Other Christian denominations...not so weird. I hear about ministers getting married all the time. I'm just used to that. Ughh..I won't even attempt to explain. :lol:

Are the Catholics the only Christians that don't allow priests to marry?


I believe so. Also, Rabbi's are not part of the christian faith if thats what you ment. If not then disregard this

In my religion, the leaders are people from the congregation. In order to get to heaven, marriage is required. So, we don't have any leaders who AREN'T married. That's why it's weird to me.

MY POTATO!!!!!!! :cry:

it was the brain child of some guy, who wrote a book back in the day saying sex without procreation was a sin. this is the same guy that said there's 7 layers to hell, the 7th being really really cold.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Yeah, I know. :) I was just wondering about non-Christian religious leaders.
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong

I think Rabbis can marry. But I'm probably wrong, considering I'm basing this on the fact that Krusty's father was a Rabbi.

But yeah, I'm nearly 100% sure rabbis can marry since marriage is considered a must for men in Judaism

If I remember correctly from world religions class, they can yes. Orthodox jews are very strict about members of the opposite sex though. They cannot be left alone in the same room with each other and such. Also the marriages are usually arranged. Just thought I'd share. *leaves*

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

This guy in my class's next-door neighbour's uncle is being considered for pope. True story.
