If you look at the Middle Ages we had a terrible problem with witchcraft. The way we handled that was using a lightweight and ad hoc system of roving prosecutors, ie Witchfinders General.
Now we have a problem with paedophilia, exemplified by this joke. I think we need some sort of Paedofinder General.
The Catholic Church while a Unified church, operate rather differently cross different cultures. Even with them following the same rules, the importance of the rules they follow are prioritized differently.
Unless of course the rule in question is, 'Thou shalt protect thine fiddlers of kiddies', follow this rule well and maybe someday you too can be pope.
The US military isn't a christian organization. It's a secular organization controlled by another secular organization; the US government.
Ah that old chestnut eh? Well then allow me to retort, "... one nation, UNDER GOD, indivisible..." sounds real secular to me *cough*. Sure there is no mention of which god but i know where i'd put my money.
Consider that neither American political party would even nominate a presidential candidate if he/she was not a christian, with strongly held christian values to appeal to the majority christian population.
I just wonder how long it will be before the airlines hike their air fares to cover their losses on this one, or indeed whether they will just follow certain European governments' financial collapse tactics of sending the bill to Iceland.
After all surely the Icelandic people knew that the volcano had not erupted for a while and would to go again soon. What if anything did the Icelandic government do to prevent this catastrophe?
