- No, Suzanne, your definition of "good" is definitely not the
- same as mine. I don't think that someone who prays for
- another to suffer misfortune can be considered good. You do.
-

- ## I can think of a lot of other similarities between Terry and the
- ## pope. Both are misogynists, both are homophobes, both delight
- ## in giving advice on subjects about which they know nothing, and
- ## both teach their folowers to hate.

- #You have not shown _any_ of these to be the case with either man.
- #Care to try?

- First, let me say that I failed to note which pope you were
- quoting. I was referring to the present pope in my comments,
- not Paul VI. My comments stand, though. If you weren't lying
- when you said that you "never go away" from t.a., then you've
- seen what I've posted about the misogyny, homophobia, etc.
- of the RCC and O.R.

- ## (Thanks to Suzanne for illustrating
- ## this last similarity so well.)
- #
- #Please explain to me how avoiding contraception or abortion is "hateful"?
-
- As others pointed out, I don't think that you're hateful because
- of your lack of a sex life, Suzanne. I think that you're hateful
- because of the hateful statements that you consistently make
- in this newsgroup.
-
- #Unless living a successful, self-determined, life without them makes
- #_other_ people resentful and envious. I assure you, that is not _my_
- #problem. As you well know, I have posted many times where and how
- #other people can learn to live successful, self-determined, lives
- #without messing their bodies up with contraceptives or slaughtering
- #their children with abortion.
-
- I don't think that you need to worry about people becoming
- resentful because they envy you, Suzanne.
