Posting in the Religion Forum is tricky for those that aren’t used to being here.

As a general observation I find that some posters on the RF possibly think more highly of themselves than they ought. If any of them read this comment I'm sure they will feel it is a personal attack because the shoe fits too closely.

Somewhere up thread one such person seems to believe that they are the incarnation of the Holy Spirit who can determine the salvation of the person that they responded to. I find that presumptuous at best .

Several very vocal posters seem to think it is OK to set aside the role of civil discourse in interpersonal communications as long as they are 'contending for the faith'. I'm not so sure that such an approach was what enabled the early church to expand to the entire known world in one century. Beating someone over the head with a five pound sledge (or a 97 pound Scofield Reference Edition of the KJV) is not typically the way to encourage someone to entertain your position on any matter.

Some constant posters on this forum of FR are expert at baiting non-approved responses from others and once they get such, hit abuse on that poster to get them silenced. Since this handful of posters has well learned how to manipulate the rules on this forum they manage to remain untouched no matter the right/wrongness of their opinions and the stridency with which they espouse them.

Wading into almost any thread on this portion of FR is akin to teaching a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig. Very similar to trying to engage in a civil discourse with a lieberal.

The guilty parties abide in both camps of Christianity for you will find both Protestant and Catholic bashing threads on this forum. It seems to me that all parties could benefit from reading and applying the process outlined in the following link.

speaking the truth in love

I will now fade back into the background.

Someone go nail this to the freeping door.

Several RCs come to mind. Which ones did you mean?

Meaning, your post can be construed to be anti-Catholic.

Good thing I'm not the RM or I'd be PO'd that you posted I could be so easily manipulated.
