was talking about the Pope too...so you're getting all bent out of shape because I was a bit confused on my semantics? Oh wait, I don't believe I ever said or insinuated that all Christians are "ignorant, anti-science idiots" as you put it. I never insinuated that Xtian leaders are ignorant or idiots either, but they are anti-science insofar as what progress science makes contradicts teachings of the bible. To go away from "the Church", perhaps you've heard something of the "intelligent design" debate going on in this country? The anti-science mentality goes far beyond the catholic church and the Vatican, but for the record I was referring mainly to the catholic leadership with my post. Although, I take it that catholics are Christians too, so nothing I said was "patently false".

But, if you had actually read the OP, then you would see that, in fact, he was talking about the "Church"; more specifically, the Catholic Church given that the Pope is mentioned a couple of times.
