Projection of what? Just because some college kids, with their dick wired, got of on queer porn, you're claiming the pope speaking out against it must be a repressed queer? And don't even have the balls to say it's your opinion, just overlay someone else's words on his picture like they naturally go together.

Comparing me to Gannet supposed to be an insult?
It is not, it is not accurate.

It's entirely accurate, just like Gannet. Preaching that you know what's best for everyone and they should do what you tell them. Railing against the misguided souls that don't follow your lead. Hammering incessantly on all that disagree.... just like Gannet.

That is a hilarious interpretation! Thanks for that!

Just seemed kind of funny and pertinent to me Bruce.

It sure is, but he's a graffiti punk with the spray cans hidden in the backpack saying, who me?

For someone who cannot read specifics for yourself and always need them pointed out to you, clearly you would see it that way.

[xoxoxoBruce]

What specifics can't I read for myself?

I really doubt every extreme homophobe is a closeted gay. I'm assuming this is the realism of the situation (numbers don't mean anything):

We have 100 extreme homophobes that are 15 years old.
10 years later, 30 of them came out of the closet.

We have 100 homosexuals that are of age 30.
In high school, 50 of them were extreme homophobes.

Just because a strangely high proportion of gays were very homophobic in high school does not mean that every extreme homophobes are closeted homosexuals.

Very lapsed.

I've had sex before marriage.

I've had children out of wedlock.

I've had a couple of 'gay' encounters.

I masturbate.

I've lived the life of a lush.

Yep, I'm going to hell for sure...even if you only count the sins listed above.


Catholicism is losing ground here in Oz just as it seems to be pretty much everywhere. The whole thing is just so full of hypocrisy.

People are tending to go for the more 'relaxed' religions such as C of E and all those off shoots, although I have to say, I don't know one single person who goes to church regularly. Religion isn't a big part of life here. It's definitely something that drives the population as it seems to in a lot of ways in other countries.

Do you actually believe in Hell?

[Aliantha]

I think I live in hell.
