Y’all pray to moldering corpses, not us.

And there’s the part where none of it, strictly speaking, applies to FR. But let’s not quibble.

This is the religion forum. The Dem bashing section is over there. ->

Yet for all of its brilliance, the book does not demonstrate its central thesis, that Protestantism must shoulder most of the responsibility for the various things which Dr. Gregory dislikes about modern Western society, from its exaltation of the scientific paradigm to its consumerism to its secular view of knowledge

How does he explain the fact that the Catholic Church worships science and even the mystical Eastern churches feel they have to accept it to prove they aren't Protestants?

Good post, Alex Murphy; good post

What an embarrassment they truly are.

So I prove how un-Christianlike a Bible thumper is and my my proof is deleted? Why wasn’t the proof of un-Christianlike comments deleted from the thread I linked?! Bashing Catholics (again I’m Protestant) is okay, but supplying proof of un-Christianlike conduct is not?

[goodwithagun]

This but not my post? Seriously?

[Gamecock]

Why you pinging me? I have nothing to fo with your post being pulled.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

bless you for having the gnads to say it, even if there are those without the brains to keep it said

Do you really think an American conservative forum is the appropriate place to be calling people "Bible-thumpers?"

I suggest you go to a Communist or secular humanist forum for that sort of terminology.

Your post was removed because you were "making it personal."

My definition of Bible thumper is one who thimps others in the face with scripture while ignoring scripture himself. I’d type who that is, but apparently that, along with actually proof from another thread, is looked down upon.

[goodwithagun]

That poster has been making it personal for a long time now. I simply posted a link showing that. Why were the comments that poster made on that thread not pulled for the same reason?

[Religion Moderator]

Posting links to prior threads is not allowed on the Religion Forum. If you wish to continue a dispute, go to the previous thread, and make your point there.

Your lack of reading comprehension is probably a strong contributor to your heresy problem.

Let's try some easy math:

There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;

If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;

that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)

...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!

Purty good fer someone NOT 'devine'!

Well said!

WHAT was said?

I saw nothing about religion OR politics!
