    Fill you with love and light, the Holy Spirit really is just another name for the mother Goddess Isis who gave birth to Horus. The Native Americans call it the great spirit and there is many different names for God to many different people, we also have our own concepts of what god is or don't believe in god at all.

    Its only a front for a global religous theme park , where the gullible are conned and charged for it

    He tells the cardinals how to "Properly" Molest children. It is a highly spiritual process that takes years to fully get the "Grasp of". Eventually they really get a "Feel" for it. Its quite the touchy subject, take it up with your local priest. Asking him "for a hand" is usually how the process starts. GOOD LUCK! :D
