One thing is being born catholic, and another is being catholic.

correct dear.
Happy new year for you, and your love ones.
BTW, you look cute in that new pic.

That is what the propaganda machinery made you believe

It means what it means. It should not be so hard to get for a literalist.

the mexican would be just trying to revover their stolen land.

Truth is whatever i can see absolutely clearly, and which is absolutely distinguishable from other things.

those, who were considered crazy at a time, are the ones who have given us science as we know it today.
Einstein was a visionary, he saw time beyond our sensorial capacity which extremely limited. Einstein saw time metaphysically and ontologically which are the only source to see things beyond the limitness of our senses.
Crazy are those who are limited by the sensorial reality, and are not able to see beyond.

QUE VIVA LA REVOLUCION, CARAJO!!!!!!!!!!
It's not a new one, but by God I love it.

As to the topic of this thread (I have not even seen the video):
Things are good or bad (repulsive) depending upon the individual who sees them or reads them. What that person has in his/her heart or feelings is what gives that person a perception of the reality, and the things in that reality. (Bible included.)

It addresses the point you are trying to make in the sense is that you are choosing certain passages in the Bible which are there (no doubt), and probably for the untrained eye me be some sort of bloody pornography, yet when an individuals takes out one part from a whole to make a point that individual falls in what is know as a logical fallacy.
Therefore, COGITO ERGO SUM.
I read your assertions, and they are not other thing than one of millions of attempts to distort something which is and stands by itself.
Individual like you and others exist in the world since christianity is christianity, and as a matter of fact you are good, you are fulfilling a God's mission.
That mission is to question things, so we (the ones who believe) are forced to study and increase our faith and knowledge of that faith.
Thank you for fulfilling God's command in your life.

COGITO ERGO SUM, my friend.

a better question would be why man is violent by nature and therefore, man corrupts all belief systems in a way or another.

each one reads and understands what each one wants.
the individual who reads something as the Bible and stays just with the literal meaning of the Bible, is like the one who cannot see farther than his/her nose.
Those who argue about violence in the Bible are the same as the christian fundies, the only difference is that the former argue the other way around from the christian fundies, but the end both of them are the very same thing. LITERALISTS.

global companies which start where?
global companies which their principal shareholders are located at...?

yeah germany and france, are hurting but where did the mess come from? from the head of the empire.
the social democratic is very different in south america, it starts from a resentment towards North America, the people are starting to realize that part of the reason of our status quo is because of the empire, and the families who runs the big businesses which support the crime of globalization, are the ones who benefit, while the poors become poorer and poorer.
Thanks God people are openning their eyes

yeap, though i don't live in the states, anymore. I'm back to the colony of the empire where i came from.

powers such Germany and France are based on social democratic model.
yes, big owners rule the North American government, no wonder why they mess up financial markets, then they cry for help from the government. The governmen gives 700 billion dollars, and who pays? the taxpayers (citizens) and what they say?
not much, they are mental slaves.

do the dallas cowboys have any hope?

The best political model is the Social Democracy which supports a more intense participation of the citizens in the decisions of the government.
In this way is the people and not the big economic powers the one who decide.
However as every political model is an utopy until the seeds of corruption are erradicated.
Until the big business owners are controlled by the government, and not the other way around.
Until umbilical cord which makes countries as mine slaves of the empire of the north is broken.
Until these things happens a wonderful political model as social democracy will be an utopy

in reality time as we know it has been set by the man.
mankind just set a standard in which divide time.
However, there is a further view of time which is the metaphysical view.
Time, regardless of its mathmatical value, is just a space or period in which an event occurs.
There is one Being who is above time, actually He owns it. That being is God.
This is my point of view regardless all the argument in this thread.
