I think I will respond to this one. I will point out to lurkers that you are lying.
In what way are you lying, Dave? Oh, the usual way you guys lie when you can't win an arguments on the merits of your case. You twist what I said.
My point is that I have never said that professed Protestants have never committed murderous atrocities against RCs. (It merely suited you to bluster in your own pretense that I had said such a thing.)
Gosh, it is obvious that some professing Protestants don't know the Lord any more than the typical RC does in our day. Being a Protestant doesn't make a person a real Christian any more than being a Catholic does. I stipulated this IN MY ARTICLE, Dave.
But I was correct in pointing out in one of the subsequent posts that the murderous atrocities committed by the RCC through history drastically outnumber similar crimes committed by unregenerate Protestants.
You need to read the real history of the RCC. You need to get educated.

By the same token, I would never say that there have never been closet (or even overt) homosexuals in the supposedly Protestant ministry. But they are relatively rare in the Protestant movement. On the other hand, they are everywhere in the RC priesthood.
Surely you see what I am saying, SD.
So, your lame attempt to justify ignoring my article at the top of this thread doesn't WORK. You actually condemn yourself for your trouble. In other words, you are digging your hole deeper for yourself.
Not a good idea, friend. Deal with the article. It smashes your precious doctrine of transubstantiation.
We disagree on this point. Neither of us is "lying" about it, just one of us is relying on biased sources.
But to bring up only the tragedies of one side is to paint yourself as pure. So spare me how I "misrepresented" what you said. You know damn well that repeating these accusations of Catholic attrocites is done for one reason only -- to make Protestants in the Amen Corner say "oooh those evil Catholics. I'm so glad I'm a pure Protestant."
So just spare all of us. Write your little Scriptural eisegeses, but leave the polemics out of it, OK?

LOL. Right. You argue from what you wish would be, rather than from any facts you may have. Protestantism, especially in the 20th Century, is nothing other than the surrender of Christianity to the basest sexual desires.
Who stands for the unborn? Who stands against adultery? Who stands against contraception?
