It certainly is depressing that the Religion Moderator seems to encourage this kind of stuff. It undermines the basic purpose of FR, which is to get people of various persuasions to work together against the evil forces that are working to destroy our country. And there’s certainly nothing Christian about such an attitude.

Yes, I believe the Religion Moderator encourages battles as well, and it IS discouraging.

I think the comment onyx mentioned from CynicalBear, regarding more Catholics being in hell than Muslims, should be removed, just like I thought a photograph of a prominent Catholic, marked up to look like Satan, fell into that same category as well. Because it wasn't removed, I pulled off the site for several months, and when I returned, I decided to pass on further donations and just not post any more threads to balance things out.

I didn't realize so many others were similarly discouraged, and will back off again soon myself even though I do enjoy the commentary of most of the Catholics here, and a couple-few of the non-Catholics as well.

SWEETEST mlizzy,

Like I said in my original post to Cicero, I think our RM does a fantastic job. The battles only exist because some of us Catholics are baited into replying to the egregious "articles" posted by a certain few, many of which are dated as far back as 2010.

My advice is to let those people have their "articles" all to themselves. Jesus weeps. Lord have mercy.

Think about it, it's only a limited few, who spend hours a day here, expressing "their opinions." Ignore them and their threads.

God bless and keep you all.

I was surprised to see this thread still going for 2 months, and looked to see if someone revived, and lo, it was you, the same one who got involved in a exchange i had with someone else, and would have died sooner otherwise.

You mean that you want him to change the rules to exempt Catholicism from being impugned, since that is your only complaint, while RCs can say such things as,

that Protestantism is belief in one’s self, and
absolutely alien to Christianity, and that,
Protestants are mostly biblically illiterate,
intellectually dishonest,
evil fruit, who
don’t have the Holy Spirit, and
are not part of the Body of Christ, and
who have no foundation for their understanding of Christianity, and
will not be saved unless they becomes a member of the Catholic Church, and
are by inclination vandals who should be purged from the face of the earth,

But that Catholics never put down or challenge beliefs from protestants, and that,
there never has been a bit of anti-protestant bigotry on FR,
and that they have never seen a Catholic teaching proven false.

So CB is censured while the very church you defend damned all of us former RCs, and which many RCs here concur with:

Pope Eugene IV, Cantate Domino (1441): "The most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the "eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41), unless before death they are joined with Her;

just like I thought a photograph of a prominent Catholic, marked up to look like Satan,

So that must be nuked along with Dante's inferno i supopose, while everything from derogatory pictures of Luther to the YOPIS cereal box is allowed.

You seem to want to turn this into Catholic Answers. Did you ever see how many banned users that has, due to being so touchy and one sided?
