Of course I know that. Yours is wrong. I would hope you could someday put your full faith in Christ's sacrifice alone (and not your own worldly tributes to Him) but this is not the proper time to convince you.
The problem that I have is with people going around picking fights over this. There is no need to introduce this intra-Christian mudslinging on a thread that is about Christians vs. the secular world in regard to politics. This is doubly true in light of the graph I posted earlier which doesn't cast a very good light on the political consequences of having more Catholics.
Again, I can deal with the endless stream of Catholic threads on a "conservative" forum. Go ahead and celebrate your religion. I know there are many Catholics here who enjoy it. Just don't start (unprovoked) saying my faith is invalid.
If you want to do that start a new thread specifically debating Christian vs Catholic beliefs and see what happens.
Why are culture won’t necessarily change Christians?
