I guess Pope Francis doesn't keep up with the news from NASA and JPL. But I guess if those probes stick around long enough, they can be considered Mars' first immigrants, and Pope Francis can go there on the first manned Mars mission and bless them.article said:Pope Francis, for example, has said that he would baptize Martians if they came to Earth and asked.
Back when the Conservative Party of Canada called itself the Canadian Alliance, the leader was a man named Stockwell Day. Day jumped to federal politics after being in Alberta politics for many years (he was once my MLA and I had the pleasure of telling him off about the dire job prospects for graduating nurses because the premier kept blowing up hospitals and then building new ones that had no staff because the universities hadn't trained enough after there weren't many places for new doctors and nurses to work anyway; most of my typing clients at that time were nursing students who I'd had for their entire 4-year program and some of them had to leave not only the province, but the country to find a job).article said:Ham’s fundamentalist view of the Bible has led to odd exhibitions at his Noah’s Ark-themed attraction, including dinosaurs, which he believes lived alongside humans on a planet he claims is only about 6,000 years old.
"Nearly all"? I would have thought that any scientist worth the title would have accepted these two things. What's next - there are some scientists denying that plate tectonics is a real thing? (yes, I know it hasn't been that many decades since continental drift was mocked - my Grade 4 teacher taught us about it in science - but there's been enough time for geology to grow up by now)Most scientists believe Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, and nearly all agree that dinosaurs were wiped out around 65 million years ago, long before the first humans appeared.
Well not according to some Christians.
We, who, though unworthy, exercise on earth the power of our Lord and seek with all our might to bring those sheep of His flock who are outside into the fold committed to our charge, consider, however, that the Indians are truly men and that they are not only capable of understanding the Catholic Faith but, according to our information, they desire exceedingly to receive it. Desiring to provide ample remedy for these evils, We define and declare by these Our letters [...], the said Indians and all other people who may later be discovered by Christians, are by no means to be deprived of their liberty or the possession of their property, even though they be outside the faith of Jesus Christ; and that they may and should, freely and legitimately, enjoy their liberty and the possession of their property; nor should they be in any way enslaved; should the contrary happen, it shall be null and have no effect.
Pope Paul III, year 1537, asked to pronounce about a recently discovered large group of people who had no access to Christianity before.
Well, that certainly worked out well, didn't it? /sarcasmthe said Indians and all other people who may later be discovered by Christians, are by no means to be deprived of their liberty or the possession of their property, even though they be outside the faith of Jesus Christ; and that they may and should, freely and legitimately, enjoy their liberty and the possession of their property...

Oh, you mean you think more people should hoard gold and jewels and furs and other costly doodads while poor and homeless people barely survive a few streets away?If more people were like most popes, and fewer popes were like most people, maybe we'd have a better world by now. Yes.
I am not convinced. The popes do not have a great record of morality.If more people were like most popes, and fewer popes were like most people, maybe we'd have a better world by now. Yes.

The Showtime version was tamer than the other version when it comes to violence and gore, but the acting was superior. There's a reason why there are hundreds of fanfiction stories based on this series, and it's mostly because of the terrific rapport the actors had.I am not convinced. The popes do not have a great record of morality.
I don't recall looking for one. If I did, I might put it in the Canadian election thread, since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and discovering hundreds of unmarked graves of indigenous kids on former residential school grounds have ignited a bigger mess than usual and it will definitely affect the election.A debate about how large is the population of descendants of indigenous people of the Americas north or south of the Rio Grande would be off-topic.
Well not according to some Christians.
small minds dont see the big picture
Like this?oh well, maybe Christians bent on saving aliens might not be our best emissaries

Ok, so what were you hinting at?

Something obvious to any North American familiar with how the natives were treated by the Europeans. Their land and possessions were stolen or destroyed, they were forced onto increasingly worse land that made it difficult at best to support themselves, and finally some governments didn't even try to hide their genocidal intentions, whether physical or cultural.Ok, so what were you hinting at?
