Well, I guess that’s the closest you’re ever going to come to making an intelligent argument.
“In case you’re not aware of it, this thread was NOT one of the closed ones where your poor little sensitivities aren’t allowed to be hurt by alternative perspectives...even if they offend you so greatly as to be incomprehensible to you.”
1) I knew it was an open thread and I don’t see why that means you think posting irrationally makes sense.
2) What might offend me is not likely to be incomprehensible to me.
3) Your comments did not offend me.
Care to try again? You’re not doing so well thus far.
“It is open to those of us who, praise God, have escaped the confines of the Catholic Church.”
Confines? Where to these confines begin and end? Can you document these confines?
“If I might assume that you in fact have a somewhat functional brain, albeit having admitted to relinquishing your free will, your defensive reaction to my “rant” does little more than demonstrate the fragility of your position.”
Try not to be dishonest. I have never relinquished my free will. I am a Catholic by choice. Do you resort to such false claims when you have no argument? Also, how is asking you to make an argument a “defensive reaction”?
“I spent far too much time in my life among your sort, so forgive me for ignoring any additional attacks you may feel the need to make.”
Attacks? Again, how is asking you to make an argument an “attack”?
“With the exception of weddings and funerals, I will not darken the doors of a Catholic church for the remainder of my life. Thank you and Mr Vortex for re-affirming the soundness of that decision.”
There doesn’t seem to be any soundness to it. Again, it seems irrational. You certainly can’t seem to show any rational basis for it. No surprise there.
Let me explain something to you in small words so you might understand: Just because you don't understand what I post, does not mean I should feel any obligation (that means requirement) to post something according to your dictates.
No wonder you're at home in the Catholic Church.
Now, IF you've been able to find salvation hidden among the baloney of your beloved religion, I'll see you in eternity.
If not, this is goodbye forever.
