A bible in the hand of a Catholic is like the constitution in the hands of a liberal.
Now kindly retract the claws.
No. Not so long as you and your co-religionists use "science" as an excuse to dismiss Genesis while throwing that same "science" in the garbage can when it comes to the "miracles" of the "new testament."
It is only natural that anyone who subscribes to sola scriptura would make this comparison. They interpret the bible in a "strict sense," much as Jeffersonians interpret the Constitution. Compared to this those of us who do not subscribe to sola scriptura (and this includes me, btw) seem like the "loose construction" and "implied powers" of the Hamiltonians.
I do not believe in sola scriptura. I acknowledge both an authoritative oral interpretive tradition and contemporary religious authorities. That is not my quarrel with the Catholic and Orthodox churches. My quarrel is their uncalled for yet apparently undying hatred for the literal truth of Genesis. That is what this is about and I will continue to point out such hypocrisy as long as it is practiced.
Dude ... chill. You don’t even know my views on the Genesis story. Didn’t even ask me.
Lighten up.
You're the one showing hatred here ... not me.
Again ... you don’t know my opinion on Genesis. You haven’t even bothered to ask. All you’ve done is start in on me because of my response to somone comparing Catholics and the bible to Dems and the constitution. Totally different topic altogether.
Enjoy your hate. Good day.
