I assert that the Catholic church in the context of all of history is something basically good; quite good, in fact. I don't get the bashing.

That's beside the point. The protestants by the same measure are something basically good. That doesn't make either of you scripturally right when you take it upon yourselves to "throw the first stone". And I truly don't care which group it is. I study Religions as a hobby - mostly after the type of a Walter Martin. I've done so for quite a long time. And I've got little use for handwringing from any group, Lutheran, Mormon, Jehovah's witnesses, Roman Catholics, Orthodox, it matters not a whit to me. If you pick up the name of Christ and start waving it as a banner but aren't following scripture, I'm going to defend scripture. If you stand up and lie openly with Christ's standard out in front of you, I'm gonna call you a liar. Simple as that. Mormons want to walk through the bible and pick out verses here and there - 'look God has hands, he has feet, he has hair... God is a man.' I say, Psalm 57:1 - God has wings - he's a chicken. That is mildly funny; but, it's terribly absurd that one should have to make it that blatent - even if I have to uncerimoniously lift the example from Walt Martin LOL.

You don't even see how much you fit the profile of the publican who prays to God "Oh thank you for not making me like them."
