One more thing: If we Catholics did not have open threads, the Usual Suspects and the bigots would have no place to post their hate. They belong to sects so small that there is virtually NO NEWS to post one of their own articles about.
If we did not respond to their vicious baiting, they would have no one to argue with.
They define themselves as NOT CATHOLIC. I see no reason to give them an opportunity to pat themselves on the back and screech high-fives over gotcha posts.
Starve the beast, I say. Give them nothing, and they will die, because they HAVE nothing of their own.
Wrong, because there is NOTHING to stop them from posting their anti-Catholic threads.
“...bigots....”
This is a word followers of Rome use to describe Christians who tell Biblical Truth, which Roman doctrines cannot counter. Rome cannot discount the Truth so it must attack, demonize, and tarnish the messenger.
“.....post their hate...”
Hate is a word followers of Rome use for Bible verses and interpretations that show the doctrines of Rome to be false. Again we see that when Rome cannot discount the Truth it must attack, demonize, and tarnish the message.
“...sects so small...”
Followers of Rome like to believe that the amount of worshipers one has in one’s edifice determines if that edifice is Christian. This is obviously not true as one can see there are huge numbers of people that follow the false doctrines of Asia, the Middle East, etc.
“If we did not respond...”
If those who follow Rome did not post their blasphemous and idolatrous articles on FR, Christians here wouldn’t be in a position to tell the truth about those articles.
“Give them nothing...”
I actually am in favor of this. If Vaticanians would stop posting idolatrous and blasphemous articles on FR I wouldn’t have to see their idolatry and blasphemy anymore. Also, and much much more important, lurkers and fence-sitters won’t be in danger of being lead to damnation by Rome here on FR anymore. This would cause me to give a great shout of Praise Yahweh!!!!
