i tend to stay out of these religious arguements because they never accomplish anything, but i just have to correct a few minor facts
Quote:Now, as for priests not marrying, that was started by a guy who spent his youth drinking and screwing everything in sight. Then he got older, felt guilty, converted to Christianity and decided since it was bad for him to drink and screw noone else should either. He started the whole "sex is bad" movement and made the priesthood and nuns celibate. He would have made everyone celibate, but even he realized if your followers don't have kids, then there is no next generation of followers and you'll scare away new followers. Thank you, Saint Thomas Aquinas.that was either augustine or ambrose(i forget which).they were both old bishops back in the first millenioum.aquinas was killed by henry VIII, much after the cellibacy stuff
Quote:There was also a certain sect of Christianity to be divine and human at the same time(I think my memory is vague on this part). Constantine banished two bishops who suscribed to this.the arians/arianism(not to be confused with the nazi aryian race).they said that jesus became god when he was baptised in the jordan and stopped being god when he was out on the cross.the regualr christian doctrine is that jesus is both fully man and fully god at the same time, all the time
