VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Broga|DATE|1357674840|CONTENT|Edwin:  I think most priests don&#039;t believe what they preach.  To take one piece of evidence, do the RC priests and C.of E. clergy who sexually abuse children believe that an all seeing all knowing God is watching them?   It is impossible to accept that they do.  Do RC priests believe that the bread is flesh and the wine is blood?   So what is going on?  They know that this, and much else, is nonsense but prefer, as you put it, to stay in the comfort zone.  I suspect that the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury are about as convinced of the &quot;truth&quot; of their bible and faith as I am myself.     |EMAIL|denis.watkins1@virgin.net|IP-ADDRESS|86.27.19.96|MODERATIONFLAG|
