What do you think Jesus would say about all this? Theology is your area of expertise, after all.

Who are you talking to?

You've mixed in a bit of truth to make your lies stronger. Classy.

Is he (are you, history_of_psychiatry) a theology expert? I'm fairly new here and haven't read any of his other posts and he didn't make a claim of expertise in that one, so that's why I ask.

Didn't you know? All atheists are theology experts, and they don't even have to study!

You say the Catholic Church helped Hitler get into and gave their silent assent to the Holocaust? It was the German people who did those things, not the Catholic Church. The rest I won't dignify with a response.

The statement was a sarcastic way of denigrating history_of_psychiatry's knowledge of this topic.

But it helps.

And a lot of people who come to realize how ridiculous it is often turn atheist.

But that's neither here nor there.

what happened to the good old exorcisms, sprinkling with holy water and all?

Well, OBVIOUSLY all of the homosexuals, abortionists, and atheists have made the demons stronger, so holy water isn't tough enough anymore. Now they have to use hammers.
But before anyobody gets any ideas, my demons are hammer-proof. Their only weaknesses are larges stacks of crisp, new 100-dollar bills and slices of strawberry cheesecake. =]

Can't touch this.

Our whole legal system is based on Christian values.
