I'm a God-fearing Catholic. "Bible thumpers" are a small minority of scientifically-ignorant fundamentalist Protestants who operate more out of fear of the intellectual than out of conviction. They are no more my "best friends" than fundamentalist Moslems, and for pretty much the same reasons -- both groups want to turn back progress because the rest of the world has pretty much passed them by.

Say Junior, if you are a God fearing Catholic, you would no doubt desire to follow the teachings of your own Church. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that we are to "love" our "enemies." That means you are to love people who hate you. You appear to be showing alot of contempt for Bible believing Protestants who have not even declared any animosity to you, my friend.

Therefore, it appears that you do not follow the teachings of your own church. One could, therefore, conclude, quite logically, that you are not a "God fearing Roman Catholic."

Unless, of course, you really didn't mean to say that. But in that case, you have shown that your own words cannot be trusted. You would be proven to be untruthful and unreliable. Therefore, you would be unable to make an evaluation of anything that purports to be "true" because you are prone to error and falsehood.

Kind of sucks, doesn't it?
