In the name of board harmony...

So, does this fall under the Pope's category of "olde tyme religun" (and thus is open to derision), or am I supposed to respect it as a cultural difference?

whether you respect it or not doesn't matter. it's what they believe, that's all.

or castrating muslim men in front of their wives and spearing babies with bayonets like those christian nutters did in lebanon back in the 1980s.

Or kidnapping journalist and aid workers and filming their cloaked selfs hacking off the heads of their captives.

Yeah, I am ashamed of being a Christian. Page 3 in the Bible instructs all Christians to castrate heathen males and bayonet their children. Thought I could skip that part just like my grandfather kinda skipped a few pages in Mein Kampf hoping the anti-Jew passages were filler.

let the new testament speak for itself:

'think not that I am come to send peace on earth: i came not to send peace, but a sword.'--matthew 10:34

'for god commanded, saying, honour thy father and mother: and, he that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.'--matthew 15:4

'he that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of god.'--john 3:18

'and every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.'--matthew 19:29

'he that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.'--luke 11:23

And yet not one word is the word of god but the word of man pretending to be a god.
