Time to dissolve the Catholic Church
Well said, Smithydog. Although I would say that religion provides more than mere comfort. The purpose of religion, in my view, is to provide us explanations as to who and what we are, the world in which we exist, and provide a connection to our being as expressed in flesh and blood to that part of us which is eternal. -

Well, what could one expect when an institution requires one to suppress his inherent, natural, and, yes, God-given sexuality absolutely? No problems? -

The world just got a little safer... HENRY KISSINGER is dead... RIP Ghoul...
Didn't HK get the Nobel Prize for Peace? Same award as Obama got. If he did, it tells a story. And if he didn't a different one. -

BTW, thanks for coming out of the closet and posting with honesty. Except, of course, your opening statement. I take no offense, though. -

That I was goalseeking my conclusion of Kissinger is a false claim. Perhaps you are goalseeking that it was my conclusion from the start. Let's at least be honest, shall we? In fact, throughout my posts I often did acknowledge the middle ground. For instance: How accurate are your sentiments when put under scrutiny, Pinetree? Fair and balanced question, isn't it? Fair and balanced as well. Again, fair and balanced. Now I did point out much of Kissinger's dark underbelly. But none of the facts I raised about him were untrue. In fact they were accurate. And undeniable. Now if Pinetree, or anyone else for that matter, paints Kissinger as a saint then I am not shy about bringing them back to reality. For in no way was he a saint, nor should his visage ever be coined or seen on a postage stamp. His faults ran too deep. And neither would I attempt to excuse him for his faults by citing "circumstances" or "the times." There's a fallacy which many have about man. People tend to believe that there are "good" people and there are "bad" people in the world. Neither one exists. At least not in the absolute. What is true is that every man and women is a mixture of both "good" and "bad." To varying degrees, of course. But no one can be judged as "pure evil." Again, such a one-sided creature exists nowhere. Though they can be painted as such. And vice versa. Perhaps the best compliment I can give Kissinger is that he was an idealist. I would say that to be true and accurate. Unfortunately, as they say, even the best intentioned can do ungodly harm.
