Any set of rules which is difficult to follow must not be imposed.It must be left to the individual.If an individual is not inclined to follow Celibacy,but spiritually inclined may be inducted.In this way one can avoid perversions.It must be understood that Sex is not a sin.
Story:
Pope Benedict XVI has defended celibacy among priests, saying it was a sign of “full devotion” to the Catholic Church.
He was speaking at a theological conference before meeting Germany’s top bishop for talks about a new crisis over the sexual abuse of children
German Bishop Robert Zollitsch apologised again to victims of abuse by German priests.
The Archbishop of Vienna had suggested that the Church should examine celibacy and priests’ training.

Bibles and porn, same difference?
If you want to find fault with The Bible, you should provide an alternate which is better, not with the same (perceived) denigration.
Which part of Bible denigrates women?-that women is a part of man or women and men are bound in matrimony unto death?
If you can not differentiate between parables/allegories and philosophy one can only pity you.
First read the Bible;well,it is too much to ask of you as you seem to be doing everything in the University except studying.
A healthy and inquiring mind would have searched for a better system of Philosophy and religion,but not a sick mind obsessed with porn.
Believers, do not give them any recognition for them or for their acts.Best to treat them with indifference.
One more question in what respect do you want women to be respected more than what is given in the Bible?
By allowing them to be flirts, with loose morals , drink ,smoke pot, go in for Divorce, leave children and family ?
Woman occupies most precious position in a society, that is of a Mother.
This has been stressed in the Bible.
Well. You can wake up a Man who is asleep, not one who pretends to be asleep.
<Story:
A stand set up by students on the college campus of the University of San Antonio, Texas, caused quite a stir last week: a group of atheist students were giving out free porn magazines and books in exchange for…bibles.Their message: the way women are portrayed in Holy Scriptures is as degrading as it is in porn literature, so why not trade ‘smut for smut’? Needless to say, Christian students on campus were unimpressed by the initiative.
"Some see me as a kind of antichrist"
We founded our group five years ago, and every year we organise the ‘smut for smut’ campaign. This year the event got more attention than ever: after just three days, we had collected 42 bibles, two Korans and several other sacred texts, including a sort of satanist bible. We ended up running out of porn magazines to trade them against! The campaign also got a lot of media attention, including in the foreign press.Our goal isn’t to shock or offend people but to get them thinking: why are women portrayed in such a misogynistic way in so many religious texts? The Bible is full of excuses used by society to belittle women, it’s just as bad as porn in that sense. So, for us, inviting students to trade bibles against porn is a way of pointing out the flaws in religious texts.
Things sometimes got tough on campus. Never violent, but Christian students took the initiative really badly. There were a couple of arguments, but also a lot of genuine, interesting debates. Some students now see me as a kind of new antichrist, which I think is kind of funny.
This video posted on YouTube shows the members of Atheist Agenda carrying Bible for Porn signs. At 2’16, one of them reads a passage from the Bible that he considers sexist. Christian students respond by chanting "Jesus will set you free!"

Member of the Swiss Political Party that Pushed for Minaret Ban Converts to Islam
Did he jump or was he pushed?
Islam as an ethical doctrine is reasonable in patches and when it comes to explanation or logical progression of ideas on question of Reality it is found wanting.
Some of its ideas on Society especially of women are forthright deplorable and are applicable only to middle ages and it does not appeal to people when it advocates use of Force for conversion.Of course, Christianity does it smoothly.
Story:
Daniel Streich was a member of the Swiss People’s party (SVP), the political party that pushed the minaret ban initiative. Streich is a military instructor in the Swiss Army and a local politician in the commune of Bulle. Formerly a devout Christian, he converted to Islam�”and kept it a secret for two years.Streich has left the SVP, made his conversion to Islam public, and has denounced the SVP’s anti-Muslim campaign as a witch hunt. As far as I can tell, this story has not broken in the English language press. So, I translated a news article on Streich from German to English, published at the Swiss news site Twenty Minutes Online. Here it is:
Daniel Streich, military instructor and, until recently, a Swiss People’s Party (SVP) politician in the city of Bulle, has left the party. The reason: He converted to Islam. For two years he kept this secret from his ex-party. Now, with the “witch hunt against Islam,” this situation has become unbearable for him.
He was a true SVPer and Christian. He read the Bible and regularly went to church. Now Daniel Streich, military instructor and community council member, reads the Qur’an, prays five times a day and goes to a mosque. “Islam offers me logical answers to important life questions, which, in the end, I never found in Christianity,” says Streich.

The Newest Diet Trend: What Would Jesus Eat?
Christianity has been promoted as a brand,now corporations are using Christianity to promote a Brand.!
Story:
God cries when you eat Pop-Tarts. But He smiles when you drink carrot juice, and when you do a colon cleanse, He beams.That’s the spirit driving one of America’s biggest current diet fads. Granted, you’ve probably never heard of it unless you hang with Bible-believing Christians, but it goes by many names: the Hallelujah Diet, the Maker’s Diet, the Lord’s Diet, the Genesis 1:29 Diet. Some versions are vegan, some largely raw; all include organic whole grains — and some of their kingpins have piously channeled this fad into multimillion-dollar enterprises, hawking must-have supplements at hefty prices. An eight-ounce bottle of phosphatidylcholine (a membrane extracted from soybeans or egg yolks) for $124.99? Sure, when its brand name reads like a promise: Divine Health.
