Re: OT: Something worrying
OK, now I really have an urge to post "NOOOOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!" but I have something serious to say about the matter too.
OK, first off, I'm a devout (if you could call it that) atheist, I don't believe in God or any supernatural being, if I were to believe in anything it's be science. I don't believe Christ rose from his grave on Easter, but I do believe he existed. As a person, if nothing else.
There is plenty of evidence for that, but I'm not gonna try and put up some coherent sources here - but think about this: if Christ never existed, how did the Catholic Church ever come into being? Suddenly and inexplicably? No. Religions, much less churches, aren't founded without a prophet. They don't just pop into existence. By far the most logical person to be the prophet for the Catholic faith, is Jesus Christ.
(Still, the question remains - how then did the Catholic church become the [ib]Catholic[/b] church, and not the Christian church? Most world faiths are named after their prophets, or the core ("Islam" means peace) of their faith. Where then did the name "Catholic" come from? There's probably a logical explanation for this, but I don't know it.)
There. That's been said. Now on to other business.
NOOOOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!
