I mean, is not the abuse of those Irish children entirely explicable as the result of a physical/chemical system? What makes the physics behind a soup kitchen any better than the physics behind the abuse in Ireland? Don't both situations owe their existence to the same physical laws? Why distinguish morally between them?Socrates, Jr.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-38089433567243188332009-05-31T03:56:56.472-06:002009-05-31T03:56:56.472-06:00Given that humans are simply combinations of chemi...<I>Given that humans are simply combinations of chemicals and electricity, doesn't it just come down to physics whether any given person is kind or cruel?</I> -<br /><br />Yes, which is why the well-being of other human beings is explicable.Larry Hamelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788697573946266404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-40215976190539684432009-05-31T03:56:26.335-06:002009-05-31T03:56:26.335-06:00the Cathechism of the Catholic Church condemns rap...<I>the Cathechism of the Catholic Church condemns rape, especially the rape of children by those to whom they are entrusted</I> -<br /><br />Didn't do much good, eh?Larry Hamelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788697573946266404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-41124808423713147302009-05-30T13:38:30.632-06:002009-05-30T13:38:30.632-06:00"Really, how fucking stupid to you have to be to c..."Really, how fucking stupid to you have to be to consider the well-being of other people to be inexplicable?"<br /><br />Given that humans are simply combinations of chemicals and electricity, doesn't it just come down to physics whether any given person is kind or cruel?Fred N.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-62520411797073825142009-05-30T13:35:59.485-06:002009-05-30T13:35:59.485-06:00"The only people who need transcendence are religi..."The only people who need transcendence are religious fucktards to morally justify raping and abusing thousands of children."<br /><br />Hmm... I was not aware that any Irish theologians wrote treatises endorsing child rape/abuse. (Indeed, it was my recollection that the Cathechism of the Catholic Church condemns rape, especially the rape of children by those to whom they are entrusted). Could you point me to any theological manuals (with imprimatur and nihil obstat) that theologically justified the abuses in Irish schools?Socrates, Jr.noreply@blogger.com
