Please understand, I am not debating my beliefs.
Others here are experts and I am not.

My debate is with cold hearted people who come onto a religion thread and feel that they can insult the beliefs of others.

My jump into this thread came with a statement of idolotry. Tons of examples are given where it "seems" that Catholics are into Idolotry because of statues. No one knows what goes on in my head nor my heart. Some Catholics go too far with veneration of Mary, I conceed that, but to paint Catholics with the same broad brush that Conservatives are painted is unfair.

In the same vein, this article has stated clearly that it is for Protestants who are searching. If you are not searching, it is not for you. I was involved with different Protestant churches for long time. I have no problem with your right to your beliefs. I have a problem with anyone namecalling for mine.


That is where I am at.
I got nothing done in my house yesterday because of posting on this thread, so if I don't answer you in a timely fashion, please don't think I am avoiding you or being rude. I'm thinking of you while I'm doing laundry!

God Bless You!

Thank you for your polite response, nmmom.

My point also has to do with this being a thread that targets protestants. I feel compelled to support those protestants who might be searching. Since they are already protestants, it is only fair that they hear first from one of their own.

But wasn't that you calling someone stupid?
