I take any poster who has scripture in his screename with a grain of salt

I am a Catholic. I follow the book to the best of my human ability and am torn apart when members of my faith, who should know better, cannot "Walk the Talk".

It also upsets me when other members of my faith will not condem a clear wrong.

If they would be so strong in supporting the word of God, instead of the manmade institutions that have stemmed from it, maybe the Church would have a fail safe, as no organisation we have on earth polices itself well.

As in other religions, we have the fundementalists too.

However most fundementalists take the Word of God literally and any manmade organisation that deems themselves better then the Word of God, would be in very serious danger.

It seems our fundermentalists seem to support the manmade organisations, whatever it does and seem to forget the organisation is here to spread and defend the word of God with all their might and not to defend the organisation.

We have a come a long way since the Christians would rather be fed to the lions than renounce their faith in God and his Word.

Are you sure you're a Catholic? You're using terminology and arguments right out of the Bible-only loaded-language playbook.
