Why do you want Catholics on this thread? You already know where we stand. I’m going to lurk with a bag of popcorn as you guys disagree with each other. Have fun!

Mormons are welcome too. That popcorn sounds like a goooood idea. I think I have one microwave bag left in the pantry. *Shuffle shuffle*

Catholics are not welcome because they represent The Church as defined by passe opportunists and their apostles, both evidently erroneous in their definition of the Church, as our founders were in, say, the wording of the Second Amendment. Fortunately we now live in a more enlightened age.

In 1543 Luther published On the Jews and Their Lies in which he says that the Jews are a "base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth."[13] They are full of the "devil's feces ... which they wallow in like swine."[14] The synagogue was a "defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible whore and an evil slut ..."[15] He argues that their synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes razed, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness,[16] afforded no legal protection,[17] and these "poisonous envenomed worms" should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time.[18] He also seems to advocate their murder, writing "[w]e are at fault in not slaying them".

Oh well. At least we're "all Jews" now!
