Okay, you should probably calm down. I didn't say you hated religion, I was simply using a clever little saying from the modern lexicon. If I called you a
player hater would you have accused me of calling you a racist???
I'm trying to understand what your point here is. It's topical, I'll grant you that. But I guess I'm just curious to know what dog you have in this fight, that's all.

Okay, so a comment like this here is why Roman Catholics like me are going to call out non-Roman Catholics such as yourself on this argument. Please go re-read my previous questions, and maybe answer them.
The suggestions that seem to be coming from the secularists and the non-Catholics are "well, you should just stop doing things the way you do them, and then more people will join." First off, I don't see that as a solution to the actual problem (which I've already discussed), and secondly, what the heck then is the point of being a religion based on scripture, faith, principles, and tradition, if those things can just be made malleable for the sake of winning a popularity contest? This Church could be the biggest one in the universe for all I care, but if it were to basically become like the unitarian universalist church in order to reach that popularity, then I'd go elsewhere! I'm guessing I'm not alone in that boat.

Okay, so your solution then is make women priests. I disagree, but you're not alone in feeling that way.
