**What amazes me, though, is the lack of even an attempt to address those who challenge the erroneous (from a Biblical perspective, not one of fantasy) content posted.**
Good grief, what do you think all the apologetics are doing?
They are addressing these beliefs from a Biblical standpoint. LOL! (I think you knew that, right?)
You mean dumping of dogma into a discussion format and then not answering those that respond to the dogma.
If we wanted to be Catholics (or learn about Catholicism), we could go to Catholic churches/seminaries/websites, etc.
If we want to discuss something with a Catholic, that he or she brings up, we respond to the content of their post, and should expect the courtesy of a reply, though it is evident that many have been burned by the “dump and run” tactics I have seen repeatedly in just the past few weeks, and don’t really expect a reply.
Sad. (Not LOL as you seem to think.)
