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.

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

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.

I think the comment onyx mentioned from CynicalBear, regarding more Catholics being in hell than Muslims, should be removed,

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.

I didn't realize so many others were similarly discouraged, and will back off again soon myself even though I

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?

There’s problems on both ends. That’s why a [devout, patient] Catholic moderator helping out would be very beneficial. Would you keep [happily] attending your son’s soccer games if both referees were opposing team fathers [and you didn’t always agree with their calls]?

I didn't come upon this thread until the first day I commented. I never go to the SBR, so I'm still not sure how I found it, but I very much agreed with the sentiments of the OP, so I kept reading and reading.

It's a good thread, imo, in that there are many more who agree with her. As far as mentioning the other thread I appeared on, I think one of the things about the Free Republic Religion Forum that bugs me the most is that men trounce on women the same way they would do so on men, and chivalry is important to keep a relationship, marriage, the whole darn country, alive, and when I see a man "bugging" a woman, and no one comes to her rescue, I might interject [however I have not hit the abuse button in almost two years]. That's just how I was raised; my father and brother always respected women just because they were women.

It doesn't bother me as much if men want to rip each other's faces off. It's a guy thing; ya know? But when women enter the conversation, there should be at least a modicum of special respect.
