If my reformist, pro-Catholic(?) views offends some right-wing Catholic fundamentalists on this forum, so be it.

I wonder who George is trying to reform on this forum, with his unrelenting propaganda? Thanks, but NO Thanks George, for your kind of teachings. Now ain�t we all learning so much from you?
�Freedom of speech� must not be (liberally) taken as �freedom to abuse�. Right thinking and sensible individuals do NOT abuse other people�s faith, religion or religious beliefs. This is how wars have started and history shows how egotistic people have wrongly used religion to perpetuate wars and bloodshed. You think you are doing the right thing here? When people point out this out, you try and bulldoze them off.
Also, God being male or female has any bearing on your religion? You seem to be deliberately making this a sexist (Catholic/Church) issue, as evident through your inference and implication. It is hard to believe you could not decipher if your God is male or female (Father or Mother) and needed to question it on this forum.

A couple of questions: 1. Is God male, hence father? 2. Is God a white European male like most racist pictures depict him to be?

Re your question #2: �Is God a white European male like most racist pictures depict him to be?�
George, did anyone ask you not to depict God other than �white�? Is this a serious racist issue, as you portray it? (Or is it an inferiority complex?) Does it really make any difference if God is depicted as white, black or brown? Are the White Europeans stopping you from portraying God as brown or black?
Aren�t you intelligent enough to sense the sentiments of people, even after people repeatedly remind you that you are offending others? You need to take a deep breather and �THINK� about the stuff you post, my friend. It will certainly do you a whole lot good in life. I don�t think anyone here has anything personal against you; there is no need to be paranoid about this or elevate your stress levels.
You cannot always be right, and others always wrong. Please remember that!
Best wishes,
Joe Vaz
