I think Catholics have the thinnest skin around. Somebody somewhere doesn't think like they do and they're angry.

After many long years here, I guarantee you, it works both ways in these forums in spades. You would think a person could be content living his his own religion without going out of their way to attack the religion of another, but these forums are Exhibit "A" that that doesn't see to be the case with many.

I’ve been on the Internet since the pre-WWW, wild Usenet days; but I’ve never witnessed anywhere the kind of religious enmity I’ve seen here on FR.

"but these forums are Exhibit "A" that that doesn't see to be the case with many. "

Discussion is not the same as attacking. You may think praying for the dead does something and others do not. That's not attacking. Some native dies in the jungle and a lot of people on here are jumping up and down claiming this or that. I say it's none of our business. God does the judging, not us and not our system. I can't invest the emotional weight that some on here do because what we think doesn't count for what other people do or their eternity destination.

Golly!

I wonder WHY??

The Book indicates that you would be living the right doctrine if you point out the ERROR that others put forward.

1 Timothy 4:6
   If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

 

 

1 Timothy 4:1-2
 1.  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
 2.  Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

 

 

1 Timothy 1:3-4
 3.  As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer
 4.  nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work--which is by faith.

 

 

Titus 1:11
   They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain.

 

 

1 Timothy 6:3-5
 3.  If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
 4.  he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 
 5.  and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

 

 

 2 Timothy 2:15-17
 15.  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
 16.  Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
 17.  Their teaching will spread like gangrene.

 

 

Titus 2:15
  These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

Romans 15:4
 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

 

 2 Timothy 3:16-17
 16.  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
 17.  so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
