Forever and ever amen. I’ll not bother you anymore, please don’t say you’ll pray for me and don’t actually do it, I find it tremendously offensive.

I pray regularly for everyone on this forum. I pray for a return to God. We can't keep having centuries like the last one, which was the bloodiest in all of history at the hands of those who abandoned God, twisted God, and served the secular gods of greed and power. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Blame technology, not religion or lack of it. WWI saw planes and tanks and submarines used for the first time. Of course the casualties would be out of control. WWII was far worse than the first war. Blaming it on religion is naive and a distraction from the truth. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

What's the difference if they do it or not, the results are exactly the same. It's their time to waste. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I'm blaming it on the absence of religion and faith in God. You really think improvements in bullets and guns explain how more people died at the hands of atheistic dictators like Stalin and the like then all the other wars combined? We also made great strides in medical care to care for wounded soldiers and save lives. The truth is the further and further our society gets from God the more violent, chaotic, and confused it becomes. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

That WAS the reason. We had the ability to carpet bomb entire cities to rubble in WWII. We had machine guns and flame throwers and battleships that could cause huge destruction in both wars. It would have happened no matter who was behind it and did happen in later wars. It's naive to blame religion. But you have to, that's the stance of your Church and you took a vow to only spew what they you told to. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | I've never heard any official teaching on any of this, have you? I'm just thinking that the amount of war, the ferocity, coupled with improved weapons and atheism made the 20th century so awful in terms of violent bloodshed, sexual slavery, and other atrocities. Do you think it really has nothing to do with athestic governments like the Soviet Union? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Every Catholic site I've read says exactly what you say, almost word for word. That atheists are the cause of all the destruction in the 20th century. That isn't a coincidence they all say the same thing. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It's the wording they use, identical to yours. Like you all have a set of talking points. I always see things that you have said, almost word for word. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
