"Believe what YOU want or believe what the Church founded by Christ teaches"

See...even though we aren't Catholics, we believe in the Bible, and Christ's teachings.

That doesn't make us the Catholic's enemy, though some Catholics seem to want it to be thus.

I'm not talking about you...;o)

I’m all for a conversation where A says “we believe X” and B says, “oh, wow, we believe not(X)” and A says “Hmmm. Interesting.”

Great stuff (despite my description).

But when A says “Catholics believe X and that’s from the devil” and B says “No, we believe not(X)—” and A says, essentially “Don’t try to lie about it...”

Well, that’s a kind of assault, and I’m going to correct it and fight it, because it’s a misrepresentation of MY faith.

Beyond that—beyond the “Catholics are WRONG!!!!!” garbage—I’m a laissez-faire guy. Men and women of good will can agree to disagree, pray for each other, and hope for the best.

The problem is that statement is too simplistic. Even the Jehovah's witnesses, Mormons and even Muslims say they believe in the Bible (parts of it) and Christ's teachings...
