Woah.. This thread is hot.. like fiery hot..
Anyway, i have read why TS started the thread here but still I would agree with the others, this thread is in the wrong section. It's an issue of people not religion.
My POV
- This is aint about religion or something related to it. It's about two people (religious pajud. Such a shame to Catholics.. Oh gosh I'm a Catholic.. ehehe!) making a mistake, a grave mistake. Well someone notioned that they are role models.. well we can compare them to teachers.. role models too but not all are models (some do immoral things). And the list goes on, from the president, down to parents, down to an older sis/bro and etc. So I say, we all are supposed to be role models for other people.
- Everyone makes mistakes, regardless on what group or category you belong. There is always a bad fruit. So generalizing that a particular group to be bad, immoral, stupid or anything that is related because of some fruit that is stupid without even knowing the rest of the group? Now that's what we call being prejudice.. hope won't lead to discrimination. There is a difference between saying that a person is wrong and saying a group is wrong because of one to two person.
- There is a difference between religious person and a spiritual person. For Catholics(since I'm one) religious people are those, who pray everyday, attend mass, go with procession almost all Church activities they're there. Spiritual person doesn't have to be a religious, more about growth.. has the willingness to grow as person, as someone who can make a difference in this world by touching lives. They're trying to be virtues. Gives love and compassion. A religious person is not a spiritual person and vice versa. Well, there are times that a person is both.
(Maybe this is why I still believe that an atheist can be a spiritual person.). So please, lets refrain from aligning this two. By the way this is not limited to Catholics okey?

Hope you won't get mad on me for saying this, but for people to call you this and that I think they are saying that because of the way you post. How you speak up on your posts.
