Ah, thus you must believe in ALL the vatican's teachings- otherwise you are equally dismissive of those that believe

R.L. — 12/31/2004 2:45:17 AM (archived)

Seeing as how the Vatican and many other religious followers have taken the Virgin Mary sightings at Medjugorje as a sign from the heavens, why do you have to make fun of it? Of them? Of me?

So... I assume you are anti-birth control, anti choice, and believe the pope is infallible...
that communal wine and wafers actually are blood and flesh... according to the faithful there are to be no more prophets after jesus, and that no one will know the date of the end-times

Otherwise you are a hypocrite picking and choosing the fantasies that fit your world view...
