creeds which do not
stress the Gender (Father) but offer more egalitarian, and less sexist views
of God."

So what? It does not change the basic beliefs as in the Creed that I have
just reproduced.
You should have known better, since you are known to be a professor. Gender
and sexism is all in your sexist mind! In those days and even now, 'MAN' is
normally used to denote the common or either / both sexes of humans! In
Australia, when we say 'guys' it means, addressing both guys and gals. How
about that Mr. Pinto? Is Aussie colloqualism sexist? Or are you sexist?

I pray that the believers will grow stronger in the Faith; and that those
who do not yet believe, will do so and become Christian! What a Wonderful
World!
George Pinto pontificates:
I pray it will be a much more wonderful world if people do not become
Christian, at least not the
narrow view advocated by some, including the current Pope. A better view
would be women priests, no discrimination based on sexual orientation,
diversity of saints, diversity of Popes, etc.
Nasci responds:
I am talking of the core of the Christian Faith, and you are talking of the
Church administration and Church leaders and other factors in the religious
enactments relating to the Faith. How pathetic! You are not focussed on the
topic, you wish to discuss. Is this the way you teach your students,
Professor?
George Pinto adds:
And I would add, there is nothing wrong with being Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim,
Parsi, atheist, agnostic,
etc. Long live a secular world.
Nasci responds:
Personally I think there is most wrong, almost everything wrong in being a
'Muslim' and a 'Hindu religious', not Hindu as one just born in India
(Hindia). However, I will not be goaded into a discussion of my views on
this, on this forum. Come privately and I will expound.
A 'secular world' does not mean, that you talk about some other religions,
if you want to have a discussion on the Christian Faith; All I did was
profess my Faith and that of all Christians on this forum.
A 'secular world' only means 'tolerence of other religions' and equal
treatment of other religions, in the public domain.
Mr Pinto, I hope for your sake, that you do now understand 'secularism'!!
Secularism allows for discussion and profesion of religion and comparisons
as well, in a decent and non violent way!.
If you wish to really discuss, then start one with your own topic. Please do
not mix up your 'shady outmoded' thinking with my topic. OK? Focus focus on
the issue! And even then, you have no high hopes of being a 'St George
Pinto' or Pope George! :-) :-)
Secularly thoughtful.
