Yes, I know, "God works in mysterious ways, etc" I know all the arguments, for and against. I've heard them all ad nauseum.
And I don't think we've "grown up", Neko. Just look around. I"m sure anyone will agree that as a species, we have a long way to go.
If I've offended anyone, 3 hail Marys in pentinence. Still remember the rosary!

Didja hear of the little Irish boy who was naughty, and was made to go to confession by his Mama? The priest gave him three Hail Marys as penance, and when the priest left church later there was this little boyo on the church steps, crying, with tears and snot everywhere.
"What's up boyo" sez the priest.
"Fadder, you gave me three Hail Marys for penance."
"Yes" says the priest.
"Oh Fadder, I only know bloody one!!!!!"
