Catholics are groovy as long as your not one of those child molesting priest kind of guys. Born agains, evangelicals and televangelist? Scary stuff. Some are scum of the Earth. I personally have witnessed a "scum of the Earth" pastor fraudulently acquire my aunts entire estate worth 1.5. Got her to buy a house, lied to her about ownership. Put it into Joint tenancy instead of common. Never told her, handled all her finances. b - bye 1.5 mil. All in the name of Jesus. Thank you lord.

On topic, my sister in law caught Zika in Guatemala. Very painful, but over in about 10 days. Not nearly as bad as chikungunya or dengue according to her. She’s had both of those as well. Very scary about pregnancy and rate of spread though. Yikes.

Where is the outrage on this being Obamas fault like Ebola? Those calling for stopping flights and going against medical science got it wrong. Actually Obama should be credited for stopping Ebola if you blamed him for the spread. Utter nonsense. By the way, looks like Rubio is going to be your nominee.

As I've pondered on before Mr.G, eternal life after death, condemned into doing that which is enjoyed in the land of the living (a curious differentiation between new and old gear, surely) Is my vision of hell. (I'm not able to understand heaven - perhaps such remains beyond human comprehension.)

But I do not disrespect devout Christians, and neither do I know any such who are not against abortion on demand, as a life style. I also know Christians who accept scientific realities - didn't an earlier Pope contemplate the possibility/probability of alien life forms?

I know this though, Mr.G, the older we get, the less cocksure of anything we seem to become. Perhaps that's subconscious recognition of our eventual mortality!

It is actually preferable to explain rather than trumpet one's superior knowledge. When I was growing up, Catholic doctrine was not that non-Catholics were doomed to hell--but it was that non-Catholics would not be admitted to the higher levels of heaven. For babies that died unbaptised, they devised they concept of limbo. Many evangelical sects, including the various ones my brother has belonged to, both prosletize and teach that the unsaved--including Catholics and others in main stream religions--are doomed to hell.

I heard that oftentimes in evangelical teaching too. However, there is also danger in for those who teach it. Because, it is tantamount on putting themselves in God's place who has sole authority to judge. In addition, even the saved people will face the final judgement too. Therefore, no one can rightly say who will be doomed in hell.

Aaaannnnnd there we have it from the biblethumpers.

Sheesh. I cannot comprehend people who think God's law trumps man's. It's not God who locks criminals up; it's MAN. Whether God will send us to hell is highly debatable ... even more so than Which Foot First.
