It's not clever, and makes you sound like a bigot.

It's cool for Catholics to belittle Protestants, but when Protestants point out serious problems in the "Church" then they're bigots?

Like I said before in this thread, "live by the sword, die by the sword" - if you start throwing stones and don't act like an innocent bystander when some get thrown back.

Who belittled Protestants on this thread? Can you point it out to me?

I have criticised these megachurches who have made this decision, and as another pointed out, this is 5 or 6 churches and not a general Protestant position.

So what was said that was so cheap of a shot that it requires making jokes about molestation and criminal priests?

Are you two brothers or the same person posting? Anyway, not to point out the obvious (again), but it is a matter of degree. There is a way to RESPECTFULLY disagree with another person's opinion. What people do or don't do on Christmas is their decision, and involves free will. But people do have various opinions about one of the biggest Christian Holy Days of the year and that's okay. What's not okay is some of the bigoted hyperbole that is being bandied about as opposed to well thought out, intelligent discourse.
