An adults self righteous excuse to tattle tale.

concern troll

In a situation where there exists mutually exclusive positions A and B, a concern troll is someone who supports A but professes to support B around genuine supporters of B. However, they express their "concerns" about aspects of position B in order to sow doubt and uncertainty amongst genuine supporters of B.

Whilst this does genuinely happen, the term is used by some paranoid people to effectively mean "anyone who does not agree entirely with the standard dogma of position B, thus must actually covertly support position A", when said person does actually support B, just only 99%.

Thus: disagreeing *at all* with the standard dogma of B will get you branded by such people as The Enemy, and you will get generally treated with hostility and suspicion and, at worst, forcibly ejected from the B-supporter group. Result: everyone stops thinking about the issues, and discussion descends into not arriving at logical and interesting places but who can most furiously support B.
1: "All Democrats should be hanged, drawn and quartered! Grrgrrrgrrrgr!"
2: "Uh.. that's a bit excessive. I mean, I don't agree with the Democrats, but maybe we shouldn't actually, like, KILL them.."
1: "CONCERN TROLL! CLEARLY YOU ARE 100% DEMOCRAT! BEGONE, SINNER!"

Immaculate Conception

The Immaculate Conception is the Catholic teaching that Mary was conceived in the womb of her mother, Anne, without Original Sin, as a unique gift to her, in preparation for being the Mother of God.

It does NOT refer to the virginal conception of Jesus Christ in the womb of Mary. Only TV land and people not intelligent enough to get their theological facts from sources other than popular films use "Immaculate Conception" to refer to the conception of Christ.

The doctrine of the the Immaculate Conception is based on the assumption of St Augustine's notion of Original Sin, which teaches that all human beings, from the moment of their conception, carry the guilt and stain of the sins of the first human beings. It is from this guilt that Mary is said to have been uniquely preserved.

As this notion of Original Sin isn't accepted by Orthodox or other Christians, the Catholic teaching of the Immaculate Conception is seen by them as the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
I wish I'd had an immaculate conception like Mary, so I wouldn't have original sin.
