"It is amazing the lengths to which catholics will go in order to hold on to their idolatry."

You know, this is getting tiresome. Roman Catholics have a slightly different understanding of Christianity than you do. I have no idea what your denominational beliefs are, but they're different from those who are members of other denominations.

You may be a full-immersion Baptism guy. Someone else believes that sprinkling is adequate. Catholics baptise infants. Baptists require that baptismal candidates be of age.

So? You can quote a few verses of the Bible. So can I. So can anyone who has studied it.

Catholics are Christians. You, I assume, are also a Christian. Why call anyone names? It's unseemly. You share a basic belief in the same deity. You share a basic belief in Jesus as a savior. I can guarantee you that there are Christians who would find whatever group you happen to belong to to be in error.

Let it go. Worship as you choose and let others worship as they choose. Their worship is none of your affair.

Where have I called anyone names?

No we don't. That is the point. The catholic church worships a god of their own making, not the god of the bible. They promote the worship of idols and false gods. They promote the worship of men both dead and alive. They can play all the word games they want but idolatry is idolatry and it is an abomination to God. My prayer is that perhaps even one person among them would begin to question the the things they have been taught and begin to seek the truth for themselves.

Or as Bart Simpson put it, "Don't you get it? It's all Christianity, people! The little, stupid differences are nothing next to the big stupid similarities! "

It's a joke, people....
